Definitions

  • the barium-aluminium (about 50% Ba) alloy is mixed with, preferably, 15% by weight of powdered tin to produce getters.
  • Said getters are heated by means of high frequency electrical induction to about 600°C for one minute during the exhaust process.
  • BaSn 2 may be produced, or liberated barium is produced, from the barium-aluminium alloy by reaction of aluminium and tin.
  • a mixed getter material of barium-aluminium alloy and tin which is stable at a normal temperature is activated and absorb gases at a normal temperature. Nevertheless there is a heating process involved which requires temperatures of several hundreds of degrees centigrade. Furthermore an uncontrolled chemical reaction is taking place.
  • Lithium organic resins have been proposed for the sorption of gas impurities from impure gas streams, but they are used for the purification of nitrogen gas and not for its sorption, see US-A-4,603,148 and US-A-4,604,270.
  • non-evaporated getters can be introduced into the device in a pre-activated form, that is when they have already been heated to a high temperature of about 600°C, they have already been subjected to many manufacturing processes such as grinding to fixed particle size, mixing with other materials, compaction or forming into pellets.
  • a further object of the present invention to provide a process for the sorption of unwanted gas in a vessel which does not require temperatures of greater than 150°C.
  • Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for the sorption of nitrogen gas in a vessel made of organic plastic or which contains organic plastic.
  • the process of the present invention provides for the sorption of residual gas in a vessel by means of a non-evaporated barium getter. It comprises the steps of reducing an alloy of Ba 1-x A x Li 4-y B y , preferably to a particle size of less than 5mm, under vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere and then placing the reduced alloy in the vessel. Upon exposing the reduced alloy to the residual gas in the vessel at a temperature of less than 150°C the gas is sorbed.
  • the metal A is a metal chosen from the group consisting of elements of Group IIa of the periodic table of elements, excluding barium.
  • the metal B is chosen from the group consisting of elements of Group IIIa of the periodic table of elements and magnesium.
  • the alloys of the present invention do not have to be activated, that is they are already capable of sorbing gases at room temperature and furthermore they do not have to be evaporated to produce a film of active material, such as barium before they sorb gas. Nevertheless they can be activated by heating to a temperature of not greater than 150°C. This could be between 50°C and 150°C for at least 10 minutes and then reducing the temperature to less than 50°C.
  • the alloys can be described by the general formula Ba 1-x A x Li 4-y B y , where A is a metal chosen from the group consisting of elements of Group IIa of the periodic table of elements, excluding barium. The numbering of the Groups of elements is that adopted by The American Chemical Society.
  • A can be calcium, magnesium and strontium but is preferably calcium as calcium is only slightly less reactive than barium. Magnesium and strontium are less preferred for their lower reactivity.
  • the value of x may be as low as zero such that there is no metal of Group IIa present (except the barium). On the other hand it may be as high as 0.8. Above about 0.8 the alloy begins to lose its ability to react at room temperature with the residual gas at a sufficiently high sorption speed.
  • the element B is any metal chosen from the group consisting of elements Group IIIa of the periodic table of elements and magnesium. All members of Group IIIa can be adopted, for instance boron, but aluminium is preferred as it is readily available, it has a relatively high melting point and is extremely cheap, while gallium is liquid near ambient temperatures. Indium has a low melting point and is more expensive then aluminium. Tl is highly toxic. Furthermore 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 3.5.
  • These compounds can be easily comminuted or reduced to a particulate form without any difficulty. For instance they can be reduced to a particle size of less than 5 mm in diameter, and preferably less than 1 mm, by known techniques under a vacuum or inert atmosphere and then transferred to the vessel containing the unwanted gas which is desired to be removed. This is accomplished by placing the reduced alloy in the vessel and exposing the reduced alloy to the residual gas at room temperature.
  • the reduced alloy can be transferred to the vessel immediately but preferably takes place by means of an intermediate vessel in which the alloy is stored under vacuum or an inert atmosphere until it is required.
  • FIG. 1 is a drawing showing in a schematic form an apparatus 100 for measuring the sorptive properties of Ba 1-x A x Li 4-y B y alloys useful in the present invention.
  • a vacuum pumping system 102 is connected by means of a first valve 104 to a dosing volume 106.
  • dosing volume 106 Connected with dosing volume 106 there is a series of second valves 110, 110', 110'' for the inlet of test gases from a series of test gas reservoirs 112, 112', 112'', containing N2, artificial air, and CO respectively, and a pressure measuring gauge 114.

  • the pressure was noted on pressure gauge 114, and was arranged to be such that the pressure was about 0.4-1.0 mbar after opening valve 116 to introduce a dose of test gas to the sample 120.
