2. Description of the Related Art In a process of manufacturing a silicon wafer or the like in a semiconductor manufacturing plant, in a device up to a 64 Mbit DRAM, contaminants such as particles and metal impurities in a clean room cause defects. Or through a ULPA filter. However, 64Mbit DRAM
In the above devices, ppb level gaseous contaminants in the clean room cause a reduction in product yield. It is known that these gaseous pollutants are caused by intrusion from outside air, outgas from clean room components, chemicals in the process, and the like.

[0003] When the concentration of these gaseous pollutants is reduced to the order of ppb or less, a method of removing the pollutants by using a chemical filter in a clean room is adopted. The chemical filter removes gaseous pollutants by passing air in a clean room or a device through a filter made of an adsorbent such as activated carbon. Gaseous pollutants are classified into acids, alkalis, and organic substances.Generally, chemical filters use appropriate adsorbents that adsorb gas and reactants that absorb gas in order to efficiently remove these gaseous pollutants. What is selected and supported is used.

For example, amines are contained in the air at several tens of ppb and enter the clean room when taking in outside air. It is also known that basic gas pollutants such as amines are generated from building materials and process chemicals in clean rooms. When these basic gas contaminants are present in the clean room at 10 to 20 ppb,
An abnormal shape of the photoresistance is caused (T-top phenomenon), and a salt is formed by reacting with the acid gas, and clouding is caused on the optical parts of the process apparatus and the surface of the silicone wafer. For this reason, use a chemical filter carrying an acidic substance as a reactant that absorbs gas,
It removes basic gas pollutants such as amines. On the other hand, if acidic gas contaminants are present in the clean room, the glass fibers of the dust filter are corroded, thereby promoting the generation of boron and causing metal corrosion such as IC. As a countermeasure against such acidic gas pollutants, a chemical filter supporting a basic substance is used as a reactant for absorbing gas to remove acidic gas pollutants.

[0005] Conventionally, there is a chemical filter in which granular activated carbon is used as a reactant for absorbing gas, and the granular activated carbon is filled in a filter case. However, this chemical filter has a large pressure loss. Further, granular activated carbon has a drawback such as poor removal efficiency because the contact area with the gas to be treated is small. Further, there is a honeycomb structure chemical filter in which a nonwoven fabric of activated carbon fibers is corrugated, but there is a problem that pressure loss is large and manufacturing cost is high. In a clean room, the air in the space is circulated through HEPA filters, ULPA filters, chemical filters, etc. in order to maintain a high degree of cleaning, so when the pressure loss of these filters is large, the capacity of the blower blower increases,
Problems such as an increase in blast energy will occur.

For this reason, a powdered activated carbon-containing organic fiber base paper formed from a mixture of powdered activated carbon and organic fibers is formed into a honeycomb structure because of its low pressure loss and large contact area. There is also proposed a chemical filter obtained by impregnating an aqueous solution in which an inorganic acid or a metal salt capable of neutralizing gaseous pollutants is dissolved and carrying a gas-reactive material such as the inorganic acid or a metal salt on activated carbon. . This chemical filter is advantageous in that it has a lower density and lower pressure loss than a chemical filter in which granular activated carbon is filled in a filter case.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional honeycomb structured chemical filter, the amount of activated carbon carried cannot be increased because a mixture of organic fibers and activated carbon is formed in the paper forming process. At most, the amount of activated carbon per unit area of paper is about 40 g / m 2 , and the water absorption is about 80 g / m 2 . Therefore, when the gaseous reactant is impregnated and carried, the amount of the gaseous reactant carried does not increase, and it is hard to say that the gaseous pollutant removal performance and the life are sufficiently satisfactory.

It is preferable in that a fiber having a uniform and increased inter-fiber space can be obtained. If the blending amount of the fibers is less than 0.5% by weight, a clean base paper can be obtained, but a large amount of water is required, the cost is increased, and the desired strength is hardly obtained.
On the other hand, if it exceeds 3% by weight, it is likely to be a defective product such as a non-uniform thickness and a coarse / dense shape, and it is difficult to obtain a fiber having an increased inter-fiber void. Next, the slurry is made into a fiber base paper (nonwoven fabric) by a known papermaking method using a papermaking machine such as a round mesh papermaking machine. In order to make the inter-fiber porosity of the fiber base paper 80 to 95%, in particular, it can be easily obtained by setting the blending amount of the organic binder to the fibers within the above range.

What is to be corrugated is a corrugated material passing between a pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls. An adhesive is applied to the ridges of the corrugated material, and a flat material that has not been corrugated is overlapped, and bonding is performed at a portion where the ridges of the corrugated material come into contact with the flat material. This bonding is performed alternately between a plurality of corrugated objects and a plurality of flat objects to be laminated, whereby a honeycomb structure having a predetermined aperture ratio in the ventilation direction can be formed. The adhesive used for bonding is not particularly limited as long as it has appropriate workability and adhesiveness, but it is not limited to phenolic resin, epoxy resin,
Organic adhesives such as acrylic resins, vinyl acetate resins and copolymers thereof, and inorganic adhesives such as silica sol and alumina sol can be used. When using a reactant that absorbs a basic gas or an acidic gas as a gas reactant described below,
The adhesive is preferably at least one selected from organic adhesives and inorganic adhesives that do not react with the gas reactant that absorbs the basic gas or the acidic gas. Specifically, a phenolic resin, an epoxy resin The use of one or more organic adhesives selected from acrylic resins and their copolymers or one or more inorganic adhesives selected from silica sol and alumina sol makes it difficult for hydrolysis reaction to occur with the gas reactant. It is preferred in that respect. A particularly preferred adhesive is an acrylic copolymer resin. Further, when the acrylic copolymer resin and the inorganic adhesive are used in combination, the acid resistance is further improved. The cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb structure is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a circular shape and a square shape.

Then, a suspension containing this sulfuric acid-supported activated carbon and a vinylidene chloride-based binder was applied to the same E glass fiber base paper obtained in Example 1 at the same application amount as in Example 1, dried, and dried at 110 ° C. Activated carbon coated glass fiber base paper was prepared. A flat honeycomb structure having the same shape was obtained from the activated carbon-coated glass fiber base paper in the same manner as in Example 1, and a chemical filter for removing ammonia as an alkaline contaminant was produced.
At this time, the supported amount of sulfuric acid was 8 kg / m 3 . As described above, the supporting amount of sulfuric acid is smaller than that in Example 1 in the method of applying activated carbon to which sulfuric acid is previously impregnated to the E glass fiber base paper as in Comparative Example 4 by using a suspension (slurry). This is because, during the preparation, sulfuric acid flows out into the suspension and the amount of supported sulfuric acid decreases. The chemical filter was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1. The results are shown in FIG. As a result, although the pressure loss was almost the same as in Example 1, the ammonia removal rate after 60 minutes had elapsed was about 65%, which was inferior.

According to the present invention, when, for example, activated carbon is supported on a fiber base paper having a porosity between fibers of 80 to 95%, a high proportion of activated carbon is filled so as to close the voids between the fibers, and the activated carbon is highly loaded. Amount of fiber base paper was obtained, and then formed into a corrugated honeycomb structure, and then the gaseous reactant was carried on the honeycomb structure.
The ability to remove gaseous contaminants can be significantly improved. Further, since the adsorption filter medium is a corrugated honeycomb structure, the pressure loss is small, and the life is further improved.
