Detailed Embodiments

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0018] Embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a preparation device for hydrofluoric acid used in semiconductors, including an arsenic removal reactor for removing arsenic from industrial anhydrous hydrogen fluoride; a rough distillation column for separating low-boiling and high-boiling impurities in hydrogen fluoride gas; an absorption column for introducing hydrogen fluoride gas into high-purity water for absorption; a rectification column for rectifying and purifying the hydrofluoric acid solution; a multi-stage filtration system for removing particulate matter and metal ions in the hydrofluoric acid solution; an oxidant addition device for adding an oxidant to hydrogen fluoride, and the oxidant addition device is installed on the arsenic removal reactor. Among them, the arsenic removal reactor, the rough distillation column, the absorption column, the rectification column, and the multi-stage filtration system are sequentially connected through a delivery pipe. After the arsenic removal treatment of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, it enters the rough distillation column to separate low-boiling and high-boiling impurities in the hydrogen fluoride gas. The hydrogen fluoride gas after separating the impurities enters the absorption column and is absorbed using high-purity water. Then, a hydrofluoric acid solution is obtained. The hydrofluoric acid solution is transported to the rectification column for rectifying and purifying the hydrofluoric acid solution, and then transported to the multi-stage filtration system to remove particulate matter and metal ions in the hydrofluoric acid solution, obtaining an electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid solution.

[0019] Among them, oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide and ozone are used, combined with optimized reaction conditions, to achieve efficient removal of arsenides without introducing new impurities. Through a combined process of rough distillation, rectification, multi-stage filtration, and ion exchange, efficient purification of hydrofluoric acid is achieved. Each device uses corrosion-resistant materials to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment in a strongly corrosive environment. An online monitoring system is introduced to monitor the purity and impurity content of hydrofluoric acid in real time to ensure that the finished product quality meets the electronic-grade standard.

[0020] In this application, the multi-stage filtration system includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, a first filtration mechanism 2 and a second filtration mechanism 3 are provided. The first filtration mechanism 2 includes a mounting shaft 201. Outside the mounting shaft 201, a microporous filtration membrane assembly 202 is provided. The microporous filtration membrane assembly 202 includes multiple layers of microporous filtration membranes arranged obliquely, which facilitates the hydrofluoric acid solution to flow through multiple microporous filtration membranes in sequence, enabling better filtration of the hydrofluoric acid solution. The microporous filtration membranes are arranged obliquely, which is convenient for the impurities to be filtered to incline to one side, avoiding blockage of the microporous filtration membranes and increasing the service life of the microporous filtration membranes. Inside the housing 1, a mounting post 203 is provided. A spring is sleeved on the upper end of the mounting post 203. The lower end of the spring is connected to the mounting shaft 201. The mounting shaft 201 is slidably matched with the mounting post 203. A shaking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the mounting post 203. The shaking mechanism is used to move the mounting shaft 201 up and down reciprocally, thereby driving the microporous filtration membrane assembly 202 to move up and down to form a shaking force, facilitating better filtration and flow of the hydrofluoric acid solution. The setting of the spring facilitates pulling the mounting post 203 to move upward. When the mounting shaft 201 moves downward, the spring will be stretched.

[0021] In this application, the second filtration mechanism 3 is installed below the first filtration mechanism 2. The second filtration mechanism 3 includes a filtration column filled with ion exchange resin inside. The filtration column is arranged below the mounting post 203. The hydrofluoric acid solution removes particulate matter through the first filtration mechanism 2 and then removes residual metal ions through the second filtration mechanism 3.

[0022] In this application, a microporous filtration disk 204 is provided below the microporous filtration membrane assembly 202, and the microporous filtration disk 204 is horizontally arranged; the shaking mechanism includes a driving component 4. Above the driving component 4, a turntable 5 is provided. An inclined plate 6 is provided on the turntable 5. A limiting shaft 7 is provided at the bottom of the microporous filtration disk 204, and the end of the limiting shaft 7 is in sliding contact with the inclined plate 6; by driving the driving component 4 to drive the turntable 5 and the inclined plate 6 to rotate, since the inclined plate 6 is arranged obliquely, it will contact the limiting shaft 7 during rotation, thereby jacking up the limiting shaft 7, and thus jacking up the microporous filtration disk 204 and the microporous filtration membrane assembly 202. At this time, the spring is compressed. When the inclined plate 6 rotates to Figure 3 the initial position shown, the spring will push the mounting shaft 201 and the microporous filtration disk 204 to move downward under the action of the restoring elastic force. In this way, reciprocating motion is achieved, thereby realizing the up and down reciprocating motion of the microporous filtration membrane assembly 202 and the microporous filtration disk 204, improving the filtration efficiency of impurities, and at the same time preventing blockage of the microporous filtration membrane assembly 202 and the microporous filtration disk 204.

[0023] A fixed shaft 8 is provided at the lower end of the mounting post 203. The turntable 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 8. A toothed ring 9 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 5. A gear 10 is provided on the output shaft of the driving component 4, and the gear 10 meshes with the toothed ring 9. The driving component 4 drives the gear 10 and the toothed ring 9 to rotate, thereby driving the turntable 5 to rotate.

[0024] In this application, a plurality of stirring plates 601 are arranged on the outer wall of the inclined plate 6. Installation holes are formed in the stirring plates 601, and a plurality of inclined blades 602 arranged at equal intervals in a ring shape are arranged in the installation holes. Through the arrangement of the stirring plates 601, when the inclined plate 6 rotates, the stirring plates 601 will rotate along with it, so that the solution between the microporous filter disc 204 and the second filtering mechanism 3 flows to form a backwashing effect, which can further prevent the microporous filter disc 204 from being blocked. At the same time, it will also increase the speed of the solution entering the second filtering mechanism 3 below, improving the filtering effect of hydrofluoric acid.

[0025] Among them, a first connecting seat 501 and a positioning bolt 502 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the turntable 5. The upper end of the positioning bolt 502 contacts the bottom surface of the inclined plate 6. The positioning bolt 502 is threadedly connected to the turntable 5. A second connecting seat 603 is arranged on the bottom surface of the inclined plate 6. The first connecting seat 501 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 603. By adjusting the height of the positioning bolt 502 extending out of the turntable 5, the inclination angle of the inclined plate 6 can be changed and adjusted as needed.
