TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of hydrochloric acid purification, and particularly relates to a high-yield electronic-grade hydrochloric acid purification method based on heating. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydrochloric acid is an indispensable basic chemical in the high-tech industries such as semiconductors, electronics and optoelectronics, and the purity of the hydrochloric acid directly affects the performance and yield of electronic devices. With the continuous reduction of the process node of integrated circuits, the purity requirement of electronic-grade hydrochloric acid is also getting higher and higher, especially the control of metal ions, particulate matter and oxidizing impurities is more stringent.
[0003] However, there are still some problems in the purification process of electronic-grade hydrochloric acid in the prior art: first, the traditional electronic-grade hydrochloric acid purification process usually needs complex equipment and multiple processes, resulting in high production cost; second, the removal rate of metal impurities in the prior art is insufficient, which is difficult to meet the requirements of advanced electronic industry for ultra-pure hydrochloric acid; third, the value utilization rate of chlorine resources is low, and the by-product recovery and utilization is insufficient; finally, the preparation of electronic-grade chemicals has the characteristics of harsh production conditions and high technical threshold, and the stability and controllability of the existing process still need to be improved. Especially in the preparation process of high-concentration hydrochloric acid, how to effectively control the temperature and efficiency of the absorption process, and how to realize the efficient regeneration and utilization of concentrated sulfuric acid, are the technical problems to be solved at present. SUMMARY
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the application is that the traditional electronic-grade hydrochloric acid purification process has the defects of high production cost, insufficient removal rate of metal impurities, low value utilization rate of chlorine resources and harsh production conditions and high technical threshold of electronic-grade chemical preparation, and a high-yield electronic-grade hydrochloric acid purification method based on heating is provided.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the application to solve the technical problem is to provide a high-yield electronic-grade hydrochloric acid purification method based on heating, which comprises five subsystems: a hydrochloric acid purification and absorption system, a dilute sulfuric acid concentration and regeneration system, an 18 mega-ohm ultra-pure water system, a protective gas system and a cooling water system. The hydrochloric acid purification and absorption system comprises two steps of hydrogen chloride gas concentration and multi-stage ultra-pure water absorption.
[0006] Preferably, in the hydrogen chloride gas purification step with concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride gas, a byproduct of the caustic soda unit, with a purity of 90-96% and a temperature ≤40℃, is used. This gas is passed through a scrubbing tower filled with 98wt% concentrated sulfuric acid, with a gas velocity controlled at 0.3-0.5 m / s. This removes moisture and some metal ions from the gas. The sulfuric acid temperature is maintained at 40±2℃, and the sulfuric acid is temperature-controlled via a cooling water system with a residence time ≥15 seconds. This removes impurities such as Fe, Cl2, and organic matter, resulting in purified hydrogen chloride gas with a total metal impurity content <500 ppb.
[0007] Furthermore, in the multi-stage ultrapure water absorption step, the purified hydrogen chloride gas is introduced into a four-stage quartz glass falling film absorption tower. The first-stage falling film absorption tower performs pre-absorption, where the purified hydrogen chloride gas is countercurrently contacted with ultrapure water with a resistivity ≥18.2 MΩ·cm for deep absorption. During absorption, the liquid-to-gas ratio (L / G) is controlled at 1:1.5, the temperature at 30-35℃, and the residence time at 8-10 seconds, yielding dilute hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 20-25%. A portion of the unabsorbed gas phase enters the second-stage falling film absorption tower. The first-stage falling film absorber absorbs the gas phase from the first-stage tower outlet, controlling the liquid-to-gas ratio (L / G) with ultrapure water at 1:1.2, with the temperature controlled at 35-38℃ and the falling film flow rate at 1.2-1.5 m / s, yielding hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 30-32%. A portion of the unabsorbed gas phase enters the third-stage falling film absorber. The third-stage falling film absorber then absorbs the gas phase from the second-stage tower outlet, controlling the liquid-to-gas ratio (L / G) with ultrapure water at 1:0.8, with the temperature controlled at 38-40℃ and the nitrogen protection flow rate controlled at 2-3 Nm³. 3 The process yields high-concentration hydrochloric acid of 35-36% per hour, with residual HCl <5% in the outlet gas phase. This hydrochloric acid then enters a four-stage falling film absorber for absorption. In the four-stage falling film absorber, the outlet gas phase from the three-stage tower is absorbed by ultrapure water at a controlled liquid-to-gas ratio (L / G) of 1:0.5, with the temperature controlled at 40±1℃. This produces electronic-grade hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 36.5-37.0%, with unabsorbed gas <0.1% in the tail gas. This tail gas is then sent to a hydrogen chloride absorber.
[0008] Preferably, the dilute hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 20-25%, the hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 30-32%, and the high-concentration hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 35-36% are used for recycling in the production of general industrial-grade hydrochloric acid.
[0009] Furthermore, the dilute sulfuric acid concentration and regeneration system includes the following steps:

[0011] Preferably, the preparation process of the 18M super pure water system is that: the desalted water is pumped into an ultrafiltration system after the colloids and microorganisms are intercepted by a filter membrane with a pore size of 0.01um, after first reverse osmosis and second reverse osmosis, after an EDI module, it is sent to a pure water tank for standby, and the super pure water is used for water replenishment of an absorption system and a cold cutting system.
[0012] Further, the cooling water system uses pure water as the cooling circulating water of the process device, a closed circulation cooling water system is configured, and the closed circulation cooling water system is used as a waste heat conducting medium for device cooling, and after heat exchange, the cooling water is cooled by a closed cooling tower and then recycled after indirect heat exchange by frozen brine.
[0013] Preferably, the protection gas system uses nitrogen gas after rectification and purification from a nitrogen gas pipe network, and the purified nitrogen gas is supplied to each gas using point of the process.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the application are embodied in:
[0015] The high-efficiency purification of electronic-grade hydrochloric acid is realized by accurate control of process parameters, such as a terminal absorption temperature of 40±1 ℃; the overall efficiency of the system is improved by cooperation of subsystems, such as the use of ultrapure water for absorption and cooling; the production cost is reduced by about 42% by recycling resources, such as sulfuric acid regeneration and wastewater reuse; the removal rate of metal impurities is increased by 90% by using concentrated sulfuric acid purification and impurity removal technology, so that the photovoltaic-grade hydrochloric acid standard is met; the product quality is ensured by using nitrogen protection materials and 18 MΩ ultrapure water for absorption; the value of chlorine resources is improved by directly using high-purity hydrogen chloride gas (90-96%) produced by a hydrogen chloride synthesis device; and the process flow does not exist heating vaporization process, energy consumption is saved, production cost is reduced, and the process is clean and environmentally friendly, without new pollution factors.
