AZEOTROPIC COMPOSITION OF ---2,2-DICHLORO-1,1,1-TRIFLUO~OETHANE AND METHANOL
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As modern electronic circuit boards evolve toward increased circuit and component densities, ~horough cleaning of the boards after soldering becomes more important. Generally, current industrial processes for soldering electronic components to circuit boards involve coating the entire circuit side of the board with a flux and thereafter passing this coated side of the boar~ over preheaters and through molten solder. The flux cleans the conductive metal parts and promotes solder fusion. Commonly used fluxes consist, for the most part, of rosin, either used alone or with activating additives, such as amine hydrochlorides or oxalic acid derivatives.
After soldering, which thermally degrades part of the rosin, the remaining flux and flux-residues are often removed from the circuit boards with a heated organic solvent. The requirements for such solvents are very stringent.
Defluxing solvents should have the following characteristics: be low boiling, be nonflammable, have low toxicity and high solvency power so that flux and flux-residues can be removed without damaging the substrate being cleaned.
While boiling temperature, flammability and solvent power characteristi C5 can often be adjusted by mixing different solvents together, the mixtures that are formed are often unsatisfactory because they fractionate to an undesirable degree on boiling while 2 ~2~4S
in use. The more volatile components of these mixtures vaporize first, causing the boili ng mixtures to continuously change in both composition--and boiling temperature. This fractionation is undesirable since it could result in altered solvency properties. The fractionation also makes it virtually impossible to recover and reuse a solvent mixture with the original composition.
On the other hand, an azeotropic mixture gives off vapor which has the same composition as the mixture. Since there is no preferential vaporization of the components, azeotropic mixtures remain constant boiling throughout distillation. In vapor-degreasing operations, this constant boiling aspect of azeotropic mixtures is desirable since the solvent vapor can be condensed back into a mixture with its original composition and then be used for the final rinse. Thus, vapor defluxing and degreasing systems act as a still. Unless the solvent composition exhibits a constant boiling point, i.e., is a single material, an azeotrope or is azeotrope-like, fractionation will occur and undesirable solvent distributions will result which could detrimentally affect the safety and efficacy of the cleaning operation.
Unfortunately, as recognized in the art, it is not possible to predict the formation of azeotropes. This fact obviously complicates the search for new azeotropic compositions which have application in the field. Nevertheless, there is a constant effort in the art to discover new azeotropes or azeotrope-like compositions which have improved solvency characteristics and particularly greater versatility in solvency power.
20~ 4~5 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition h:as been discovered comprising an admixture of an effective amounts of 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and methanol. More specifically, the azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions comprises about 97-99 weight percent 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoro-ethane and about 1-3 weight percent methanol.
The present invention provides a nonflammable azeotropic composition which is well suited for solvent cleaning applications.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
15 The composition of the instant invention comprises an admixture of effective amounts of 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (CHCl2CF3, boiling point = 27.9C) and methanol (CH30H, boiling point =
65.0~C) to form an azeotrope or azeotrope-like mixture. The fluorinated compound is also known as HCFC-123, in the nomenclature conventional to the chlorofluorocarbon field.
By azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition is meant a constant boiling liquid admixture of two or more substances, which admixture behaves like a single substance in that the vapor, produced by partial evaporation or distillation of the liquid, has substantially the same composition as the liquid, i.e., the admixture distills without substantial change in composition. Constant boiling compositions, which are characterized as azeotropes or azeotrope-like, exhibit either a maximum or minimum boiling point as compared with that of the non-azeotropic mixtures of the same substances.
~:012445 For purposes of this invention, effective amount is defined as the amount of each component of the instant invention admixture which, whe-n combined, results in the formation of the azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions of the instant invention.
This definition includes the amounts of each component, which amounts may vary depending upon the pressure applied to the composition so long as the azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions continue to exist at the different pressures, but with possible different boiling points. Therefore, effective amount includes the weight percentages of each component of the compositions of the instant invention which form azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions at pressures other than atmospheric pressure. When the pressure applied to these compositions is adjusted to atmospheric pressure, i.e., 760 mm Hg, these compositions will contain the azeotrope of the instant invention which will boil at the atmospheric boiling point for the true azeotrope described herein.
It is possible to fingerprint, in effect, a constant boiling admixture which may appear under many guises, depending upon the conditions chosen, by any of several criteria:
* The composition can be defined as an azeotrope of A, B, C, (and D...) since the very term ~azeotrope~ is at once both definitive and limitative, and requires that effective amounts of A, B, C (and D...) form this unique composition of matter which is a constant boiling admixture.
* It is well known by those skilled in the art that, at different pressures, the composition of a given a~eotrope will vary at least to some degree, 2 0 ~ ~ 4 S
and changes in pressure will also change, at least to some degree, the boiling point temperature. Thus an azeotrope of A, B, ~ (and D...) represent-s~ a unique type of relationship but with a variable composition which depends on temperature and/or pressure.
Therefore, compositional ranges, rather than fixed compositions, are often used to define azeotropes.
* The composition can be defined as a particular weight percent relationship or mole percent relationship of A, B, C (and D...), while recognizing that such specific values point out only one particular such relationship and that in actuality, a series of such relationships, represented by A, B, C (and D...) actually exist for a given azeotrope, varied by the influence of pressure.
* An azeotrope of A, B, C (and D...) can be characterized by defining the composition as an azeotrope characterized by a boiling point at a given pressure, thus giving identifying characteristics without unduly limiting the scope of the invention by a specific numerical composition, which is limited by and is only as accurate as the analytical equipment available.
Binary mixtures of about 97-99.S weight percent HCFC-123 and about 0.5-3 weight percent methanol are characterized as azeotropes or azeotrope-like in that mixtures within this range exhibit a substantially constant boiling point at constant pressure. Being substantially constant boiling, the mixtures do not tend to fractionate to any great extent upon evaporation. After evaporation, only a small difference exists between the composition of the vapor and the composition of 20~2445 the initial liquid phase. This difference is such that the compositions o~ the vapor and liquid phases are considered substanti al ly i denti cal. A~cordingly, any mixture within this range exhibits properties which are characteristic of a true bi nary azeotrope.
The binary composition consisting of about 98.8 weight percent HCFC-~23, and about 1.2 weight percent methanol has been established, within the accuracy of the fractional distillation method, as a true binary azeotrope7 boiling at about 28C, at substantially atmospheric pressure and is preferred.
The HCFC-123 of the instant invention may contain minor amounts of HCFC-123a.
The azeotrope of the present invention permits easy recovery and reuse of the solvent from vapor defluxing and degreasing operations because of its azeotropic nature. As an example, the azeotropic mixture of this invention can be used in cleaning processes such as described in U.S. Patent No.3,881,949, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The azeotrope of the instant invention can be prepared by any convenient method including mixing or combining the desired component amounts. A
preferred method is to weigh the desired component amounts and thereafter combine them in an appropriate container.
EXAMPLE l A sample of HCFC-123 was placed in a glass flask equipped with a reflux condenser and brought to a boil. Small amounts of methanol were incrementally added to the boiling HCFC-123 to form a refluxing mixture of changing compositi~n. The boiling temperature of this mixture was found to first -7-- Z~X445 decrease when methanol was initially added and then increase when the methanol concentration of the mixture exceeded 1.2 weight percent, forming a minimum boiling point of 27.6~ at the composition of 98.8 weight percent HCFC-123 and 1.2 weight percent methanol. The data for this distillation are shown in Table 1.
The existence of the minimum boiling point indicated the formation of an azeotrope between HCFC-123 and methanol with the above composition.

~:012445 For purposes of this invention, effective amount is defined as the amount of each component of the instant invention admixture which, whe-n combined, results in the formation of the azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions of the instant invention.
This definition includes the amounts of each component, which amounts may vary depending upon the pressure applied to the composition so long as the azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions continue to exist at the different pressures, but with possible different boiling points. Therefore, effective amount includes the weight percentages of each component of the compositions of the instant invention which form azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions at pressures other than atmospheric pressure.
