Embodiment
Below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments the method for preparing boron triflouride gas of the present invention is elaborated:
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of method for preparing boron triflouride gas, wherein employed equipment comprises fluorine gas storage tank 1, fluorine gas storage tank 1 is communicated with fluorine gas purifier 3 by pipeline, fluorine gas purifier 3 is communicated with fluorine gas surge tank 4 by pipeline, fluorine gas surge tank 4 is communicated with reactor 5 by pipeline, reactor 5 adopts vertical, be provided with sieve plate with holes 8 in the bottom of reactor 5, reactor 5 is communicated with freezing trap 7 by pipeline, and fluorine gas purifier 3, fluorine gas surge tank 4, reactor 5 are communicated with vacuum unit 7 by pipeline respectively.
A plurality of sealed valves 2 are set on pipeline.
The method for preparing boron triflouride gas of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
(i) remove foreign gas in the fluorine gas
At first, to carry out cryogenic liquefaction in the feeding of the fluorine gas in the fluorine gas storage tank 1 purifier 3, the liquid nitrogen cold trap that utilizes purifier 3 outsides with the temperature maintenance of purifier 3 between-140~-195 ℃, this moment, fluorine gas was liquefied, when the volume of liquid reaches volumetrical 2/3rds height in the purifier 3, stop for fluorine gas.Start vacuum unit 7, Open valve, incondensible foreign gases such as high boiling point materials such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in the purifier 3 are found time, be evacuated to pressure in the purifier 3 always between-0.09~0.2Mpa.
Make liquid fluorine gasization by the temperature that improves purifier 3 again, so just can remove foreign gas in the fluorine gas, obtain fluorine gas purity more than 99%.
Detailed process is: when the liquid fluorine liquid level in the purifier 3 reaches 1/2nd height of purifier 3, close purifier 3 early gates, and stop at adding liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen cold trap, and liquid nitrogen cold trap is withdrawn from purifier 3.Then purifier 3 is heated up naturally, liquid fluorine begins gasification, and after the pressure in the purifier 3 began to raise, the valve before the unlatching surge tank 4 was put into surge tank 4 with the fluorine gas in the purifier 3.The pressure of surge tank 4 generally is controlled at-0.04~0Mpa, and pressure is higher than 0Mpa has relatively high expectations to surge tank and valve, wayward; Pressure is lower than-and 0.04Mpa is unfavorable for the synthetic of boron triflouride gas in the reactor 5.When the pressure of surge tank 4 is higher than 0Mpa, close the valve before the surge tank 4, purifier 3 is cooled off once more.Generally speaking, purifier 3 once cools off the amount of fluorine gas and the amount of 4 splendid attire fluorine gas of surge tank should match each other.

The structure of reactor 5 needs enough surfaces allows boric anhydride contact with fluorine gas, makes fluorine gas and boric anhydride complete reaction.For this reason, reactor 5 adopts vertical, is provided with sieve plate with holes 8 in the bottom of reactor 5, is layered on equably on the sieve plate 8 after boric anhydride is pulverized, and fluorine gas feeds from the bottom of sieve plate 8, and fluorine gas can fully be contacted with boric anhydride, and reaction is intermittently carried out.Can electricity consumption in reactor 5 bottoms, mode such as water-bath carries out preheating to the boric anhydride in the reactor 5.
Detailed process is: add an amount of boric anhydride in reactor 5, the sealing leak hunting qualified after, reactor is preheating to about 80 ℃, stop the heating, reactor is evacuated to-0.1Mpa, valve before the slow unlatching reactor 5, certain because of reactor volume, the amount that at every turn charges into fluorine gas is controlled according to reactor pressure, generally be controlled at-0.01~0.03Mpa, off-response device early gate after pressure reaches, at this moment the pressure of reactor can descend gradually, and temperature can raise gradually.When reactor pressure no longer changes, think that fluorine gas reacts completely, need the gas in the reactor is put into freezing trap.Productive rate was better when reactor temperature range was controlled at 100~160 ℃.After charging into fluorine gas, when reactor pressure and temperature no longer change, think that boric anhydride reacts completely, can finish reaction.
Generally speaking, the amount that at every turn adds boric anhydride should be complementary in proportion with the fluorine gas of each purification.Because exothermic heat of reaction, reactor can only pass through naturally cooling, comes the controlling reactor temperature so need to control the amount and the reacting space that feed fluorine gas in reaction process.

3) the thick product of gas enters freezing trap 6 from reactor 5, when the pressure in the reactor 5 no longer changes, thinks that freezing capture process finishes.By dosing temperature maintenance that liquid nitrogen keeps freezing trap 6 between-140~-195 ℃, make boron triflouride gas liquefaction.After treating boron triflouride gas liquefaction, close the valve before the freezing capture 6, start vacuum unit 7, open the valve before freezing capture 6 upper valve and the vacuum unit 7, incondensible foreign gases in the purifier 3 such as high boiling point materials such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are found time, keep make freezing trap pressure maintain-0.09~0.2Mpa between.The time visual response of cryogenic liquefaction carries out process and decides.
Then, stop at adding liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen cold trap, and liquid nitrogen cold trap is withdrawn from freezing trap, freezing trap is heated up naturally, boron trifluoride liquid begins gasification.After the pressure of freezing trap begins to raise, open cylinder valve, boron triflouride gas is filled into steel cylinder.The purity of boron triflouride gas can reach more than 99.9%.
