Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of chemical industry, and particularly relates to a system and method for preparing electronic-grade hydrogen fluoride from industrial-grade sodium fluoride. BACKGROUND

[0002] The traditional production of electronic-grade hydrogen fluoride is based on the traditional fluorination reaction process, uses fluorite (fluorite) as raw material, generates anhydrous hydrogen fluoride by reacting with sulfuric acid, and then removes impurities through multi-stage rectification, purification and other processes to finally obtain high-purity electronic-grade hydrogen fluoride. This technical path is the basis for the early development of the industry, and is still one of the mainstream production methods. The impurity content in fluorite is relatively high, especially the high-grade fluorite (CaF2 content ≥ 97%) accounts for less than 10%, and some needs to rely on imports. Impurities such as metal ions and silicon may be introduced in the subsequent reaction, affecting the purity of hydrogen fluoride. If the purity of the auxiliary raw materials such as sulfuric acid used in the production process is insufficient, impurities will also be introduced, affecting the quality of the final product. For volatile impurities such as arsenic fluoride, special treatment methods such as oxidation are required to prevent them from being distilled out with hydrogen fluoride, and the process control requirements are strict and the purification difficulty is great.

[0003] The electrolytic method has gradually become an important development direction for the production of electronic-grade hydrogen fluoride. This technology generates high-purity fluorine gas by electrolyzing molten fluoride (such as potassium fluoride-lithium fluoride mixed system), and then reacts with hydrogen to synthesize hydrogen fluoride. The electrolytic method does not rely on fluorite raw materials, and the product purity can reach 6N level (99.9999%), and has the characteristics of green and high efficiency, but it is still in the pilot stage and has not been commercialized on a large scale.

[0028] (3) The molar composition of the hydrogen fluoride gas discharged from the molecular sieve adsorption column 3 is: HF 0.999594, hydrogen 0.00008, nitrogen 0.00008, water 0.000005, oxygen / argon 0.00016, SO2 0.0000005, CO2 0.0000005, CO 0.00008. The gas is depressurized to a pressure of 3 bar through a pressure reducing valve. At this pressure, there is no azeotrope among the internal components of the hydrogen fluoride gas. The gas is then cooled to 20-25°C through a heat exchanger, and then enters the light component removal column 4 at a flow rate of 250 kg / h. The temperature at the bottom of the light component removal column 4 is 53.4°C, and the pressure in the column is 3 bar. The overhead condenser is started, and liquid phase reflux is generated.

The dried solid salt is discharged from the solid salt outlet N5 through the liftable stirrer I. The three-in-one reactor 1 is ready for the next batch production.

After the reaction was completed, hydrogen fluoride gas and a solid-liquid mixture were obtained. (2) The hydrogen fluoride gas discharged from the top of the three-in-one reactor is compressed by a membrane press. Then the compressed hydrogen fluoride gas is sent from the bottom of the molecular sieve adsorption column. The lower part of the molecular sieve adsorption column is filled with acid-resistant molecular sieve and the upper part is filled with modified acid-resistant molecular sieve. After being adsorbed by the acid-resistant molecular sieve and the modified acid-resistant molecular sieve in sequence, the hydrogen fluoride gas is discharged from the top of the molecular sieve adsorption column. (3) The hydrogen fluoride gas discharged from the molecular sieve adsorption column is first passed through a pressure reducing valve to reduce pressure and a heat exchanger to cool down, and then passed through a light component removal column for distillation. After distillation, the light component is taken out from the top of the column, and the hydrogen fluoride component after the light component is removed is taken out from the bottom of the column. (4) The hydrogen fluoride component collected from the bottom of the light removal tower is fed into the heavy removal tower for distillation. After distillation, the heavy component is collected from the bottom of the tower and the electronic grade hydrogen fluoride is collected from the top of the tower.
