Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below.
As used herein, the term "waste hydrofluoric acid liquid" refers generally to a waste hydrofluoric acid liquid containing hydrofluoric acid [ HF (aq) ] and water, which is produced in a process of a high-tech electronics industry such as a semiconductor industry or a photovoltaic industry. The waste hydrofluoric acid solution further comprises at least one of nitric acid [ HNO 3(aq) ] and fluosilicic acid (H 2SiF6), according to the process of producing the waste hydrofluoric acid solution. For example, waste hydrofluoric acid solutions generated during silicon wafer cleaning processes include water, about 5wt% to 35wt% hydrofluoric acid, and about 0.1wt% to 5wt% fluosilicic acid. The waste hydrofluoric acid solution generated in the polysilicon etching process comprises water, about 5wt% to 35wt% hydrofluoric acid, about 0.1wt% to 10wt% fluosilicic acid, and about 10wt% to 55wt% nitric acid.
When the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid contains hydrofluoric acid and water, the method can separate, recycle and regenerate the hydrofluoric acid from the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid to prepare high-purity electronic grade hydrofluoric acid. When the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid contains hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and water, the method can separate and recycle the hydrofluoric acid and the nitric acid from the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid independently and regenerate the high-purity electronic grade hydrofluoric acid and the high-purity electronic grade nitric acid. Two embodiments of the method of the present invention are described in detail below.
First embodiment mode
In a first aspect of the present invention, the waste hydrofluoric acid solution includes hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, and water. The method for preparing the electronic grade inorganic acid by taking the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid as the raw material comprises the following steps S1 to S8.
Step S1
The method comprises the steps of S1, adding alkali metal salt containing alkali metal fluoride and alkali metal nitrate into waste hydrofluoric acid liquid to destroy azeotropic phenomenon of hydrofluoric acid and water, and performing first rectification treatment in a vacuum environment to separate hydrogen fluoride vapor [ HF (g) ], wherein the distilled residue is mixed solution formed by nitric acid, water, alkali metal nitrate and alkali metal fluoride.
The alkali metal salt is capable of breaking the azeotropic phenomenon of hydrofluoric acid and water in the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid and separating hydrofluoric acid from water, and the mixed use of alkali metal fluoride and alkali metal nitrate is more effective in breaking the azeotropic phenomenon of hydrofluoric acid and water than the single use of alkali metal fluoride or single use of alkali metal nitrate, and it is also particularly noted that the azeotropic phenomenon of hydrofluoric acid and water is broken by controlling the addition ratio of the alkali metal salt, and the alkali metal salt also changes the gas-liquid balance of nitric acid and water in the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid to shift the azeotropic point, but does not break the azeotropic phenomenon of nitric acid and water, so that the first rectification treatment does not separate nitric acid vapor, and therefore hydrogen fluoride vapor can be separated alone in the step S1. More specifically, the amount of the alkali metal salt is in the range of 20mol% to 40mol% relative to the sum of all substances in the waste hydrofluoric acid solution and the mol of the alkali metal salt, the amount of the alkali metal salt is more than 20mol% and can destroy the azeotropic phenomenon of hydrofluoric acid and water, more hydrogen fluoride vapor is separated, and further the method has higher hydrofluoric acid recovery rate, and the amount of the alkali metal salt is less than 40mol% and can completely avoid the separated hydrogen fluoride vapor from entraining nitric acid vapor. In addition, the alkali metal fluoride salt and the alkali metal nitrate salt have the characteristics of high saturation solubility and difficult generation of crystallization precipitation. Preferably, the alkali metal fluoride salt is one or more selected from lithium fluoride, potassium fluoride and cesium fluoride, and the alkali metal nitrate salt is one or more selected from lithium nitrate, potassium nitrate and cesium nitrate. Preferably, the molar ratio of the alkali metal fluoride salt to the alkali metal nitrate is in the range of 0.05 to 10, so that the method has higher hydrofluoric acid recovery rate (up to more than 99 percent) and nitric acid recovery rate (up to more than 95 percent), and the prepared electronic grade hydrofluoric acid has lower nitric acid content and lower hydrofluoric acid content.
Preferably, the pressure of the vacuum environment is 100mmHg to 500mmHg, the first rectification treatment is performed in a rectification tower with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, the temperature of the tower bottom of the rectification tower is 80 ℃ to 130 ℃, the temperature of the tower top is 50 ℃ to 100 ℃, and the reflux ratio is 0.5 to 3. Wherein the reflux ratio is in the range of 0.5 to 3, and hydrogen fluoride vapor with higher purity can be separated. It is worth mentioning that by adding the alkali metal salt, the first rectification treatment can be performed in a low tower bottom temperature range and a low tower top temperature range, so that the effects of saving energy and reducing corrosion of the rectification tower are achieved.
If the waste hydrofluoric acid solution further contains fluosilicic acid, the step S1 further comprises adding sodium hydroxide to the waste hydrofluoric acid solution to convert fluosilicic acid into sodium fluosilicate before adding the alkali metal salt, and removing the sodium fluosilicate through filtration treatment.
Step S2
And S2, removing mist drops which contain impurities and are entrained in the hydrogen fluoride vapor to obtain pure hydrogen fluoride vapor.
Wherein the droplets are removed by passing the hydrogen fluoride vapor through a multiple demister apparatus comprising at least two demisters connected in series, each demister comprising more than one packing unit. The packing unit is provided with a bearing frame and packing filled in the bearing frame. The material of the bearing frame is at least one selected from perfluoro alkoxy vinyl ether copolymer (PFA) and modified polytetrafluoroethylene (M-PTFE). The filler is made of a material selected from perfluoroalkoxy vinyl ether copolymer or modified polytetrafluoroethylene. The filler material of the filler units in each demister can be the same or different. The filler is in a wire mesh shape or a 3D honeycomb shape, and the specific surface area of the filler ranges from 200m 2/m3 to 2000m 2/m3.
Step S3
And S3, condensing the pure hydrogen fluoride vapor, and then adjusting the concentration by using ultrapure water, so as to prepare the electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid with the hydrofluoric acid concentration range of 49+/-0.5%.
Step S4

Preferably, the temperature of the first evaporation treatment is in the range of 130 ℃ to 180 ℃, and the first evaporation treatment is performed in a vacuum evaporation kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining. Wherein the temperature of the first evaporation treatment is in the range of 130 ℃ to 180 ℃ so that the alkali metal salt concentrated solution has high concentration, thereby being beneficial to the transportation of the alkali metal salt concentrated solution in equipment and pipelines.
In the step S4, the alkali metal salt concentrated solution is recovered and introduced into the first rectification treatment of the step S1 for recycling. More specifically, the alkali metal salt concentrated solution recovered in step S4 is used in the next step S1 to break the azeotropic phenomenon between hydrofluoric acid and water, and since a relatively large amount of alkali metal nitrate and alkali metal fluoride are used in the actual implementation of the method of the present invention, a relatively large amount of alkali metal salt concentrated solution is relatively generated, the alkali metal salt concentrated solution is recovered and recycled, so that the method not only avoids deriving the waste of the secondary process, but also is more energy-saving and environment-friendly.
Step S5
And S5, adding alkaline earth metal nitrate into the nitric acid-water mixed solution obtained in the step S4 to destroy the azeotropic phenomenon of nitric acid and water, and performing second rectification treatment in a vacuum environment to separate nitric acid vapor [ NO 3(g) ], wherein the distilled residue is alkaline earth metal nitrate solution formed by alkaline earth metal nitrate and water.
The nitric acid and water in the nitric acid-water mixed solution obtained in the step S4 still have an azeotropic point, and the azeotropic phenomenon of the nitric acid and water in the nitric acid-water mixed solution can be broken by adding the alkaline earth metal nitrate in the step S5, so that the nitric acid and water can be separated, and therefore the nitric acid vapor can be separated from the nitric acid-water mixed solution in the step S5, and the alkaline earth metal nitrate solution is formed by the water and the alkaline earth metal nitrate. Preferably, the alkaline earth metal nitrate is one or more selected from magnesium nitrate and calcium nitrate. Preferably, the amount of the alkaline earth metal nitrate ranges from 40mol% to 65mol% relative to the sum of the alkaline earth metal nitrate, the nitric acid and water in the nitric acid-water mixed solution, more nitric acid vapor can be separated from the alkaline earth metal nitrate more than 40mol% so that the method has higher nitric acid recovery rate, and the amount of the alkaline earth metal nitrate less than 65mol% can prevent the alkaline earth metal nitrate from generating crystallization due to the too high concentration of the alkaline earth metal nitrate so as to block a pipeline of equipment.
Preferably, the pressure of the vacuum environment is 100mmHg to 500mmHg, the second rectification treatment is performed in a rectification tower with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, the temperature of the tower bottom of the rectification tower is 120 ℃ to 140 ℃, the temperature of the tower top is 70 ℃ to 100 ℃ and the reflux ratio is 0.5 to 3, wherein the reflux ratio is 0.5 to 3, and nitric acid vapor with higher purity can be separated.
Step S6
And S6, removing mist drops which contain impurities and are entrained in the nitric acid vapor so as to obtain pure nitric acid vapor. The nitric acid vapor is passed through a multiple demisting device to remove the droplets, wherein the multiple demisting device is as described above and will not be described herein.
Step S7
And S7, condensing the pure nitric acid vapor, and then adjusting the concentration by using ultrapure water to obtain the electronic grade nitric acid with the nitric acid concentration range of 70+/-0.5%.
Step S8
And S8, carrying out second evaporation treatment on the alkaline earth metal nitrate solution obtained in the step S5, and evaporating part of water in the alkaline earth metal nitrate solution to concentrate the water to form an alkaline earth metal nitrate concentrated solution. Wherein the temperature of the second evaporation treatment is in the range of 130 ℃ to 180 ℃, and the second evaporation treatment is performed in a vacuum evaporation kettle with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining.
In the step S8, the alkaline earth metal nitrate concentrated solution is recovered and introduced into the second rectification treatment of the step S5 for recycling. More specifically, the alkaline earth metal nitrate concentrated solution recovered in step S8 is used in the next step S5 to break the azeotropic phenomenon between nitric acid and water, and since a relatively large amount of alkaline earth metal nitrate is used in the actual implementation of the method of the present invention, a relatively large amount of alkaline earth metal nitrate concentrated solution is relatively produced, the alkaline earth metal nitrate concentrated solution is recovered and recycled, so that the secondary process waste is avoided, and the method is more energy-saving and environment-friendly.
Second mode of implementation

The alkali metal salt can destroy the azeotropic phenomenon of hydrofluoric acid and water in the waste hydrofluoric acid liquid so as to separate the hydrofluoric acid from the water, and compared with the alkali metal fluoride salt or the alkali metal nitrate which are singly used, the mixed use of the alkali metal fluoride salt and the alkali metal nitrate has better effect of destroying the azeotropic phenomenon of the hydrofluoric acid and the water. Preferably, the alkali metal fluoride salt is one or more selected from lithium fluoride, potassium fluoride and cesium fluoride, and the alkali metal nitrate salt is one or more selected from lithium nitrate, potassium nitrate and cesium nitrate. Preferably, the alkali metal salt is used in an amount in the range of 20mol% or more, relative to the sum of the moles of all the substances in the waste hydrofluoric acid solution and the alkali metal salt, to separate out more of the hydrogen fluoride vapor and thereby to give the process of the present invention a higher hydrofluoric acid recovery rate, and more preferably, the alkali metal salt is used in an amount in the range of 20mol% to 40mol%. Preferably, the molar ratio of the alkali metal fluoride to the alkali metal nitrate is in the range of 0.05 to 10, enabling the process of the invention to have a higher recovery of hydrofluoric acid.

The material of the bearing frame is at least one selected from perfluoro alkoxy vinyl ether copolymer (PFA) and modified polytetrafluoroethylene (M-PTFE). The filler is made of a material selected from perfluoroalkoxy vinyl ether copolymer or modified polytetrafluoroethylene. The filler material of the filler units in each demister can be the same or different.
