The 1st described invention added crystallinity silicon-dioxide and generated hexafluorosilicic acid gas (6HF+SiO in distillation mechanism
2→ H
2SiF
6+ 2H
2O).Thus, can suppress metal ion reaction contained in fluorion and the sorbent material, improve the hydrofluoric acid formation efficiency.And, owing to reduce because of strong acid or highly basic, therefore can suppress the sorbent material deterioration by adding silicon-dioxide that crystallinity silicon-dioxide suppresses sorbent material.
The effect of the 2nd described invention is, in distillation mechanism, even the contained aluminium component of sorbent material by adding phosphoric acid, can be prevented still that the aluminium of stripping from combining with fluorine by strong acid or highly basic stripping, and the stripping of promotion fluorochemical (HF).
The 3rd described invention is set at 110 ℃~160 ℃ by the Heating temperature with distillation procedure in the above-mentioned distillation mechanism, can only distillate hexafluorosilicic acid, and suppress to distillate other heavy metal objectionable impurities.That is, because the boiling point of heavy metal is very high, for example lead is 1740 ℃, and cadmium is 766 ℃, chromium is 2200 ℃, white arsenic is 278 ℃, and mercury is 356 ℃, compared to this, the boiling point of hexafluorosilicic acid is about 110 ℃, therefore 110 ℃~160 ℃ scope, only hexafluorosilicic acid gasifies and distillates, and distillates thereby can suppress heavy metal.

The effect of the 6th described invention is, in the scope of 1 ℃~20 ℃ of above-mentioned cooling bodies hexafluorosilicic acid gas and water vapour are liquefied and to obtain hydrofluoric acid, thus in the process of the water vapour that is used for cleaning liquefaction, hexafluorosilicic acid can be hydrolyzed and become fluorochemical (HF) and silicon tetrafluoride (SiF
4), owing to having the lower boiling silicon tetrafluoride (SiF of boiling point for-86 ℃
4) can gasification after decomposition, and being expelled to the outside via removing device, the fluorochemical (HF) that therefore only has about boiling point more than 20 ℃ does not gasify, water soluble and become hydrofluoric acid and reclaim.
The 7th described invention still added crystallinity silicon-dioxide and generated hexafluorosilicic acid gas in distillation process, can suppress metal ion reaction contained in fluorion and the sorbent material thus, can improve the hydrofluoric acid formation efficiency.And, reduce because of strong acid or highly basic by adding silicon-dioxide that crystallinity silicon-dioxide suppresses sorbent material, therefore can suppress the sorbent material deterioration.

At the end of sending of path 5, be connected with cooling tower 16 via the access 15 that is provided with valve for preventing reverse-flow 14 as cooling body.This cooling tower 16 will and make its hydrolysis form hydrofluoric acid (HF+H by hexafluorosilicic acid liquefaction of gases that distillation procedure generated
2O); Pipe 17 and cooling coil 18 in this cooling tower 16 possesses, described interior pipe 17 flows down hexafluorosilicic acid gas from its upper end and is connected in above-mentioned valve for preventing reverse-flow 14 lower ends, and described cooling coil 18 helicallies are wound in the periphery of pipe 17 in this and at internal circulation water coolant (process water or pure water) are arranged.And, being connected with remover 46 in the upper end of above-mentioned valve for preventing reverse-flow 14, it removes the silicon tetrafluoride gas that hydrolysis produced by hexafluorosilicic acid gas.In addition, the temperature when using valve for preventing reverse-flow 14 to prevent to be stopped by distillation reduces that the pressure difference of being followed is caused fluoridizes the hydracid adverse current from cooling tower 16 distilled, also can use the open and close valve of attached valve for preventing reverse-flow to replace valve for preventing reverse-flow 14.Furthermore, pipe 17 lower end in above-mentioned is provided with the bin of fluoridizing hydracid 21 that storage has liquefied via open and close valve 19 and pipeline 20.
Next section at bin 21 is connected with the upgrading tower 25,26,27 that a plurality of conducts concentrate mechanism via open and close valve 22, pipeline 23 and open and close valve 24.Upgrading tower 25,26,27th, corresponding to the concentrated mechanism of the purposes purpose hydrofluoric acid concentration that the hydrofluoric acid simmer down to that is liquefied by cooling tower 16 is specific, its moisture as solvent in the hydrofluoric acid by the evaporation specified quantitative is adjusted hydrofluoric acid concentration.The hydrofluoric acid concentration of each upgrading tower 25,26,27 is identical or different respectively all can.In addition, because H
2O is 100 ℃ of evaporations, and the boiling point of hydrofluoric acid is 108 ℃, therefore heat below 100 ℃ concentrated.Then, at upgrading tower 25,26,27 top is provided with pipeline 29, and it possesses the dissipation valve 28 that makes when concentrated water vapour dissipate to the valve for preventing reverse-flow structure in the atmosphere.And at upgrading tower 25,26,27 bottom is provided with via pipeline 30 and open and close valve 31 and stores the bin 32,33,34 that is concentrated to the hydrofluoric acid of specific concentrations.
Then, the hydrofluoric acid generation method to the hydrofluoric acid generating apparatus that uses above-mentioned formation describes.
At first, the adsorbent A that 8 input solid are finished using in the raw material input port.Adsorbent A is with activated alumina (this activated alumina is porous matter and the noncrystalline matter aluminum oxide with big specific surface area, has the strong characteristic of adsorptive power) and silicon-dioxide (SiO
2) be sorbent material as the pottery of principal constituent; Can be from the hydrofluoric acid draining that mixes objectionable impuritiess such as various heavy, waste liquid by this sorbent material, utilize the adsorption filtration method come simultaneously or the interim fluorine that comprises in this draining, the waste liquid removed in interior multiple harmful substances.Here, use the adsorbent A that becomes the absorption state of saturation because of use.In the adsorbent A of this absorption state of saturation, HF (fluorochemical) becomes the silicon-dioxide (SiO as the adsorbent A composition
2) and HF (fluorochemical) bonded compound, i.e. hexafluorosilicic acid (H
2SiF
6) state.That is, easy and other melts combine of fluorion in HF (fluorochemical) monomer, but in the adsorbent A of absorption state of saturation, owing to be rendered as the state of hexafluorosilicic acid, so fluorion is difficult for and other melts combine.This adsorbent A is via feeding funnel 7, open and close valve 6, path 3 and drop down onto process furnace 2.
In this process furnace 2, inject and the corresponding highly basic of weight (for example sodium hydroxide) of adsorbent A or the solution B of strong acid (for example sulfuric acid) from solution tank 11 in advance.Thus, dropping down onto the adsorbent A of finishing using of process furnace 2 and the solution B of highly basic or strong acid reacts and the stripping fluorochemical.In addition, when on adsorbent A, being adsorbed with metal ingredient such as fluorochemical and lead or solvability iron simultaneously, in distillation tower 1 if with strong base solution or strong acid solution reaction, then from adsorbent A except the stripping fluorochemical, also can the stripping metal ingredient.
Dropping into the solution B of process furnace 2 can suitably select according to situation.For example solution B then follows distillation procedure also can microdistillation go out sulfate ion (SiO if use sulfuric acid
4 -), though produce the influence that is mixed in distillate, sulfate ion does not belong to the restrictive substance of draining restriction and underground infiltration lambda limiting process etc., in the metal washing procedure, sometimes also mixing such as hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid, sulfuric acid are used as mixing acid and use, so its influence degree is little.And, sulfate ion has also been established to adsorb with commercially available dedicated ion exchange resin and has been removed or make itself and solvability iron chemical combination and make the general treatment process that iron sulphide carries out precipitation process, and according to circumstances the method for removing processing from distillate also is easy.
Furthermore, handle, can avoid sulfate ion to be mixed in distillate if use sodium hydroxide to carry out stripping.Fig. 2 represents comparison sodium hydroxide and the sulfuric acid experimental result from adsorbent A stripping fluorochemical amount.As shown in Figure 2, handle sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sulfuric acid (H as stripping from the fluorochemical of the containing metal composition of adsorbent A
2SO
4) the either party all demonstrate stripping, but the result of extraction of sodium hydroxide is big slightly.
So,, carry out stripping with sulfuric acid when the mix sulphur acid ion can not constitute problem and handle, require hydrofluoric acid purity (not having other impurity) Shi Zeyi to handle with sodium hydroxide according to the desired hydrofluoric acid specification of user.
And, from crystallinity silica trench 41 the crystallinity silicon-dioxide and the adsorbent A of trace together dropped into process furnace 2, and further drops into the phosphoric acid of trace from phosphoric acid groove 43.When not adding crystallinity silicon-dioxide, the fluorochemical of stripping and metal ingredient can react and generate metal fluoride in process furnace 2.The boiling point of metal fluoride is very high, is difficult to carry out distillation procedure.Yet,, can prevent fluorochemical (HF) and metal reaction, and generate hexafluorosilicic acid (H once again by adding the crystallinity silicon-dioxide of trace
2SiF
6).
And, if use adsorbent A and sulfuric acid to react as strong acid solution, keep former state and stripping as the hexafluorosilicic acid that the silicon-dioxide of adsorbent A composition and fluorochemical reaction are generated, the composition of adsorbent A disappears, the problem that generation can't reuse, but have the advantage that can prevent this problem by adding crystallinity silicon-dioxide.
In addition,,, follow in the regeneration of the hexafluorosilicic acid of distillation procedure and distillate and significantly to reduce, silicon-dioxide that therefore must selective freezing therefore if use amorphous silicon-dioxide because fluorochemical is difficult to and amorphous silicon dioxde reaction.
Furthermore, when not dropping into micro-phosphoric acid, activated alumina as the adsorbent A principal constituent, that is aluminium component can react with the solution B of highly basic or strong acid, being captured the fluorochemical that enters in the adsorbent A can't stripping, and causes melts combine with aluminium component and generate the reaction of metal fluoride.As the Inhibitors of this reaction, can stop aluminium component and fluorochemical reaction by adding micro-phosphoric acid.
As more than, in process furnace 2,, shown in following chemical formula, generate hexafluorosilicic acid (H from the fluorochemical (HF) of adsorbent A stripping and crystallinity silicon dioxde reaction

Here, the Heating temperature of the distillation procedure that will be undertaken by process furnace 2 is set at 120 ℃~160 ℃, more suitablely is set at 130 ℃~150 ℃, You Yi is set at 145 ℃, then because the boiling point of hexafluorosilicic acid is about 110 ℃, water boiling point is about 100 ℃, so both sides all can become vaporized state.The temperature of scope thus, only low-boiling hexafluorosilicic acid gasification, distillating of hexafluorosilicic acid becomes maximum, thereby can stop other high heavy metal objectionable impurities evaporation of boiling point.
Hexafluorosilicic acid (the H that is generated like this
2SiF
6) utilize the water vapour of sending here from water vapour generation trough 10 to be cleaned to cooling tower 16.Be set at Heating temperature in the distillation tower 1 opportunity of utilizing water vapour to begin to clean and reach stage more than 130 ℃.In addition, if generate water vapour under less than 130 ℃ lesser temps in the temperature of distillation tower 1, then water vapour can condense on the pipe arrangement path halfway, hexafluorosilicic acid gas is stagnated halfway, the result is because the moisture that generates on the pipe arrangement face, can cause hydrolysis in the stage midway that is led to cooling tank 16, the hexafluorosilicic acid concentration that enters cooling tank 16 reduces.And, since water vapour halfway stage cohesion be moisture, so steam vapour amount increases and then hexafluorosilicic acid concentration reduces this vicious cycle and repeats, the efficient that distillates of hexafluorosilicic acid reduces, and causes the regenerated hydrofluoric acid concentration to reduce.On the other hand, if the Heating temperature of using distillation tank 1 is at the water vapour that is generated more than 130 ℃, even mix with 100 ℃ water vapour, temperature still can not become below 100 ℃, almost do not have the water vapour cohesion in the path midway, can roughly send into hexafluorosilicic acid gas to cooling tank 16 to greatest extent.
In addition, if the steam vapour amount of above-mentioned cleaning is many, then the concentration of distillate reduces, that is in cooling tank 16 coolings, hydrolysis takes place and the concentration of the hydrofluoric acid that generates reduces.Therefore, the water vapour speed sent into from water vapour generation trough 10 of following control.That is, water vapour generation speed in the early stage the stage since hexafluorosilicic acid gas distillate energetically progress, therefore be purpose to reduce steam vapour amount, 1 minute speed setting is the speed with respect to the amount of the total amount generation 1/10 of reaction volume, and interim ground pick up speed, reach about about 1 times~5 times stage with respect to reaction volume in distilled liquid measure total amount, stop the cleaning of water vapour.Thus, can carry out distillating of hexafluorosilicic acid gas gross effectively, can prevent that hydrofluoric acid concentration from reducing with minimal steam vapour amount.
The pure water water vapour of delivering to the hexafluorosilicic acid gas of cooling tower 16 and cleaning usefulness in flowing down, manage 17 during, the coil 18 that is cooled is cooled to 1 ℃~20 ℃ temperature range, more suitable be cooled to about 10 ℃ and liquefying.In addition, also can use refrigerant to replace circulating in the water coolant of cooling coil 18, and about being set in cooling temperature below 10 ℃.In this process of cooling, hexafluorosilicic acid is hydrolyzed shown in following reaction formula, and is decomposed into fluorochemical, water and silicon tetrafluoride (gas).

Therefore the boiling point of the silicon tetrafluoride that is generated is low to moderate-86 ℃, be vaporized state under this temperature, from being connected in the valve for preventing reverse-flow 14 of managing 17 upper end in above-mentioned via remover 46 discharge that is decomposed.
On the other hand, about 20 ℃ of the boiling point of the fluorochemical that is generated (HF) can not gasify under the cooling temperature of cooling tower 16, and owing to have rapidly water-soluble character, therefore dissolves in the pure water and becomes hydrofluoric acid, and temporarily be stored in bin 21.
The hydrofluoric acid that is stored in bin 21 is via open and close valve 22, pipeline 23, open and close valve 24 and be supplied to upgrading tower 25,26,27, and is adjusted into required hydrofluoric acid concentration.If the adjustment of relevant this hydrofluoric acid concentration of illustration, pure water with respect to 1900 liters, when the hydrofluoric acid (distillate) that hydrolysis generated by the hexafluorosilicic acid liquefaction of gases is 100 liters, generation concentration is 5% hydrofluoric acid, if make the moisture of 1000 liters of its evaporations at upgrading tower, then become the hydrofluoric acid of 100/ (900+100) * 100=10%, can be with 2 times of hydrofluoric acid concentration simmer down tos.That is, only, can concentrate hydrofluoric acid concentration arbitrarily by the vaporize water component.In addition, if for example hydrofluoric acid concentration that the user expected is a kind, then upgrading tower only is 1 and gets final product.
As above detailed description, the hydrofluoric acid generating apparatus of above-mentioned embodiment is to utilize with activated alumina (Al
2O
3) and silicon-dioxide (SiO
2) be adsorbent A as the pottery of principal constituent, the fluorine cpd or the mixture that will contain fluorochemical HF, the fluorochemical that is contained in for example draining, waste liquid, waste and the waste gas carries out adsorption treatment, and uses the adsorbent A after the adsorption treatment to make hydrofluoric acid regenerated device; Wherein, possess distillation tank 1 and cooling tank 16, distillation tank 1 adds solution B, micro-phosphoric acid and the crystallinity silicon-dioxide of adsorbent A, highly basic or strong acid, after fluorochemical is separated from adsorbent A, generate hexafluorosilicic acid once again, and making its gasification, cooling tank 16 will form hydrofluoric acid by the hexafluorosilicic acid liquefaction of gases and the hydrolysis that distillation procedure generated of water vapour.
According to this structure, distillation tank 1 makes adsorbent A and for example sodium hydroxide or the reaction of vitriolic solution B, make the fluorochemical and other impurity stripping that are adsorbed in adsorbent A, utilize fluorochemical to understand rapidly and the character of crystallinity silicon dioxde reaction, generate hexafluorosilicic acid (H once again
2SiF
6), hexafluorosilicic acid can gasify easily under about temperature more than 110 ℃ and distillate.Owing to the boiling point of hexafluorosilicic acid is about about 110 ℃ than water is high slightly, therefore easily and water sepn, and because boiling point is low, so heat energy is also little, so it is also cheap to distill cost.
And, according to the character of the easy hydrolysis of hexafluorosilicic acid, with after water vapour mixes, water vapour becomes the character of water when utilizing cooling through hexafluorosilicic acid gas that water vapour cleaned, hexafluorosilicic acid and water through liquefaction react and hydrolysis, thereby can easily obtain hydrofluoric acid from hexafluorosilicic acid.
