Description

Background
Tetramethylsilane, abbreviated as 4MS or TMS, is an important organic silicon material and has wide application in the fields of medicine, aerospace building, mechanical materials and the like. The ultra-high purity (mass fraction is greater than or equal to 99.99%) 4MS can be used as a precursor for Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) in the electronics industry for preparing high quality silicon carbide films.
Industrially, methyl chlorosilane is synthesized by a direct method under the catalysis of copper by methyl chloride and silicon powder. In the synthesis process of the direct method, the main product is dimethyl dichlorosilane, which accounts for more than 80 percent of the total amount, and simultaneously, a large amount of methyl chlorosilane mixture is generated, including methyl trichlorosilane, trimethyl chlorosilane, methyl dichlorosilane, low boiling point silane mixture (short for low boiling point substances, LBR), high boiling point silane mixture (short for high boiling point substances, HBR) and the like. The low boiling point substances contain about 40% of 4MS, and the method for enriching and purifying the low boiling point mixture constitutes the main preparation method of 4MS at present. The method has higher economic value, and if the purification method is adopted for enrichment and purification, the low-boiling-point substance dangerous waste discharge of enterprises can be effectively reduced, and the enterprise benefit can be increased. However, the method increases the difficulty of purifying the tetramethylsilane from the low-boiling-point substances because the impurities generated by synthesis are more and the isopentane (boiling point 30 ℃) which has the boiling point similar to that of the target product 4MS (26-28 ℃) exists.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention is, therefore, to be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
Throughout the specification and claims, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the term "comprise" or variations thereof such as "comprises" or "comprising", etc. will be understood to include the stated element or component without excluding other elements or components.
Industrially, methyl chlorosilane is synthesized by a direct method under the catalysis of copper by methyl chloride and silicon powder. In the synthesis process of the direct method, the main product is dimethyl dichlorosilane, which accounts for more than 80 percent of the total amount, and simultaneously, a large amount of methyl chlorosilane mixture is generated, including methyl trichlorosilane, trimethyl chlorosilane, methyl dichlorosilane, low boiling point silane mixture (short for low boiling point substances, LBR), high boiling point silane mixture (short for high boiling point substances, HBR) and the like. The low boiling point substances contain about 40% of 4MS, and the method for enriching and purifying the low boiling point mixture constitutes the main preparation method of 4MS at present. The method has higher economic value, and if the purification method is adopted for enrichment and purification, the low-boiling-point substance dangerous waste discharge of enterprises can be effectively reduced, and the enterprise benefit can be increased. However, the method has the advantages that the impurities generated by synthesis are more, and the isopentane with the boiling point (the boiling point is 30 ℃) which is similar to that of the target product 4MS (26-28 ℃) exists, so that the isopentane and the tetramethylsilane are difficult to separate by simple distillation or rectification treatment.
Thus, as shown in fig. 1, the purification method of tetramethylsilane according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of:
s1, pre-purifying the tetramethylsilane raw material to obtain a tetramethylsilane crude product.
It will be appreciated that the purification process of the present invention is useful for purifying a tetramethylsilane feed, which may be considered to include tetramethylsilane (target product) as well as isopentane (impurity), to give a relatively high purity tetramethylsilane. Of course, the tetramethylsilane feedstock may also include other impurities.
In one embodiment, the tetramethylsilane starting material is derived from a byproduct of the direct synthesis of methylchlorosilanes; specifically, the tetramethylsilane raw material is mainly a low boiling point silane mixture from direct synthesis of methylchlorosilane. Thus, it contains not only tetramethylsilane and isopentane, but also other impurities.
In one embodiment, the pre-purification treatment in step S1 is a rectification treatment. The method mainly plays a role in removing most of easily separated impurities in the tetramethylsilane raw material by a rectification treatment mode. The easily separable impurities can be considered to have a boiling point that differs significantly from that of tetramethylsilane and can be easily removed by distillation.
Specifically, the rectification treatment is single-tower rectification treatment or double-tower rectification treatment.
When the rectification treatment is single-tower rectification treatment, namely, the single-tower rectification tower is adopted to carry out rectification treatment on the tetramethylsilane raw material, wherein heavy component impurities are discharged from the bottom of the tower, light component impurities are discharged from the top of the tower, and substances collected in the middle of the tower are the tetramethylsilane crude product.
When the rectification treatment is double-tower rectification treatment, namely, the light component removing rectifying tower and the heavy component removing rectifying tower which are arranged in series are adopted to carry out rectification treatment on the tetramethylsilane raw material, wherein heavy component impurities are discharged from the bottom of the heavy component removing rectifying tower, light component impurities are discharged from the top of the light component removing rectifying tower, and substances collected from the top of the heavy component removing rectifying tower are crude tetramethylsilane products.
In other embodiments, the pre-purification treatment may also be a distillation treatment; or, the tetramethylsilane raw material is subjected to hydrolysis treatment and then is subjected to distillation or rectification treatment. So long as the most of the easily separable impurities in the tetramethylsilane raw material can be removed. In addition, this step is also intended to prevent other impurities from reacting with the catalyst, thereby affecting the conversion of isopentane reaction to isopentene.
S2, mixing the crude tetramethylsilane product with a catalyst, heating, and performing a catalytic reaction to convert isopentane in the crude tetramethylsilane product into isopentene, thereby obtaining an intermediate product.
In a specific embodiment, the catalyst is a platinum modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve or a platinum modified 5A molecular sieve. Isopentane enters a molecular sieve and then undergoes a catalytic reaction to be converted into isopentene. In addition, when the catalyst selects the modified molecular sieve, the pre-purification treatment can remove easily-separated impurities, so that the problems that the impurities and isopentane enter a molecular sieve bed together to block a molecular sieve pore channel or occupy an active catalytic point, so that isopentane cannot be reacted to be converted into isopentene or the reaction efficiency is too low are avoided. In other words, the pre-purification treatment may increase the molecular sieve catalytic efficiency. .
Specifically, before the catalyst is mixed with the crude tetramethylsilane product in the step S2, nitrogen is used for activating treatment at 500-600 ℃ and then hydrogen is used for activating treatment. Nitrogen is used for activating to replace impurities in a catalyst bed and a non-reaction system inside the catalyst, and hydrogen is used for activating to change active components of the catalyst into simple substance metal state, so that deep reduction of the metal components is ensured.
Specifically, the heating temperature in step S2 is 500-600 ℃.
Specifically, the step S2 further includes: and collecting the substances after the catalytic reaction by adopting a condensation treatment mode. The condensation treatment is used for collecting liquid materials and facilitating the treatment of the next rectification process with the temperature lower than the catalytic reaction temperature.
Wherein the temperature of the condensation treatment is 20-25 ℃. The condensation process may be a continuous process, starting from the beginning of the catalytic reaction and ending with the end of the catalytic reaction.
In a specific implementation process, the step S2 specifically includes:
and placing a catalyst in a fixed bed reactor, introducing the crude tetramethylsilane product into the fixed bed reactor, heating, and performing catalytic reaction to convert isopentane in the crude tetramethylsilane product into isopentene, thereby obtaining an intermediate product.
The reaction equation for the conversion of isopentane to isopentene is:
s3, rectifying the intermediate product to remove isopentene in the intermediate product, and obtaining purified tetramethylsilane.
Specifically, the rectification treatment is single-tower rectification treatment or double-tower rectification treatment.
When the rectification treatment is single-tower rectification treatment, namely, the intermediate product is rectified by adopting a single-tower rectification tower, wherein heavy component impurities are discharged from the bottom of the tower, light component impurities are discharged from the top of the tower, and substances collected in the middle of the tower are purified tetramethylsilane.
When the rectification treatment is double-tower rectification treatment, namely, rectification treatment is carried out on intermediate products by adopting a light-removal rectifying tower and a heavy-removal rectifying tower which are arranged in series, wherein heavy component impurities are discharged from the bottom of the heavy-removal rectifying tower, light component impurities are discharged from the top of the light-removal rectifying tower, and substances collected from the top of the heavy-removal rectifying tower are purified tetramethylsilane.
The purification method of tetramethylsilane according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific examples.

S3, rectifying the intermediate product by a double tower to obtain purified tetramethylsilane, wherein the isopentane content is 1% and the tetramethylsilane content is 96%.

As can be seen from the procedural data of comparative example 1: although the content of isopentane can be reduced by simple multiple rectification, the amount of reduction is limited. As can be seen from the comparison of the procedural data of example 1 with the procedural data of comparative example 1, the purity of tetramethylsilane in the purified tetramethylsilane of example 1 is higher than that of tetramethylsilane in the purified tetramethylsilane of comparative example 1, and the purification method of tetramethylsilane of the present invention can effectively remove isopentane in the tetramethylsilane raw material.
