Set forth content of the present invention in more detail below by specific embodiment, except that the mentioned embodiment of the present invention, multiple implementation can also be arranged, not limited to by the embodiment among the present invention.
At a diameter is 50mm, highly is the inner nickel Pall ring filler of filling of rectifying column of 5m.The specific surface area of filler is 364m2/m3, and form of bio-carrier is the heap that looses.
Unstripped gas NF3 total amount is 300kg among the present invention, and wherein CF4 content is 500ppm, and this unstripped gas is added in the I rectifying tower 1 by valve 17, adds entrainer hydrogenchloride (HCl) by valve 7 simultaneously under this feed entrance point, and add-on is 15kg.The operating pressure of control rectifying tower between 0.1MPa~1.6MPa, preferred 0.2MPa.In this pressure range, can form the minimum azeotropic mixture of foreign gas and entrainer preferably, too lowly or too high all cause azeotrope not form, can't reach the effect that azeotropic distillation is removed foreign gas.Tower still temperature is-100 ℃, and the top temperature is-120 ℃, and control of reflux ratio is 1000, and the too little interior gas-liquid of tower that then can not make fully contacts, and reflux ratio too greatly then consumes energy greatly, increases cost.Cat head gas phase produced quantity is 4.25 * 10-4m3/h.The cat head azeotrope passes back into I rectifying tower 1 through condenser 4 parts by valve 11, and a part enters II rectifying tower 2 through valve 12.Control II rectifying tower 2 tower still pressure are 0.16MPa, column bottom temperature-105 ℃, the top temperature is-125 ℃, passes back into II rectifying tower 2 through condenser 5 parts by valve 13 by cat head, a part obtains a spot of CF4 through valve 14, and entrainer is recycled to rectifying tower 1 at the bottom of by tower and utilizes.The tower bottom entrainer of described I rectifying tower 1 and the mixture of NF3 enter III rectifying tower 3 by the road.The tower still of control III rectifying tower 3 is pressed and is 0.17MPa, column bottom temperature is-90 ℃, the top temperature is-110 ℃, pass back into III rectifying tower 3 through condenser 6 parts by valve 15 by cat head, a part obtains the product gas of foreign matter content below 20ppm through valve 16, and the entrainer that obtains at the bottom of the tower is recycled to rectifying tower 1 and utilizes.
With gas chromatograph the NF3 gas before and after the azeotropic distillation is carried out proximate analysis, by analyzing as can be known: the CF4 gas among the NF3 has been removed substantially fully, and the loss amount of NF3 gas is about 3%.Its detailed results is seen NF3 gaseous fraction analytical table.
In the comparative example, identical among unstripped gas composition and the embodiment 1, adopt single tower flow process, and rectifying tower 1 is identical in this rectifying tower and the last example, the operating pressure of controlling this tower is 0.3MPa, and the still temperature is-96 ℃ ,-116 ℃ of top temperature, reflux ratio is 1000, and the cat head extraction is 4.25 * 10-4m3/h.
Adopt gas chromatograph that the NF3 gas before and after the rectifying is carried out proximate analysis, as can be known: the CF4 content among the NF3 reaches 100ppm, and foreign matter content is still very high.Detailed results sees Table 2.

? Embodiment The comparative example who does not add entrainer
Inlet amount (m 3/h)? 3.0? 3.0?
CF in the unstripped gas 4Content (ppm) 500? 500?
Wherein embodiment adds the product gas that obtains behind the entrainer to form, and does not add entrainer among the comparative example.Through more as can be known: add entrainer and can significantly reduce the CF4 foreign matter content, improve NF3 product purity grade, reduce the loss amount of NF3 in the treating processes.
According to the rule of rectifying, when the three-component system of any composition carried out rectifying, first cut always obtained the two-pack azeotrope.But the rectifying behavior of forming different mixtures is different.Shown in Fig. 2,3, A and C are pure component, when original solution consists of the F point, add after the entrainer S, the composition of system will S point direction along the FS alignment and move, and when the amount that adds entrainer was suitable, total composition of system moved to the M point, extraction does not contain entrainer at the bottom of the tower, simultaneously separated azeotropic component A fully and entrainer formation azeotrope steam by cat head.Therefore, tower bottoms almost is pure component C, and the composition of distillate no better than or approach azeotrope and form.If the entrainer quantity not sufficient that adds can not steam with the form of azeotrope component fully from cat head, then in the still liquid a certain amount of component A is arranged also, as shown in Figure 2.When if the entrainer that adds is excessive, then contain the entrainer of some amount in the bottom product, as shown in Figure 3.Obviously both of these case all is unfavorable.Therefore in this technology, when selecting HCL as entrainer, the ratio of control entrainer and unstripped gas is between 1: 5~10.
