Description

Technical Field

[0002] High-purity isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is an important electronic chemical, primarily used for cleaning and drying in the production of integrated circuits (ICs). As IC manufacturing processes become more sophisticated, requirements for the purity, metal ion concentration, and particulate matter content of IPA are becoming increasingly stringent, as is the demand for quality stability.

[0003] Currently, the production of high-purity isopropyl alcohol typically uses industrial-grade isopropyl alcohol as a raw material, which contains trace light components, heavy components, and water. After light and heavy components are removed and purified by dehydration, metal ions are removed by adsorption and other methods, and high-purity electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol is obtained after nanofiltration. Common methods for light and heavy components removal and dehydration purification include: Patent CN 117919747 A discloses a method for preparing electronic-grade isopropyl alcohol by combining membrane dehydration and entrainer dehydration in series. While this method can increase the yield of isopropyl alcohol and reduce tower height, it introduces a large amount of additional solvent, which affects the quality and stability of the high-purity isopropyl alcohol product. Patent CN 216934754 U discloses a method for preparing anhydrous isopropyl alcohol by combining a molecular sieve and a pervaporation membrane in series. This method overcomes the poor dehydration stability of molecular sieves and improves dehydration reliability. However, the pervaporation membrane requires negative pressure operation, requires a large membrane area, is susceptible to contamination, and is difficult to clean after membrane replacement.
