Description
A method for rapid preparation of stannous methanesulfonate Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of stannous methanesulfonate preparation, and specifically relates to a method for rapidly preparing stannous methanesulfonate. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the electroplating and electronics industries, people have increasingly higher requirements for electroplating solutions, and there are more and more aspects to pay attention to, such as the safety, stability, and environmental friendliness of the electroplating solution. Electroplating solutions with stannous methanesulfonate as the main salt have advantages such as solution stability, low toxicity, low corrosion, low foaming, and high coating quality, and are mainly used in the tin plating process of electronic components.
[0003] Currently, the preparation process of stannous methanesulfonate mainly involves a displacement reaction between tin and methanesulfonic acid. CN1657520A discloses a method for preparing stannous methanesulfonate from tin powder. The method involves a displacement reaction between tin powder and methanesulfonic acid, followed by filtration, crystallization, and washing of the reaction solution to obtain stannous methanesulfonate crystals. Different concentrations of the crystals are then prepared. The yield of stannous methanesulfonate in this invention is approximately 90%.
[0004] Li Liqing disclosed a research study on the synthesis process of stannous methanesulfonate. He investigated the effect of experimental conditions on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate. Methanesulfonic acid and tin granules were heated to 140℃ in an oil bath and reacted for approximately 5.5 hours. The reaction was considered complete when the tin granules in the three-necked flask were completely dissolved. The reaction was stirred with an electric stirrer during the process. The reaction solution was then cooled to crystallize, filtered, and the filtrate was recovered. The filter cake was washed with anhydrous diethyl ether (the washing liquid could be separated from the diethyl ether and methanesulfonic acid by distillation at 40℃ and recovered for reuse). The product was then vacuum dried to obtain a white solid product. The results showed that the synthetic route was simple, the product was a white solid, the yield was high, and the product purity was high. The optimal process was a temperature of 140℃ and a reaction time of 5.5 hours, with tin granules having a diameter of 3 mm being the best choice. Under these experimental conditions, the yield of stannous methanesulfonate reached 97.08%. However, in actual operation, this yield is not stable, and the preparation time is long. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a simple, easy-to-control, rapid and stable method for preparing stannous methanesulfonate.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A rapid method for preparing stannous methanesulfonate involves reacting tin with a methanesulfonic acid solution under microwave heating for a period of time, followed by cooling and crystallization, filtration, washing, and drying to obtain the stannous methanesulfonate product. The molar ratio of tin to methanesulfonic acid is 1:(2-8), the microwave power is 500W-1500W, the reaction temperature is 120℃-150℃, and the reaction time is 1-2 hours. The filtrate obtained after filtration is a methanesulfonic acid solution, which can be recycled back to the microwave reactor for continued use.
[0008] The reaction principle of this invention is as follows:
[0009]
[0010] As a further technical solution, the tin mentioned above is tin flower or tin powder.
[0011] As a further technical solution, the mass concentration of the methanesulfonic acid solution mentioned above is 70% to 98%.
[0012] As a further technical solution, the molar ratio of tin to methanesulfonic acid is 1:4, the microwave power is 1500W, the reaction temperature is 140℃, the reaction time is 2 hours, and the mass concentration of the methanesulfonic acid solution is 70%.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the cooling crystallization described above involves naturally cooling the reaction product to 40°C to 50°C.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the washing described above is performed using anhydrous ethanol.
[0015] As a further technical solution, the microwave reactor for the tin and methanesulfonic acid solution described above is made of SiC material and is equipped with an infrared temperature measurement system.
[0016] As a further technical solution, the stannous methanesulfonate crystals are prepared into a stannous methanesulfonate solution, and an antioxidant is added to the stannous methanesulfonate solution to obtain an antioxidant stannous methanesulfonate liquid product.
[0017] As a further technical solution, the antioxidant mentioned above is hydroquinone, calculated at 0.2-0.6g per 100mL of stannous methanesulfonate solution.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0019] Compared to the problems of high-temperature decomposition and unstable yield caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the reactor in traditional oil bath heating, this invention uses a combination of infrared and microwave. Infrared temperature control can precisely control the reaction temperature and avoid decomposition of stannous methanesulfonate due to excessive temperature. Microwaves directly intensify the molecular motion of reactant molecules, which significantly accelerates the reaction. Combined with the limited preparation parameters of this invention, rapid preparation of stannous methanesulfonate can be achieved within 1 to 2 hours, and the yield can be stabilized at 84.1% to 92.4%.
[0020] The microwave reactor of this invention uses SiC material, which utilizes SiC's strong microwave absorption properties to achieve rapid heating, shorten reaction time, and is also more energy-efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Effect of experimental conditions on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate
[0037] (1) Effect of microwave power on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate
[0038] 14.5 g of tin flowers were weighed, and 50.5 ml of a 70% methanesulfonic acid solution was measured and placed in a SiC reaction vessel, which was then placed in a microwave oven. The mixture was heated to 140°C at different microwave powers (500 W, 1000 W, 1500 W) and reacted for 2 hours. The resulting solution was then poured from the reaction vessel into a beaker. The temperature of the solution in the beaker was measured using an electronic thermometer. The mixture was allowed to cool naturally until crystals precipitated. When the temperature dropped to 50°C, the crystals and unreacted methanesulfonic acid were separated by filtration. The stannous methanesulfonate crystals were washed with anhydrous ethanol, and the filtrate was recycled. After drying and weighing, stannous methanesulfonate was obtained. The results are shown in Figure 2.
[0039] As shown in Figure 2, microwave power has a significant impact on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate. As the microwave power increases, the yield of stannous methanesulfonate increases. When the microwave power reaches 1500W, the yield of stannous methanesulfonate reaches 92.4%.
[0040] (2) Effect of temperature on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate
[0041] 14.5 grams of tin flowers were weighed, and 50.5 ml of a 70% methanesulfonic acid solution was measured and placed in a SiC reaction vessel, which was then placed in a microwave oven. The vessel was heated to different reaction temperatures (120℃, 130℃, 140℃, and 150℃) at 1500W for 2 hours. The resulting solution was then poured from the reaction vessel into a beaker, and the temperature of the solution in the beaker was measured using an electronic thermometer. The solution was allowed to cool naturally until crystals precipitated. When the temperature dropped to 50℃, the crystals and unreacted methanesulfonic acid were separated by filtration. The stannous methanesulfonate crystals were washed with anhydrous ethanol, and the filtrate was recycled. After drying and weighing, stannous methanesulfonate was obtained. The results are shown in Figure 3.
[0042] As shown in Figure 3, the yield of stannous methanesulfonate increases with increasing reaction temperature. The yield of stannous methanesulfonate reaches a maximum of 91.8% when the reaction temperature is 140℃. When the reaction temperature exceeds 140℃, methanesulfonic acid undergoes a side reaction and decomposes, which reduces the yield of stannous methanesulfonate.
[0043] (3) Effect of material ratio on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate
[0044] Different weights of tin flowers (29g, 14.5g, and 9.7g) were weighed, and 50.5ml of 70% methanesulfonic acid solution was measured and placed in a SiC reaction vessel, which was then placed in a microwave oven. The mixture was heated to a reaction temperature of 140℃ at 1500W and reacted for 2 hours. The resulting solution was then poured from the reaction vessel into a beaker, and the temperature of the solution in the beaker was measured using an electronic thermometer. The mixture was allowed to cool naturally until crystals precipitated. When the temperature dropped to 50℃, the crystals and unreacted methanesulfonic acid were separated by filtration. The stannous methanesulfonate crystals were washed with anhydrous ethanol, and the filtrate was recycled. After drying and weighing, stannous methanesulfonate was obtained. The results are shown in Figure 4.
[0045] As shown in Figure 4, when the molar ratio of tin flaves to methanesulfonic acid is 1:2, the tin flaves reaction is incomplete, and the yield of stannous methanesulfonate is only 81.42%. The highest yield of stannous methanesulfonate is obtained when the molar ratio of tin flaves to methanesulfonic acid is 1:4, reaching 92%. The yield of stannous methanesulfonate decreases when the molar ratio of tin flaves to methanesulfonic acid is 1:6. This may be because when the amount of methanesulfonic acid is too large, some stannous methanesulfonate will dissolve in the methanesulfonic acid, resulting in a decrease in yield.
[0046] (4) Effect of methanesulfonic acid concentration on the yield of stannous methanesulfonate
[0047] 14.5 grams of tin flowers were weighed, and 50.5 ml of methanesulfonic acid solutions of different mass concentrations (70%, 85%, and 98%) were placed in a SiC reaction vessel, which was then placed in a microwave oven. The mixture was heated to a reaction temperature of 140°C at 1500 W and reacted for 2 hours. The resulting solution was then poured from the reaction vessel into a beaker, and the temperature of the solution in the beaker was measured using an electronic thermometer. The solution was allowed to cool naturally until crystals precipitated. When the temperature dropped to 50°C, the crystals and unreacted methanesulfonic acid were separated by filtration. The stannous methanesulfonate crystals were washed with anhydrous ethanol, and the filtrate was recycled. After drying and weighing, stannous methanesulfonate was obtained. The results are shown in Figure 5.
[0048] As shown in Figure 5, the yield of stannous methanesulfonate is highest when the concentration of methanesulfonic acid is 70%. As the concentration increases, the yield decreases. This may be because when the concentration is too high, the reaction rate is fast, which may lead to product accumulation and the occurrence of side reactions, both of which may affect the yield.
[0049] The above embodiments are merely specific examples to further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the scope of the disclosure of the present invention are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
