The experimental methods in the following examples are conventional methods, unless otherwise specified.

[0025] The current mainstream purification methods of titanium tetrachloride are rectification, adsorption and vanadium removal. For example, high-boiling-point impurities such as iron are removed by rectification, and then the titanium tetrachloride after removing high-boiling-point substances is added to an organic vanadium removal agent to remove vanadium, and then secondary rectification is carried out, but this method requires more equipment, because the mechanism of vanadium removal is that high-activity microparticles are generated by cracking at high temperature and react with vanadium to increase the boiling point of vanadium impurities, and then secondary rectification is carried out, but high-activity microparticles also react with impurities such as iron, resulting in serious scaling of the equipment. Alternatively, two-stage liquid-phase adsorption devices, rectification units and precision filtration units are used to remove organic matter, metal ions and non-metal ion impurities by two-stage liquid-phase adsorption, then the product components are further purified by the packed column rectification unit, and finally the particle content in the product is effectively reduced by the precision filtration unit, but this method has high production cost, and the process has many steps, which increases the operation cost.

[0026] Therefore, the present application provides a directional purification method and device for titanium tetrachloride, which can effectively reduce the purification difficulty of titanium tetrachloride, reduce the production cost, and effectively improve the purity of titanium tetrachloride.

[0027] The embodiments of the present application disclose a directional purification device for titanium tetrachloride. As shown in Figures 1-3As shown, the directional purification equipment of titanium tetrachloride includes an oxidation device and a rectification system; the oxidation device includes an oxidation kettle 1, a pure copper part 2 contained in the oxidation kettle 1, and a spraying device 3 suspended above the pure copper part 2, the oxidation kettle 1 is provided with a feeding port 4 connected with the spraying device 3, and the oxidation kettle 1 is provided with a first heating device for heating the pure copper part 2; the rectification system includes a rectification kettle 5, a rectification tower 6 connected at the top of the rectification kettle 5, and a second heating device for heating the rectification kettle 5, the rectification kettle 5 is formed with a pressure port 7 and an inert gas port 8, the top of the rectification tower 6 is formed with a tower top condensation structure 9, and a plurality of tower plates are arranged in the rectification tower 6 along the height direction thereof.

[0028] In the present application, when impurities need to be removed from the crude titanium tetrachloride, the first heating device is used to heat the pure copper part 2 to a certain temperature and maintain the temperature, then the crude titanium tetrachloride to be treated is preheated, and then the crude titanium tetrachloride is sent to the spraying device 3 through the feeding port 4, so that the crude titanium tetrachloride is sprayed on the surface of the pure copper part 2 through the spraying device 3, the vanadium impurities in the crude titanium tetrachloride react to become high-boiling vanadium impurities, and then the titanium tetrachloride after contacting the surface of the pure copper part 2 is pressed into the rectification kettle 5 through the pressure port 7, under the inert gas atmosphere, by controlling the temperature of the rectification kettle 5, the temperature of the rectification tower 6, the reflux ratio, and the pressure and other parameters, rectification and purification are carried out, impurities are removed, and by using the tower plate type rectification tower 6, in combination with the inert gas, new impurities are effectively avoided in the rectification process, so that high-purity titanium tetrachloride is finally obtained, the directional purification equipment of the present application effectively reduces the purification difficulty of titanium tetrachloride, reduces the production cost, and effectively improves the purity of titanium tetrachloride, so that the purity of the final product meets the production requirements at the lowest production cost.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the crude titanium tetrachloride sprayed by the spraying device 3 should correspond to the position of the pure copper part 2 as much as possible, so that the crude titanium tetrachloride can contact the surface of the pure copper part 2 as much as possible, and ensure that the vanadium impurities in the crude titanium tetrachloride are fully converted into high-boiling vanadium impurities.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The pure copper part 2 is a copper pipe.

[0042] In the embodiment, when the surface of the pure copper part 2 is deactivated, the surface of the pure copper part 2 can be cleaned by introducing pure water into the oxidation kettle 1 through the water inlet 10, so that the pure copper part 2 can be efficiently reused, without repeatedly taking out the pure copper part 2, the operation is simple, and the way of introducing impurities is reduced.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The oxidation kettle 1 is provided with an air inlet 11. Preferably, the air inlet 11 is arranged at the top of the oxidation kettle 1, and a plurality of inlets are arranged to facilitate production.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The bottom of the oxidation kettle 1 is provided with a discharge port 12, which facilitates the transfer of the reacted crude titanium tetrachloride. The discharge port 12 can be used to collect the reacted crude titanium tetrachloride, or the reacted crude titanium tetrachloride can be continuously discharged during spraying.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the oxidation kettle 1 preferably adopts a steel-lined fluorine container.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The oxidation kettle 1 includes a kettle body 13 and a kettle cover 15 which is detachably connected to the top opening of the kettle body 13 through a flange 14.

The spraying device 3, the feed inlet 4, the water inlet 10, the air inlet 11 and the like structure can be arranged on the kettle cover 15. By removing the kettle cover 15, the pure copper part 2 can be easily replaced or cleaned.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the tower plate is a quartz sieve tower plate.

[0048] In the embodiment, by using the quartz sieve tower plate, new impurities can be further avoided in the rectification process.

[0049] Preferably, the quartz sieve tower plate is made of high-purity quartz with a purity of more than 99.995%.

[0050] Further, the number of tower plates is 10-20, which improves the separation effect while reducing the production cost.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the second heating device (not shown) includes but is not limited to being arranged at the bottom of the rectification kettle 5 or the side wall of the rectification kettle 5.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the directional purification device further comprises a tail gas absorption system (not shown) connected to the rectification kettle 5 and the rectification tower 6 to ensure pressure balance of the rectification system and collect other blown gases.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the discharge port 12 of the oxidation kettle 1 and the pressure port 7 of the rectification kettle 5 can be connected by a pipeline and the treated crude titanium tetrachloride is transferred by pumping, or the discharge port 12 is arranged higher than the pressure port 7 to transfer the treated crude titanium tetrachloride by natural gravity, or the discharge port 12 is not directly connected to the pressure port 7 to transfer the treated crude titanium tetrachloride by a container.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The overhead condensation structure 9 comprises a condensation pipe 16 and a reflux pipe 17, and a condenser (not shown) arranged on the condensation pipe 16 and a reflux pump (not shown) arranged on the reflux pipe 17, the condensate is collected through the outlet of the condensation pipe 16, and the condensate is partially or completely refluxed to the rectification tower 6 through the reflux pipe 17 and the reflux pump.

[0056] The present embodiment also proposes a directional purification method of titanium tetrachloride, which utilizes the above-mentioned directional purification device to purify titanium tetrachloride, and the directional purification method comprises the following steps:

[0057] S1, heating the pure copper parts and preheating the crude titanium tetrachloride to improve the vanadium removal effect.

[0058] S2, feeding the preheated crude titanium tetrachloride into the spraying device through the feed port, so that the crude titanium tetrachloride is sprayed on the surface of the pure copper parts through the spraying device.

[0059] S3, the titanium tetrachloride after contacting the surface of the pure copper parts is pressed into the rectification kettle through the pressure port.

[0060] S4, under an inert atmosphere, the rectification kettle is controlled at a temperature of 120-145℃, the rectification tower is controlled at a temperature of 130-140℃, the reflux ratio is controlled at 2:1-10:1, and the pressure is controlled at 7×10 4 -9.5×10 4 Pa, and the front and rear fractions are intercepted, and the middle fraction is taken.

[0061] The purification method of the present application removes impurities according to the different boiling points of titanium tetrachloride and metal ion impurities, under the protection of high-purity inert gas, ensures the pressure balance of the system through the tail gas absorption device, removes impurities through the control of the tower kettle temperature, the tower column temperature, the reflux ratio and the overall system pressure, and obtains the final product by intercepting the front and rear fractions and taking the middle fraction.

[0062] In the rectification process, the titanium tetrachloride in the rectification kettle is heated and evaporated, and the vapor rises through the rectification tower, condenses into liquid at the top of the tower, and according to the different boiling points of impurities, low-boiling-point impurities such as silicon tetrachloride are first heated and evaporated, and high-boiling-point impurities such as iron are left as the rear fraction in the rectification kettle. The overall rectification tower temperature is controlled at about the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride. Because high-boiling-point impurities theoretically will not evaporate (in fact, due to the height of the rectification tower and other problems, a small amount of evaporation will occur), the middle fraction is intercepted.

[0063] Through the above rectification process, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, silicon and other impurities in titanium tetrachloride can be removed, so that the vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, silicon and other impurities are less than 1 ppm, and the product meeting the production demand is obtained at a lower production cost and a simpler operation.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the crude titanium tetrachloride contacts the surface of the pure copper part to react as follows:

[0065] Vanadyl trichloride + copper → vanadyl dichloride + cuprous chloride

[0066] In the present application, based on the directional oxidation of vanadium element by high-purity copper redox, the low-boiling-point vanadium impurity vanadyl trichloride (boiling point 127℃) close to the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride (boiling point 136℃) is changed into vanadyl dichloride precipitation, which is attached to the pure copper part together with cuprous chloride precipitation, so as to achieve the purpose of removing vanadium impurities in crude titanium tetrachloride.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, before the titanium tetrachloride is pressed into the rectification kettle, the purified inert gas is first introduced into the rectification kettle and the rectification tower for purging; then the rectification kettle and the rectification tower are washed with pure water and dried, and the drying temperature is 120℃, and the pure water is preferably ultrapure water.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the rectification and purification process is as follows:

[0069] First, the titanium tetrachloride is heated in the rectification kettle, and the inert gas is introduced into the rectification kettle at 105℃-125℃ to perform low-temperature gas chasing. The low-boiling-point impurities contained in the titanium tetrachloride, such as silicon tetrachloride (boiling point 57.6℃), are blown out by the inert gas, that is, the low-boiling-point impurities contained in the titanium tetrachloride are blown out by the inert gas while the titanium tetrachloride is kept in a slight boiling state, and the gas blown out can be blown into the tail gas absorption device.

[0070] After the inert gas purging for several hours, the low boiling point impurities are effectively removed, then the titanium tetrachloride is continuously heated, when the temperature reaches 136℃, the distillate is distilled out, and the first 10% of the distillate is discarded.

[0071] Then the high boiling point impurities such as iron trichloride (boiling point 315℃) and high boiling point vanadium impurities are separated from the titanium tetrachloride by total reflux.

[0072] Finally, the 40-60% of the middle distillate is taken out as the final product.

[0073] By using the purification method of the present application, the high purity titanium tetrachloride obtained has vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel in the middle distillate lower than the detection limit by ICP-MS detection.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the inert gas used for purging and providing an inert atmosphere includes but is not limited to argon, helium, nitrogen, etc., and argon is preferably used.

[0075] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any changes or replacements easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
