【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、金属フッ化物、特に高純度金属フッ化物の製造方法、更に詳細には光増幅器用高純度フッ化物原料の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ZrF4 、HfF4 、LaF3 、YF3 、ZnF2 、CdF2 、InF3 は光増幅器用フッ化物光ファイバの構成原料である。フッ化物光ファイバによる光増幅を阻害する要因として光ファイバ中に混入しているFe、Cu、Niなどの遷移金属の不純物及び酸素不純物が挙げられる。これらの遷移金属及び酸素は構成原料中に不純物として存在しており、フッ化物光ファイバの光増幅には遷移金属の不純物濃度が1ppb以下、酸素の不純物濃度が1ppm以下の高純度金属フッ化物の作製が不可欠である。
従来、これらのフッ化物光ファイバ原料の製造方法については、金属、酸化物、炭酸塩などを出発物質とし、金属や酸化物については、該金属や該酸化物をF2 ガスあるいはHFガスと直接反応させ、金属フッ化物とする製造方法、炭酸塩については、該炭酸塩にフッ化水素酸を添加し、金属フッ化物の水和物を製造する方法などがある。例えば、金属、酸化物を出発物質とする例としては、ZrにF2 ガスを190℃で反応させ、ZrF4 を製造する方法、ZrO2 にF2 ガスを525℃で反応させ、ZrF4 を製造する方法、ZrO2 にHFガスを550℃で反応させ、ZrF4 を製造する方法、又は、Inを容器に入れた後、減圧し、HFガスを容器に送入し、200℃で反応させ、InF3 を製造する方法などがある。これらの方法で製造したZrF4 又はInF3 については、F2 ガス又はHFガスを高温で取り扱う危険が伴うことが欠点である。次に、炭酸塩を出発物質とする例としては、試薬特級品のZnCO3 に熱フッ化水素酸を添加し、蒸発、濃縮後、ZnF2 ・4H2 Oとし、乾燥フッ化水素ガスにより、300℃で加熱脱水し、ZnF2 とする製造方法がある。この方法で作製したZnF2 については、出発物質のZnCO3 が未溶解のためにCO2 が残留したり、300℃で脱水・乾燥することによって酸化物が発生し、CO2 や酸化物がフッ化物光ファイバの損失増の要因となり、更には光増幅を阻害する欠点がある。
また、出発物質の炭酸塩の純度については、せいぜい5N(99.999%)程度であり、フッ化水素酸との反応工程では精製は行われないため、製造したZnF2 中の遷移金属の不純物濃度は1ppm以上、酸素の不純物濃度は10ppm以上と推定され、これについてもフッ化物光ファイバの損失増となる。更に、高純度フッ化亜鉛の製造方法として、亜鉛の水溶性塩を出発物質としてpHを調整した後、金属不純物の抽出有機試薬としてβ−ジケトンを使用して金属不純物を除去する精製法が提案されている(特願平5−49899号)が、この方法では酸素不純物の除去ができないことに問題がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、出発物質にFe、Ni、Cuなどの遷移金属の不純物及び酸素不純物を除去した金属を使用することにより、上述の欠点を解決し、金属フッ化物、特に高純度の金属フッ化物を製造する方法を提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明を概説すれば、本発明は金属フッ化物の製造方法に関する発明であって、金属フッ化物を製造する方法において、出発物質として高純度の金属を使用し、β−ジケトン処理をすることなく、該高純度金属を、酸化剤を含むフッ化水素酸溶液内で加熱し、該高純度金属を、溶解させ、その後、該酸化剤を含むフッ化水素酸溶液を冷却し、金属フッ化物沈殿を作製し、更に該沈殿物を脱水、乾燥処理することを特徴とする。
【0005】
本発明は、従来技術のZrにF2 ガスを190℃で反応させZrF4 を製造する方法、ZrO2 にF2 ガスを525℃で反応させZrF4 を製造する方法、ZrO2 にHFガスを550℃で反応させZrF4 を製造する方法、Inを容器に入れた後、HFガスで反応させ、InF3 を製造する方法、ZnCO3 に熱フッ化水素酸を添加し、ZnF2 ・4H2 Oとし、乾燥HFガスにより、ZnF2 とする製造方法、亜鉛塩の水溶液にNaF水溶液を添加し、ZnF2 ・4H2 Oを生成後、脱水・加熱乾燥後、フッ化亜鉛を製造する方法、抽出有機試薬としてβ−ジケトンを添加して亜鉛を含む水溶液中の遷移金属不純物を抽出除去する精製法などの問題点を解決するために、Fe、Ni、Cuなどの遷移金属不純物、及び酸素不純物の少ない高純度金属を出発物質に使用し、酸化剤を含むフッ化水素酸で溶解後、金属フッ化物の沈殿を作製し、沈殿物の脱水・乾燥を行い、遷移金属不純物及び酸素不純物の少ない金属フッ化物、特に高純度の金属フッ化物を製造するものである。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を具体的に説明する。
本発明方法において原料として使用する金属の例としては、Zr、Hf、La、Y、Zn、Cd、In等が挙げられるが、中でもその用途上、高純度のZr、Hf、又はLaが有用である。高純度の程度は、6N〜7Nが好ましい。
【0007】
次に、本発明方法において、フッ化水素酸に含有させる酸化剤の例としては通常の各種の酸化剤が挙げられるが、中でも、過酸化水素水、硝酸、又は過塩素酸が好適なものである。
加熱溶解は特殊な条件を必要とせず、当該金属を加熱により溶液中に溶解できる条件であればよい。したがって、従来法におけるような高温加熱を必要としない。
次に、脱水も常用の方法でよく、操作上、吸引ろ過が好適である。
最後に、乾燥も常用の方法でよく、操作上、真空乾燥が好適である。
【0008】
以上具体的に説明したように、本発明方法において、特に高純度の金属フッ化物を製造する方法の場合には、従来技術の金属の酸化物、炭酸塩、金属塩の水溶液などを出発物質とする高純度フッ化物の製造方法とは、高純度金属を出発物質とし、酸化剤とフッ素化剤を加え、高純度の金属フッ化物を製造する点で異なる。また、抽出有機試薬としてβ−ジケトンを添加して金属不純物を除去する精製法とは製造方法に精製工程がない点が異なる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a metal fluoride, particularly a high-purity metal fluoride, and more particularly to a method for producing a high-purity fluoride raw material for an optical amplifier.
[0002]
[Prior art]
ZrF 4 , HfF 4 , LaF 3 , YF 3 , ZnF 2 , CdF 2 , and InF 3 are constituent materials of a fluoride optical fiber for an optical amplifier. Factors inhibiting optical amplification by the fluoride optical fiber include impurities of transition metals such as Fe, Cu, and Ni and oxygen impurities mixed in the optical fiber. These transition metals and oxygen are present as impurities in the constituent materials. For optical amplification of the fluoride optical fiber, high-purity metal fluoride having a transition metal impurity concentration of 1 ppb or less and an oxygen impurity concentration of 1 ppm or less is used. Fabrication is essential.
Conventionally, in the production method of these fluoride optical fiber raw materials, metals, oxides, carbonates, and the like are used as starting materials. For metals and oxides, the metals and the oxides are directly mixed with F 2 gas or HF gas. Regarding a production method and a carbonate which are reacted to form a metal fluoride, there is a method in which hydrofluoric acid is added to the carbonate to produce a hydrate of the metal fluoride. For example, a metal, examples of the starting material an oxide, an F 2 gas is reacted at 190 ° C. to Zr, a method of manufacturing a ZrF 4, reacted at 525 ° C. The F 2 gas to ZrO 2, the ZrF 4 A method of producing, a method of reacting HF gas with ZrO 2 at 550 ° C., or a method of producing ZrF 4 , or putting In into a container, reducing the pressure, sending HF gas into the container, and reacting at 200 ° C. , InF 3 and the like. A disadvantage of ZrF 4 or InF 3 produced by these methods is that there is a danger of handling F 2 gas or HF gas at a high temperature.

For ZnF 2 produced by this method, an oxide is generated by the ZnCO 3 starting materials CO 2 is or remains for undissolved, dehydrated and dried at 300 ° C., CO 2 and oxides fluoride This has the disadvantage of increasing the loss of the compound optical fiber, and further impeding the optical amplification.
As for the purity of the carbonate of the starting material is at most 5N (99.999%) or so, since the purification is in the step of the reaction with hydrofluoric acid is not performed, the impurity of the transition metal in ZnF 2 produced The concentration is estimated to be 1 ppm or more, and the impurity concentration of oxygen is estimated to be 10 ppm or more, which also increases the loss of the fluoride optical fiber. Furthermore, as a method for producing high-purity zinc fluoride, a purification method in which a pH is adjusted using a water-soluble salt of zinc as a starting material, and metal impurities are removed using β-diketone as an organic reagent for extracting metal impurities is proposed. However, this method has a problem in that oxygen impurities cannot be removed by this method.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages by using a metal from which impurities of transition metals such as Fe, Ni, and Cu and oxygen impurities have been removed as a starting material, and to solve the above-mentioned metal fluorides, particularly high-purity metal fluorides. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a compound.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the production method of the present invention, a metal fluoride containing anhydrous or hydrate can be produced. In particular, anhydrous ZnF 2 , ZrF 4 , HfF 4 , LaF 3 , YF 3 , and CdF 2 are dehydrated and dried with conventional HF gas at 300 ° C. to 600 ° C. to obtain anhydrous metal fluoride. Since it is very easy to produce anhydrous metal fluoride, it is necessary to suppress oxides generated by heat treatment at high temperature and to produce high-purity anhydrous fluoride with an extremely low concentration of transition metal. You can do it. Further, by using this as a starting material of a fluoride optical fiber amplifier, there is an advantage that an optical fiber amplifier having a high amplification degree can be manufactured.
