[0002] High-purity arsenic refers to elemental arsenic with a purity of 99.999% (5N) or higher. It has a silvery-gray metallic luster and is primarily used in the preparation of III-V compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide. It is a core raw material for LEDs, lasers, solar cells, and 5G communication devices. Its preparation requires a combination of chemical purification (such as reduction methods) and physical refining (zone melting), and the production process must strictly control the risk of extreme toxicity. Global annual production capacity is approximately several hundred tons, making it a key basic raw material in the field of strategic emerging materials.
[0003] A known authorized patent with application number 201921748534.7 discloses a high-purity arsenic sublimation device, comprising a cooling system, a heating system, a sublimation furnace, a deposition system, and a vacuum system. The sublimation furnace includes a furnace body, a condensing inner liner, and a melting chamber. The melting chamber is located at the bottom of the furnace body with its opening facing upwards. The condensing inner liner has its opening facing downwards, and its lower opening is detachably sealed to the upper opening of the melting chamber.

[0004] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the above technical solutions: it is difficult to remove the condenser liner during use, making it difficult to quickly remove the high-purity arsenic, and directly heating the sublimation tank will interfere with equipment that is close to the tank.
[0005] Therefore, a high-purity arsenic sublimation device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

This would cause impurities to condense simultaneously with the arsenic vapor during condensation, resulting in a decrease in purity. The semi-embedded design of the crucible via the connecting pipe allows the heating jacket to directly heat the crucible without affecting the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] Implementation
[0025] Please see Figure 1 -4. A high-purity arsenic sublimation device, comprising: a sublimation tank 1, a tank cover 2, a crucible 3, a collection cover 5, and a negative pressure machine 11. The crucible 3 is located at the inner bottom of the sublimation tank 1, and a heating jacket 4 is provided on the outer wall of the crucible 3.
[0026] The lower wall of the barrel lid 2 is provided with a threaded bottom 21, and the outer wall of the sublimation barrel 1 is fixedly connected with a sealing eave 18, and the threaded bottom 21 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing eave 18.
[0027] The inner wall of the sublimation tank 1 is provided with an installation platform 22, and the collection cover 5 is located above the installation platform 22. The inside of the collection cover 5 is provided with a spiral pipe, and the inside of the installation platform 22 is provided with a cooling pipe 16. The spiral pipe inside the collection cover 5 is engaged with the cooling pipe 16.
[0028] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, material is placed in crucible 3, and then collection cover 5 is installed. During installation, the retaining ring 7 is first inserted into the sliding groove 8, and then placed above the mounting platform 22. Then, the circulating cooling module 17 is turned on to check whether the cooling channel inside the collection cover 5 is connected to the cooling pipe 16. After the check is completed, the circulating cooling module 17 is turned off. Then, the sealing ring 17 is installed inside the sealing eaves 18, and then the barrel cover 2 is installed. In use, the negative pressure machine 11 is turned on to evacuate the inside of the sublimation barrel 1. The filter block 14 prevents impurities inside from entering the negative pressure machine 11. At this time, the connecting pipe 15 outputs negative pressure to the bottom of the collection cover 5 to avoid uneven pressure inside the barrel. After reaching the preset negative pressure value, the heating jacket 4 is started to heat the crucible. The crucible 3 is heated. During the heating process, substances with lower boiling points evaporate rapidly and are then transported to the output pipe 10 via the conveying pipe 6 after passing through the collection cover 5. When the temperature reaches the boiling point of arsenic at the current pressure, the solenoid valve 10 is closed, and then the circulating cooling module 17 is activated. Coolant enters the cooling channel inside the collection cover 5 through the cooling pipe 16 and circulates to cool the collection cover 5. When the arsenic vapor comes into contact with the cool surface of the collection cover 5, it sublimates due to the rapid temperature drop. After the arsenic sublimates completely inside the crucible 3, the heating jacket 4 and the negative pressure machine 11 are turned off. When the internal pressure is consistent with the atmospheric pressure, the lid 2 is removed and the cooling circulation module 17 is turned off. Then the collection cover 5 is removed, and the solidified arsenic is collected.
[0029] Furthermore, a conveying pipe 6 is provided at the top of the collection cover 5, and a retaining ring 7 is provided at the end of the conveying pipe 6. A sliding groove 8 is provided inside the sublimation tank 1, and the retaining ring 7 is sleeved on the inner wall of the sliding groove 8. An output pipe 10 is provided on the outer wall of the sublimation tank 1. The conveying pipe 6 is connected to the output pipe 10, and a solenoid valve 9 is provided inside the output pipe 10.
[0030] Specifically, the setting of the retaining ring 7 provides an effective constraint for the installation of the collection cover 5, preventing the collection cover 5 from not being installed properly during installation.
[0031] Furthermore, the output end of the negative pressure machine 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 12, a vacuum valve 13 is installed inside the connecting pipe 12, a filter block 14 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 12, and the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the sublimation tank 1.
[0032] Specifically, by setting up the filter block 12, impurities in the tank are prevented from entering the negative pressure machine 11 during operation, thus preventing damage to the negative pressure machine 11.
[0033] Furthermore, a connecting pipe 15 is provided on the outside of the sublimation tank 1, and the connecting pipe 15 spans the mounting platform 22.
[0034] Specifically, the connecting pipe 15 connects the upper and lower parts of the collection cover 5 to avoid uneven air pressure inside the negative pressure tank 1 when vacuuming is performed due to the installation of the collection cover 5.
[0035] Furthermore, a circulating cooling module 17 is provided on the outer wall of the sublimation tank 1, and the other end of the cooling pipe 16 is connected to the circulating cooling module 17.
[0036] Specifically, the cooling circulation module 17 can quickly cool down the collection cover 5, and can effectively and quickly condense and liquefy arsenic vapor.
[0037] Furthermore, a sealing ring 19 is provided on the lower wall of the threaded bottom 21, and a vacuum gauge 20 is provided on the upper wall of the barrel cover 2.
[0038] Specifically, the sealing ring 19 is designed to prevent air leakage between the sublimation tank 1 and the tank cover 2 after installation, thus ensuring the airtightness of the device.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
