It can also be said that electronic-grade ammonia water, as one of the important chemical materials in the production process of advanced processes of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, has a very important position. In the preparation process of electronic-grade ammonia water, industrial-grade liquid ammonia needs to be converted into ammonia gas and purified. During the purification process, an oil-water separator is required to remove the oil and water in the liquid ammonia. For a traditional oil-water separator that separates by gravity, it is difficult to remove small emulsified liquid particles in the case of a stable emulsion formed by water and oil in the liquid. This separator can remove emulsified liquid with a relatively large particle size (particle size between 20 - 150um) through filtration, while it is difficult to remove emulsified liquid with a fine particle size (particle size between 1 - 20um), which easily leads to more emulsified liquid particles being carried when the gas is discharged, increasing the complexity of subsequent ammonia gas purification and resulting in a cumbersome production process for pure ammonia gas. Summary of the Invention

[0026] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia provided by an embodiment of the present utility model is used to remove, at one time, the emulsified liquid particles with a particle size greater than 1 μm entrained in ammonia during the oil-water separation of ammonia. It can effectively simplify the complex means for further purification of ammonia in the subsequent process, has a good efficiency in removing emulsified liquid particles, and has a good application prospect. In order to achieve the good separation effect of the separator, the separator is provided with a tank body 1, an intake pipeline 2 and an outlet pipeline 3 are connected to the tank body 1 for introducing the ammonia to be treated and discharging the relatively clean ammonia respectively, and an oil-water separation pipeline is arranged inside the tank body 1. The oil-water separation pipeline is used to discharge the oil stains and liquid entrained in the ammonia to prevent the accumulation of liquid in the tank body 1. In order to prevent some impurity particles from being entrained when the ammonia is discharged, a filtering component 4 can be arranged at the position of the intake port of the outlet pipeline 3 inside the tank body 1. The filtering component 4 can also be used for the ammonia to impact its surface when passing through quickly, so that the liquid entrained in the ammonia contacts the wall surface of the filtering component 4 further, thereby improving the adsorption effect on the liquid. In order to ensure the function of the filtering component 4, the filtering component 4 covers the intake port of the outlet pipeline 3 and forms an outlet chamber inside the tank body 1. Finally, a grading wheel 5 is rotatably arranged inside the outlet chamber, a driving component for driving the grading wheel 5 to rotate is arranged outside the tank body 1, and the intake port of the outlet pipeline 3 is communicated with the outlet passage of the grading wheel 5. It should be noted that when the outlet pipeline 3 is communicated with the outlet of the grading wheel 5, it is not directly communicated with the outlet chamber. At this time, driving the grading wheel 5 to rotate at a high speed can make the emulsified liquid particles carried by the ammonia about to be discharged from the outlet pipeline 3 be thrown to the edge. The thrown particles can directly impact on the inner surface of the filtering component 4 or return to the inside of the tank body 1 for reprocessing. The setting of the grading wheel 5 can effectively make the emulsified liquid particles with a particle size greater than 1 micron be adsorbed or settle, which can greatly improve the purity of the ammonia produced and has a good application prospect.

[0027] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia gas provided by an embodiment of the present utility model specifically provides an oil-water separation pipeline for separately separating oil and water. Specifically, an oil outlet pipe 6 and a drain pipe 7 are respectively connected and arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1. Since the density of the oil liquid is lighter than that of water when treating ammonia gas, the oil liquid will float above the water body. In order to distinguish and discharge the corresponding oil body and water body, the position height of the liquid inlet of the oil outlet pipe 6 can be set higher than the position height of the liquid inlet of the drain pipe 7. To avoid discharging the water body while discharging the oil body, resulting in difficult waste treatment, preferably, a hydrophobic and oleophilic membrane 10 is provided inside the oil outlet pipe 6 and near the liquid inlet. Specifically, the hydrophobic and oleophilic membrane 10 covers the cross-section of the oil outlet pipe 6. The hydrophobic and oleophilic membrane 10 is used to intercept the water body, and the oil body can be separately discharged through the permeation of the oil liquid through the membrane. Specifically, the hydrophobic and oleophilic membrane 10 is one of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene, silicon-based material membrane, and nanofiber membrane to achieve the above technical effects.

[0028] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia gas provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. To avoid the situation where the oil liquid may be discharged from the lower drain pipe 7 along with the water body when the water body is discharged and the oil liquid above is not completely discharged, to avoid this situation, a certain margin can be reserved in the tank body 1 during drainage to ensure that the oil liquid will not be discharged from the wrong pipeline. For this purpose, a liquid level sensor 9 can be provided on the tank body 1 and below the liquid inlet of the oil outlet pipe 6. When the liquid level sensor 9 does not detect liquid, it means that the liquid margin has dropped below this position, and the action of continuing to drain sewage can be interrupted. In this way, it can be ensured that only the preset type of liquid can be discharged from the oil outlet pipe 6 or the drain pipe 7.

[0029] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia gas provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. To improve the interception effect of the filtering component 4, the filtering component 4 can be set to be in a cylindrical shape as a whole, and a trapping mesh opening for trapping fine particles can be provided on the surface of the filtering component 4. Or the filtering component 4 can also be a metal mesh arranged densely, and the metal mesh needs to be formed into a tubular shape without obvious openings and cooperate with the tank body 1.

[0030] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia gas provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. In order to quickly settle the liquid carried by the ammonia gas, the intake pipe 2 can be set in an L shape. An umbrella-shaped plate 8 is provided inside the tank body 1, and the air outlet of the intake pipe 2 points to the top surface of the umbrella-shaped plate 8. By using the impact effect, the liquid component with a higher mass in the ammonia gas is separated from the ammonia gas itself, so as to realize the separation of the liquid component; as another implementation manner, the tank body 1 can also be set to be cylindrical as a whole, and the blowing direction of the intake pipe 2 is tangent to the inner wall of the tank body 1. At this time, when ammonia gas is introduced at a high speed, the centrifugal force will separate the liquid component carried therein from the ammonia gas, so that the separated ammonia gas can be discharged and collected from the position of the air outlet pipe 3.

[0031] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia gas provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Considering that when ammonia gas containing an emulsion component passes through the grading wheel 5, smaller emulsion particles are likely to adhere to the surface of the grading wheel 5, thus affecting the filtering performance of the grading wheel 5. In order to improve the service life of the grading wheel, a number of nozzles 11 can be installed on the filtering component 4, and each nozzle 11 points to the position of the grading wheel 5. By spraying a cleaning liquid on the surface of the grading wheel 5, and the impact contact with the cleaning liquid can be realized by using the idling rotation of the separation wheel 5, so as to clean the surface of the grading wheel 5. The nozzles 11 can also be cleaned by spraying at high pressure, and the specific means are not limited here.

[0032] An oil-water separator for preparing pure ammonia gas provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. In order to facilitate the simultaneous control of a number of nozzles 11, it is provided that the device further includes an annular communication pipe 12. Specifically, each nozzle 11 can be connected and installed on the annular communication pipe 12, and a connecting pipe passing through the surface of the tank body 1 is provided on the annular communication pipe 12. By supplying the cleaning liquid to the connecting pipe, the cleaning liquid to be sprayed can be simultaneously supplied to a number of nozzles 11, thus simplifying the control mode of the nozzles 11.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the technical principle of the present utility model, several improvements and deformations can still be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
