Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gas purification devices, specifically to a device for purifying ammonia-containing tail gas to produce ultrapure ammonia. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of high-end manufacturing industries such as semiconductors, LEDs, and photovoltaics, ultra-high purity ammonia (≥7N, i.e., purity ≥99.99999%) is widely used as a key electronic specialty gas in processes such as epitaxial growth and silicon nitride deposition. However, traditional ultra-pure ammonia production mainly relies on high-purity liquid ammonia distillation, which suffers from high energy consumption, strong dependence on raw materials, and expensive purification costs. Meanwhile, ammonia-containing tail gases emitted by industries such as chemicals, electronics, and metallurgy (such as synthetic ammonia off-gas and semiconductor etching waste gas) are typically treated only through simple absorption to recover low-value-added ammonia water or industrial-grade ammonia (99%–99.9%), failing to achieve high-value utilization and resulting in resource waste and environmental pressure.

[0003] Currently, industrial treatment of ammonia-containing tail gas mainly includes absorption, adsorption, membrane separation, and distillation, but each has its limitations. Ammonia water absorption involves absorbing ammonia-containing tail gas through water spraying to form 10%–20% ammonia water, which is usually used directly as industrial raw material or wastewater. While simple, this method results in low added value and cannot be further purified to high-purity ammonia. Furthermore, the absorption process easily carries impurities such as CO2 and H2S, affecting subsequent refining. Industrial ammonia distillation involves some companies using ammonia stripping towers to distill ammonia water, obtaining approximately 99.9% industrial ammonia. However, this process typically uses conventional packed or plate towers, resulting in low separation efficiency and high energy consumption (large steam consumption). It is also difficult to effectively remove light components (H2, N2, CO, etc.) and heavy metal impurities (Fe, Ni, etc.), failing to meet the purity requirements for electronic-grade ammonia. The traditional ultrapure ammonia production process mainly relies on high-purity liquid ammonia (5N-6N) as raw material, which is further purified to 7N through low-temperature adsorption and precision distillation. However, this technology requires high purity of raw ammonia, relies on imports, and is expensive. During the distillation process, it is necessary to strictly control trace amounts of water, oxygen (≤0.1ppm) and metal impurities (≤0.1ppb), which is technically challenging. The existing light removal tower (removing H2, N2, etc.) and heavy removal tower (removing metal impurities) have low coupling efficiency, and the product yield is usually less than 70%.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes an apparatus for purifying ammonia-containing tail gas to produce ultrapure ammonia, which sequentially converts the ammonia-containing tail gas into ammonia water → industrial ammonia → 7N ultrapure ammonia, thereby improving the purity and recovery rate of ammonia.
