Description

本開示は、ゼオライトを用いてジメチルアミンを除去するトリメチルアミンの精製方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a method for purifying trimethylamine, which removes dimethylamine using zeolite.

有機アミンの1つであるトリメチルアミンの粗体中には、不純物として1000体積ppm程度のジメチルアミンが含まれていることがある。トリメチルアミンとジメチルアミンは蒸気圧が近く、共沸となるため、蒸留ではジメチルアミンの濃度を400〜500体積ppm程度までしか低減することができない。 The crude product of trimethylamine, which is one of the organic amines, may contain about 1000 volume ppm of dimethylamine as an impurity. Since trimethylamine and dimethylamine have similar vapor pressures and are azeotropic, the concentration of dimethylamine can be reduced only to about 400 to 500 by volume ppm by distillation.

近年、有機アミンの粗体中に含まれる不純物を除去する方法として、合成ゼオライトを用いる方法が提案されている。
特許文献1では、平均直径が0.3nm又は0.4nmの細孔を有する合成ゼオライトを用いて、モノメチルアミンに含まれる低沸点不純物を除去する精製装置が開示されている。除去する低沸点不純物としては、水素、酸素、窒素、一酸化炭素、二酸化炭素及びメタンが挙げられている。更に特許文献1では、平均直径が0.5nmの細孔を有する合成ゼオライトを用いて、水分及び炭化水素を吸着することが開示されている。
In recent years, a method using synthetic zeolite has been proposed as a method for removing impurities contained in a crude organic amine.
Patent Document 1 discloses a purification apparatus for removing low boiling point impurities contained in monomethylamine by using a synthetic zeolite having pores having an average diameter of 0.3 nm or 0.4 nm. Examples of low boiling point impurities to be removed include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane. Further, Patent Document 1 discloses that a synthetic zeolite having pores having an average diameter of 0.5 nm is used to adsorb water and hydrocarbons.

特許文献2では、3A又は4Aのゼオライトを用いてトリメチルアミン含有ガス中の水及びアンモニアを除去し、5Aのゼオライトを用いてモノメチルアミン及び窒素を除去する、トリメチルアミンの精製方法が開示されている。 Patent Document 2 discloses a method for purifying trimethylamine, which removes water and ammonia in a trimethylamine-containing gas using a 3A or 4A zeolite, and removes monomethylamine and nitrogen using a 5A zeolite.

特開2016−150926号公報(特許第6441116号公報)Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-150926 (Patent No. 6441116) 米国特許第8,664,446号明細書U.S. Pat. No. 8,664,446

しかしながら、これまでは、不純物としてジメチルアミンを含むトリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミンを400体積ppm以下に低減する方法はなかった。なお特許文献2では、合成ゼオライトを用いてモノメチルアミンを除去する方法が開示されているが、合成ゼオライトを用いてジメチルアミンが除去されることは記載されておらず、従って、ジメチルアミンが除去されることはこれまで知られていない。 However, until now, there has been no method for reducing dimethylamine in trimethylamine containing dimethylamine as an impurity to 400 parts by volume or less. Note that Patent Document 2 discloses a method for removing monomethylamine using synthetic zeolite, but does not describe that dimethylamine is removed using synthetic zeolite, and therefore dimethylamine is removed. It has never been known.

本開示は、上記課題に鑑み、粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミン濃度を低減させる新規な方法を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a novel method for reducing the concentration of dimethylamine in crude trimethylamine.

本発明者らは、鋭意検討の結果、ジメチルアミンを含む粗トリメチルアミンを直径0.2〜0.6nmの細孔を有するゼオライトに接触させることにより、ジメチルアミン濃度を低減させることができることを見出し、本開示を完成させるに至った。 As a result of diligent studies, the present inventors have found that the dimethylamine concentration can be reduced by contacting crude trimethylamine containing dimethylamine with a zeolite having pores having a diameter of 0.2 to 0.6 nm. This disclosure has been completed.

具体的には、本開示のトリメチルアミンの精製方法は、少なくともジメチルアミンを含む粗トリメチルアミンを直径0.2〜0.6nmの細孔を有するゼオライトに接触させ、上記粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミン濃度を上記ゼオライト接触前よりも低減させることを特徴とする。
本開示のトリメチルアミンの精製方法によれば、蒸留のようにエネルギーを消費する必要がなく、粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミンを除去することができる。
Specifically, in the method for purifying trimethylamine of the present disclosure, crude trimethylamine containing at least dimethylamine is brought into contact with a zeolite having pores having a diameter of 0.2 to 0.6 nm, and the concentration of dimethylamine in the crude trimethylamine is adjusted as described above. It is characterized in that the amount is reduced as compared with that before the zeolite contact.
According to the method for purifying trimethylamine of the present disclosure, it is possible to remove dimethylamine in crude trimethylamine without consuming energy as in distillation.

本開示のトリメチルアミンの精製方法により、蒸留のようにエネルギーを消費することなく粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミンを除去することができ、半導体製造工程においても使用することが可能な、極めて純度が高いトリメチルアミンを供給することができる。 According to the method for purifying trimethylamine of the present disclosure, dimethylamine in crude trimethylamine can be removed without consuming energy as in distillation, and an extremely high-purity trimethylamine that can be used in a semiconductor manufacturing process can be obtained. Can be supplied.

以下、本開示について詳細に説明するが、以下に記載する構成要件の説明は本開示の実施形態の一例であり、これらの具体的内容に限定はされない。その要旨の範囲内で種々変形して実施することができる。 Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail, but the description of the constituent requirements described below is an example of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the specific contents thereof are not limited. It can be modified in various ways within the scope of the gist.

本開示のトリメチルアミンの精製方法は、少なくともジメチルアミンを含む粗トリメチルアミンを直径0.2〜0.6nmの細孔を有するゼオライトに接触させ、上記粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミン濃度を上記ゼオライト接触前よりも低減させることを特徴とする。 In the method for purifying trimethylamine of the present disclosure, crude trimethylamine containing at least dimethylamine is brought into contact with a zeolite having pores having a diameter of 0.2 to 0.6 nm, and the concentration of dimethylamine in the crude trimethylamine is higher than that before contact with the zeolite. It is characterized by reducing.

本開示の精製方法で用いるゼオライトは、モレキュラーシーブ(分子篩)とも呼ばれる結晶性アルミノケイ酸塩であり、合成ゼオライト、人工ゼオライト、天然ゼオライトに分類される。本開示の精製方法においては、直径0.2〜0.6nm、又は、直径3〜5Åの細孔を有するゼオライトであれば、合成ゼオライト、人工ゼオライト、天然ゼオライトのいずれも用い得るが、純度が高い合成ゼオライトを用いることが好ましい。ゼオライトの細孔の直径が0.2nm未満であるか、0.6nmを超えると、粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミン濃度の低減効果が小さくなる。 Zeolites used in the purification method of the present disclosure are crystalline aluminosilicates, also called molecular sieves, and are classified into synthetic zeolites, artificial zeolites, and natural zeolites. In the purification method of the present disclosure, any of synthetic zeolite, artificial zeolite, and natural zeolite can be used as long as it is a zeolite having pores having a diameter of 0.2 to 0.6 nm or a diameter of 3 to 5 Å, but the purity is high. It is preferable to use a high synthetic zeolite. When the diameter of the pores of the zeolite is less than 0.2 nm or exceeds 0.6 nm, the effect of reducing the concentration of dimethylamine in crude trimethylamine becomes small.

直径0.2〜0.6nmの細孔を有する合成ゼオライトとしては、3A型、4A型又は5A型の合成ゼオライトが好適である。なお、3A型、4A型又は5A型の合成ゼオライトにおける「A」とは、Å(オングストローム)のことを表す。
3A型の合成ゼオライトは、細孔径が0.3nmであり、直径が0.3nmまでの分子を通過させることができる。4A型の合成ゼオライトの細孔径は0.35nmであるが、通常の操作温度において、空洞内に入ってくる分子の伸縮と運動エネルギーのため、直径0.4nmまでの分子を通過させることができる。また、5A型の合成ゼオライトについても、それの細孔径は0.42nmであるが、同様の理由により、直径が0.5nmまでの分子を通過させることができる。
ここで、3A型、4A型又は5A型の合成ゼオライトの、通過できる分子の直径(吸着口径)の範囲を以下、明記する。
3A型 0.3nm以下
4A型 0.3nmを超えて、0.4nm以下
5A型 0.4nmを超えて、0.5nm以下
As the synthetic zeolite having pores having a diameter of 0.2 to 0.6 nm, 3A type, 4A type or 5A type synthetic zeolite is suitable. In addition, "A" in 3A type, 4A type or 5A type synthetic zeolite represents Å (angstrom).
The 3A type synthetic zeolite has a pore diameter of 0.3 nm and can pass molecules up to a diameter of 0.3 nm. The pore size of 4A type synthetic zeolite is 0.35 nm, but at normal operating temperature, molecules up to 0.4 nm in diameter can pass through due to the expansion and contraction and kinetic energy of the molecules entering the cavity. .. Further, the pore diameter of the 5A type synthetic zeolite is 0.42 nm, but for the same reason, molecules having a diameter of up to 0.5 nm can be passed through.
Here, the range of the diameter (adsorption diameter) of the molecules that can pass through the synthetic zeolite of 3A type, 4A type or 5A type will be specified below.
3A type 0.3nm or less 4A type more than 0.3nm, 0.4nm or less 5A type more than 0.4nm, 0.5nm or less

3A型、4A型、5A型の合成ゼオライトとしては、具体的には、ユニオン昭和社製のモレキュラーシーブ3A、モレキュラーシーブ4A、モレキュラーシーブ5A;富士フイルム和光純薬社製のモレキュラーシーブス3A、モレキュラーシーブス4A、モレキュラーシーブス5A等を用い得る。
本開示の精製方法で用いるゼオライトの形状は特に限定されず、ビーズ状、ペレット状、パウダー状等のいずれでもよいが、ビーズ状、ペレット状のものが化学工業プラントで用い易く好ましい。
Specific examples of the 3A, 4A, and 5A synthetic zeolites are Molecular Sieves 3A, Molecular Sieves 4A, and Molecular Sieves 5A manufactured by Union Showa; Molecular Sieves 3A and Molecular Sieves manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. 4A, molecular sieves 5A and the like can be used.
The shape of the zeolite used in the purification method of the present disclosure is not particularly limited and may be bead-shaped, pellet-shaped, powder-shaped or the like, but bead-shaped or pellet-shaped one is preferable because it is easy to use in a chemical industry plant.

本開示の精製方法で用いるゼオライトは、購入したものをそのまま用いることもできるが、使用する前に乾燥させることが好ましい。乾燥条件としては、1kPa以下、150℃以上で30分以上が好ましく、1kPa以下、150〜200℃、30〜60分がより好ましい。 As the zeolite used in the purification method of the present disclosure, the purchased zeolite can be used as it is, but it is preferable to dry it before use. The drying conditions are preferably 1 kPa or less, 150 ° C. or higher for 30 minutes or longer, and more preferably 1 kPa or lower, 150 to 200 ° C., 30 to 60 minutes.

粗トリメチルアミンをゼオライトに接触させる方法は特に限定されず、粗トリメチルアミンを貯留する容器等にゼオライトを添加して放置する方法(静置法)、ゼオライトをカラムや充填塔等に充填し、粗トリメチルアミンをカラムや充填塔に流通させてゼオライトに流通接触させる方法(カラム法)等が挙げられる。ジメチルアミンを除去する効果が高いこと、短時間で精製が行える点でカラム法が好ましい。しかしながら、粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミンの濃度が高い場合は、カラム法を行う前に静置法を行い、ジメチルアミンの濃度を一定まで低減してからカラム法を行う等、静置法とカラム法とを組み合わせて行うこともできる。 The method of bringing the crude trimethylamine into contact with the zeolite is not particularly limited, and a method of adding the zeolite to a container or the like for storing the crude trimethylamine and leaving it to stand (standing method), or a method of filling the column or a packed bed with the zeolite to prepare the crude trimethylamine. Examples thereof include a method of circulating the zeolite through a column or a packed bed and bringing it into contact with the zeolite (column method). The column method is preferable because it has a high effect of removing dimethylamine and can be purified in a short time. However, when the concentration of dimethylamine in the crude trimethylamine is high, the static method and the column method are performed, for example, the static method is performed before the column method, the concentration of dimethylamine is reduced to a certain level, and then the column method is performed. It can also be done in combination with.

粗トリメチルアミンをゼオライトに流通接触させる温度及び圧力条件は、20〜30℃、大気圧以上が好ましい。圧力条件は、150〜200kPaがより好ましい。
粗トリメチルアミンをゼオライトに流通接触させる時間は、50〜200秒が好ましい。50秒未満であると、ジメチルアミンが十分除去されない場合がある。一方、200秒を超えて流通接触させても、ジメチルアミンを除去する効果が上がらない場合がある。粗トリメチルアミンをゼオライトに流通接触させる時間は、100〜150秒がより好ましい。
The temperature and pressure conditions under which the crude trimethylamine is brought into flow contact with the zeolite are preferably 20 to 30 ° C. and above atmospheric pressure. The pressure condition is more preferably 150 to 200 kPa.
The time for the crude trimethylamine to be in circulation contact with the zeolite is preferably 50 to 200 seconds. If it is less than 50 seconds, dimethylamine may not be sufficiently removed. On the other hand, the effect of removing dimethylamine may not be improved even if the distribution contact is performed for more than 200 seconds. The time for the crude trimethylamine to be in circulation contact with the zeolite is more preferably 100 to 150 seconds.

本開示の精製方法において、好ましい態様は、気体状態の粗トリメチルアミンを、20〜30℃、大気圧以上の条件下で、ゼオライトに100秒以上流通接触させることである。 In the purification method of the present disclosure, a preferred embodiment is to bring the crude trimethylamine in a gaseous state into flow contact with the zeolite for 100 seconds or longer under the conditions of 20 to 30 ° C. and atmospheric pressure or higher.

粗トリメチルアミンをゼオライトに流通接触させる場合、粗トリメチルアミンの線速度は、0.001〜0.1m/secが好ましい。より好ましくは0.01〜0.1m/secである。 When crude trimethylamine is brought into flow contact with zeolite, the linear velocity of crude trimethylamine is preferably 0.001 to 0.1 m / sec. More preferably, it is 0.01 to 0.1 m / sec.

本開示の精製方法で精製する対象となる粗トリメチルアミンは、少なくともジメチルアミンを不純物として含むトリメチルアミンである。粗トリメチルアミンは、トリメチルアミンを従来公知の方法(例えば、特開昭58−049340号公報に記載の方法等)で合成して得られたものであってもよいし、購入したものであってもよく、入手方法は特に限定されない。粗トリメチルアミンは、ジメチルアミン以外の他の不純物を含んでいてもよく、他の不純物としては、モノメチルアミン、水素、酸素、窒素、一酸化炭素、二酸化炭素、メタン、アンモニア、水等が挙げられる。 The crude trimethylamine to be purified by the purification method of the present disclosure is trimethylamine containing at least dimethylamine as an impurity. The crude trimethylamine may be obtained by synthesizing trimethylamine by a conventionally known method (for example, the method described in JP-A-58-049340), or may be purchased. , The acquisition method is not particularly limited. Crude trimethylamine may contain impurities other than dimethylamine, and examples of other impurities include monomethylamine, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, water and the like.

It is conceivable to perform it in combination with the column method.

粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミンは不安定で、気相中の濃度は安定しない。
好ましい態様において、本開示の精製方法で精製する粗トリメチルアミンは液体でも気体でもよいが、常温常圧で精製が行えることから気体が好ましい。
Dimethylamine in crude trimethylamine is unstable and its concentration in the gas phase is not stable.
In a preferred embodiment, the crude trimethylamine purified by the purification method of the present disclosure may be a liquid or a gas, but a gas is preferable because it can be purified at normal temperature and pressure.

本開示の精製方法では、粗トリメチルアミン中のジメチルアミン濃度を400体積ppm以下に低減することが好ましい。より好ましくは300体積ppm以下である。本開示の精製方法を用いれば、上述のような純度が高いトリメチルアミンを得ることができる。このような純度が高いトリメチルアミンは、シリコン酸化物のドライエッチング等の用途に好適に用いられる。 In the purification method of the present disclosure, it is preferable to reduce the concentration of dimethylamine in crude trimethylamine to 400 parts by volume or less. More preferably, it is 300 volume ppm or less. By using the purification method of the present disclosure, trimethylamine having high purity as described above can be obtained. Such high-purity trimethylamine is suitably used for applications such as dry etching of silicon oxide.

以下、本開示の実施形態をより具体的に開示した実施例を示す。なお、本開示はこれらの実施例のみに限定されるものではない。なお、実施例で用いたモレキュラーシーブ3A、4A及び5Aは、それぞれ3A型、4A型又は5A型の合成ゼオライトに対応する。 Hereinafter, examples in which the embodiments of the present disclosure are disclosed more specifically will be shown.

表1の結果から明らかなように、実施例1〜12では、充填剤を使用しなかった比較例1と比べて、精製後のジメチルアミンの濃度が著しく低くなった。ゼオライトとの接触時間が50秒以上の実施例2〜4、6〜8、10〜12では、蒸留を行った比較例3よりもジメチルアミン濃度が低くなった。なお、ゼオライトとの接触時間が100秒以上の実施例3〜4、7〜8、11〜12では、比較例3と比べてジメチルアミン濃度が半分以下となった。ゼオライトとしてモレキュラーシーブ13Xを用いた比較例2では、充填剤を使用しなかった比較例1と比べてジメチルアミンの濃度がほとんど変わらなかった。 As is clear from the results in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 12, the concentration of dimethylamine after purification was significantly lower than that in Comparative Example 1 in which no filler was used. In Examples 2 to 4, 6 to 8 and 10 to 12 in which the contact time with the zeolite was 50 seconds or more, the dimethylamine concentration was lower than that in Comparative Example 3 in which distillation was performed. In Examples 3 to 4, 7 to 8 and 11 to 12 in which the contact time with zeolite was 100 seconds or more, the dimethylamine concentration was less than half that of Comparative Example 3. In Comparative Example 2 in which Molecular Sieve 13X was used as the zeolite, the concentration of dimethylamine was almost the same as that in Comparative Example 1 in which no filler was used.
