Description

Production process of optical fiber grade high-purity germanium tetrachloride
One, the technical field
The invention relates to a method for purifying a high-purity compound, in particular to a method for purifying high-purity germanium tetrachloride for producing optical fibers.
Second, background Art
The optical fiber is the basis of optical communication science and technology and industry, high-purity germanium tetrachloride is an indispensable key raw material of high-grade quartz optical fiber, and the germanium tetrachloride is used as a main doping agent in the quartz optical fiber and is used for improving the refractive index of the optical fiber, reducing the optical loss and further improving the transmission distance of the optical fiber. The distribution and content of germanium in the fiber determines the key performance index of the fiber, so the quality of the germanium directly affects the performance and quality of the fiber.
According to DE-AS No.1263730, germanium tetrachloride can be purified from hydrogen chloride. This process can remove arsenic and other similar impurities. Another german patent DE-asno.1948911 reports purification with anhydrous chlorine at a temperature in the range of-30 ℃ to 30 ℃, but this method does not remove hydrogen-containing impurities. According to us patent 4,842,839, it is reported that hydrogen atoms in germanium tetrachloride are chlorinated by chlorine gas into hydrogen chloride at high temperatures of 1000 c, thereby removing hydrogen-containing impurities. Another us patent 6,110,258 reports the use of zeolites to remove water molecules from gases, including germanium tetrachloride, but the effect is not as high as 6N. In combination with the above patents, germanium tetrachloride is treated either with hydrogen chloride gas alone or with chlorine gas alone or at extremely high temperatures, all under certain conditions to remove certain impurities.
Third, the invention
The invention aims to provide a method for purifying high-purity germanium tetrachloride, which can remove hydrogen-containing impurities and metal impurities on Ge-OH bonds and C-H bonds at one time by utilizing the characteristics of the germanium tetrachloride aiming at the defects in the prior art so as to obtain qualified products.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a production process of optical fiber grade high-purity germanium tetrachloride is characterized by comprising the following steps:
1. the rectifying device is in an oxygen-free and water-free state;
2. under the protection of inert gas, adding a catalyst and a crude product of germanium tetrachloride, wherein the catalyst accounts for 1-10% (weight ratio);
3. introducing halide gas required by the reaction;
4. refluxing and distilling by using an illumination reaction kettle or using a photoinitiator;
5. the product is transferred under the protection of inert gas.
Wherein in step 4, refluxing at 50-90 deg.C for 2-8 hr, distilling at 80-100 deg.C, decomposing at a temperature above 300 deg.C, and collecting distillate at a low temperature below 20 deg.C.
In step 2, the catalyst is an aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, or magnesium containing compound.
Germanium tetrachloride is colorless oily liquid, is fuming in air, can be immediately decomposed when meeting water, and has stronger corrosion effect on metals. Aiming at the characteristic, the patent provides a simple purification method. The hydrogen-containing impurities and metal impurities on Ge-OH bonds and C-H bonds can be removed at one time by adding the mixed gas of hydrogen chloride and chlorine into a set of device and using illumination or adding a photoinitiator, so that a qualified product is obtained.
Because germanium tetrachloride can be immediately decomposed when it is in contact with water, when the volume fraction of water contained is greater than 1 × 10-2At mol/L, it will be at 3400cm-1An absorption peak appears in the vicinity. This is due to the following reaction: (when the volume fraction of water is less than 1X 10-2When mol/L); (n-2, 3) (when the volume fraction of water is more than 1X 10)-2At mol/L). In order to obtain high-purity germanium tetrachloride, the system contacted with the germanium tetrachloride must be ensured to be dry, and the method is to vacuumize the whole device under the heating condition and then to obtain the germanium tetrachlorideInert gas is flushed. In order to ensure that the system is dry, the charging and discharging are carried out under the protection of inert gas. The inert gas here may beIs nitrogen or argon. Chlorine is irradiated by light or a photoinitiator is added to generate chlorine free radicals, so that generated hydrogen ions are chlorinated. The hydrogen chloride generated by the chlorination reaction and the added hydrogen chloride gas can convert the hydroxide radical-containing compound into chloride. The light source can be an iodine tungsten lamp or a bromine tungsten lamp, and can irradiate for a long time or intermittently. Refluxing for 2-8 hr at 50-90 deg.c. The refluxed liquid is redistilled, chlorine and hydrogen chloride are continuously introduced during the redistillation, and the gas phase is condensed after high-temperature treatment. The high temperature treatment is to heat the quartz tube to 300-1000 deg.c with resistance wire and to make the distilled gas stay inside the quartz tube for 5 sec-1 min. The condensation temperature is-10 ℃ to 20 ℃. The chloride gas contained in the distillate was evacuated by a vacuum pump at low temperature and replaced with an inert gas. The low temperature is-50 deg.C to-5 deg.C. The required vacuum is 760mmHg to 700 mmHg. The product with the purity of more than 6N can be obtained by the treatment of the steps.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable advantages: the process is simple, and several steps are completed in one set of equipment, so that the problem of product quality reduction caused by solution transfer in the treatment process is avoided. This is particularly important for high purity germanium tetrachloride solutions because it decomposes very readily in the presence of water, even a small amount of moisture in the air can interfere with its use in optical fibers.
