Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a carbon nanotube-supported Ru-Zn bimetallic catalyst for removing trace amounts of acetylene and ethylene impurities from electronic-grade hydrogen chloride. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic-grade hydrogen chloride is an important electronic specialty gas in semiconductor manufacturing, and its purity requirements are extremely high. Even trace amounts of acetylene and ethylene impurities can severely affect the quality and performance of semiconductor products.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN119524849A: Belonging to the field of high-purity gas preparation and catalysis technology, it discloses a copper-iron bicomponent composite catalyst for removing trace amounts of acetylene and ethylene from petrochemical byproduct hydrogen chloride gas to prepare electronic-grade hydrogen chloride gas. The preparation method of the copper-iron bicomponent composite catalyst includes the following steps: immersing carbon nanotubes in hydrochloric acid, washing them with deionized water until the pH is neutral, and drying them to obtain a pretreated carbon nanotube support; impregnating the active components onto the pretreated carbon nanotube support using ultrasonic-assisted impregnation, allowing it to stand, and then drying it to obtain the final product; the active components are Fe metal salt and Cu metal salt.
[0004] Currently, numerous methods exist for removing acetylene and ethylene impurities from electronic-grade hydrogen chloride, but these methods suffer from several problems. Traditional adsorption methods have limited selectivity for impurities, making deep removal difficult. While some catalytic hydrogenation methods can remove impurities, the catalysts are prone to carbon deposition and deactivation, and metal particles tend to agglomerate during high-temperature reactions, leading to a decrease in catalytic activity. Therefore, developing a highly efficient, stable catalyst capable of deeply removing trace amounts of acetylene and ethylene impurities from electronic-grade hydrogen chloride is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a carbon nanotube-supported Ru-Zn bimetallic catalyst for removing trace amounts of acetylene and ethylene impurities from electronic-grade hydrogen chloride. The operational steps are as follows, in parts by mass: S1: After drying 50-100 parts of carbon nanotubes at 250-320℃ for 0.8-1.2h, they are immersed in 500-1000 parts of RuCl3 solution, stirred at 25-35℃ for 25-35min, sonicated, and dried; the Ru-loaded carbon nanotubes are immersed in 500-1000 parts of zinc chloride solution, stirred, filtered, and dried to obtain the Ru / Zn intermediate; S2: Add 50-100 parts of Ru / Zn intermediate to 500-1000 parts of sodium hydroxide solution, add 1-3 parts of tetraallylammonium bromide (CAS No.: 19781-77-2) and 1.5-3.5 parts of 2,5-dimercaptothiadiazole disodium salt (CAS No.: 55906-42-8); after heating and stirring the reaction, dry the sample; place the sample in an HCl atmosphere to activate it, and obtain nanoscale Ru-Zn bimetallic catalyst.
[0006] Preferably, the carbon nanotube particles have a diameter of 0.4-0.8 mm.
[0007] Preferably, the RuCl3 solution contains 0.2-0.4 wt% Ru.
[0008] Preferably, the zinc chloride solution contains 2-4 wt% Zn.
[0009] Preferably, the ultrasonic temperature of S1 is 200-300℃ and the time is 0.8-1.2h.
[0010] Preferably, the drying temperature of S1 is 250-320℃ and the drying time is 4-6 hours.
[0011] Preferably, the sodium hydroxide solution has a mass percentage of 5-10%.
[0012] Preferably, the heating and stirring reaction temperature of S2 is 80-90℃, and the time is 20-60 min.
[0013] Preferably, the HCl volume fraction of S2 is 10-20%.
[0014] Preferably, the activation temperature of S2 is 110-130℃ and the activation time is 20-65 min.
[0015] Reaction mechanism: Under the activation effect of HCl atmosphere, nano-sized Ru-Zn bimetals form synergistic catalytic active centers. Tetraallylammonium bromide and 2,5-dimercaptothiadiazole disodium salt serve as composite modifiers, which can regulate the electronic structure and dispersion of the bimetals, enabling acetylene, ethylene, and hydrogen chloride to undergo hydrochlorination reactions at the catalyst active sites, achieving the directional conversion of unsaturated hydrocarbon impurities, thereby completing the deep removal from electronic-grade hydrogen chloride.
[0016] Technical effects: The prepared Ru-Zn bimetallic catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic removal performance for acetylene and ethylene impurities in electronic-grade hydrogen chloride, enabling deep removal of these two types of unsaturated hydrocarbon impurities and meeting the industry requirements for high purity of electronic-grade hydrogen chloride.
[0017] During catalyst preparation, the dispersion and stability of the bimetallic active center were improved by regulating the composite modifier and using a stepwise loading activation process, which effectively avoided the problem of metal particle agglomeration and ensured the long-term catalytic performance.
[0018] The catalyst has a controllable and mild preparation process. It achieves efficient loading of active components by relying on the characteristics of carbon nanotube support. The catalytic reaction process is compatible with the purification process of electronic-grade hydrogen chloride, making it highly applicable. Attached Figure Description
