Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the refining time of liquid ozone. CONSTITUTION:A mixed gas of ozone and oxygen is produced from oxygen gas by an ozonizer 22 and introduced at a regulated flow rate into a distiller 12 cooled with liquid nitrogen 28. The inside of the distiller 12 is evacuated with a sorption pump 18 to keep the vapor-phase pressure in the distiller 12 to a level lower than the saturated vapor pressure of oxygen at the liquid nitrogen temperature and higher than the saturated vapor pressure of ozone to effect the exclusive liquefaction of ozone. The liquefied ozone is stored and the distiller 12 is evacuated to the saturated vapor pressure of ozone at the liquid nitrogen temperature to obtain the liquefied ozone in purified state.

When a predetermined amount of liquid raw material is stored in the distiller, the introduction of the raw material gas into the distiller is stopped, and at the same time, the sorption pump starts exhausting the interior of the distiller. The vapor pressure of ozone (approximately 3 mm Torr) at a liquid nitrogen temperature of 77 K is the vapor pressure of oxygen (approximately 1

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to purify liquid ozone until the liquid oxygen remaining in the distiller is substantially eliminated, the pressure of the gas phase in the distiller must be lower than that of liquid nitrogen. The distiller may be continuously evacuated until the pressure becomes equal to the saturated vapor pressure of ozone (approximately 3 mmTorr) at a temperature of 77K. However, simply continuing to exhaust the inside of the distiller has the problem that it takes a very long time to eliminate the liquid oxygen remaining in the distiller and obtain 100% liquid ozone. Separation of liquid ozone and liquid oxygen also has the problem of a high risk of explosion due to bumping.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve this object, the ozone purification method of the present invention involves introducing a raw material gas containing ozone and oxygen into a cooled distillation vessel to liquefy it into the distillation vessel. When purifying liquid ozone, the gas phase pressure in the distiller is reduced to a pressure that is lower than the saturated vapor pressure of oxygen at the temperature inside the distiller and higher than the saturated vapor pressure of ozone at the temperature. By doing so, liquid ozone is stored in the distiller.

[Operation] According to this purification method, the vapor phase pressure of the distiller is lower than the saturated vapor pressure of oxygen at the cooling temperature of the refrigerant and higher than the saturated vapor pressure of ozone, so only liquefied ozone is present in the distiller. can be stored, and oxygen gas can be exhausted. Therefore, when the supply of raw material gas is stopped after a predetermined amount of liquefied ozone has been stored, the gas phase pressure in the distiller quickly drops to the saturated vapor pressure of ozone, and the time for ozone purification can be shortened. Furthermore, since oxygen is not liquefied, the risk of explosion due to bumping during separation of liquid ozone and liquid oxygen can be almost eliminated.

The source gas supply section 10 has an oxygen gas source 20 and an ozonizer 22. The ozonizer 22 ozonizes the oxygen gas introduced from the oxygen gas source 20 to generate a source gas containing ozone gas and oxygen. The ozonizer 22 then supplies a portion of the raw material gas into the distiller 12 through the valve 16. The remainder of the raw material gas passes through the decomposer 30, decomposes ozone into oxygen, and releases it to the outside.

The cooling section 14 includes a first container 24 and this container 2.

A refrigerant 28, such as liquid nitrogen, is stored between the two. By cooling the distiller 12 with the refrigerant 28 and exhausting the inside of the distiller 12 with the sorption pump 18 to reduce the pressure, only the ozone gas is liquefied without liquefying the oxygen gas,
The liquid ozone obtained thereby is stored in the distiller 12. Note that oxygen gas contains a small amount of impurities that are inevitably mixed in during the oxygen gas production process, and it is therefore possible that this impurity may be liquefied. Therefore, here, liquefying only ozone gas also includes the case where impurities are liquefied.

In ozone purification, first, an inert gas 32 is sealed between the distiller 12 and the second container 26, and the distiller 12 is cooled with a refrigerant 28, such as liquid nitrogen. Then, a raw material gas is generated by the raw material gas supply section 10, and a portion of the raw material gas at approximately atmospheric pressure is supplied into the distiller 12 with the flow rate adjusted by a valve 16. The remaining raw material gas is discharged to the outside through the decomposer 30. Approximately 5% by weight of the raw material gas is ozone gas, and almost all of the remainder is oxygen gas.

Liquid ozone is produced from the raw material gas by adjusting the flow rate of the raw material gas into the distiller 12 with the valve 16.
For example, about 0.6 l/min at a pressure of about 1 Kg/cm2
At the same time, the distiller 12 is evacuated by the absorption pump 18, and the gas phase pressure in the distiller 12 is maintained at about 100 Torr.

The inside of the distiller 12 is always maintained lower than the saturated vapor pressure of oxygen (approximately 150 Torr) at liquid nitrogen temperature and higher than the saturated vapor pressure of ozone (approximately 3 mTorr), so that only ozone is liquefied and oxygen is liquefied. It is exhausted without doing so. After a predetermined amount, for example, 0.5 cc of liquid ozone is stored in the distiller 12, the valve 16 is closed, the supply of raw material gas is stopped, and the inside of the distiller 12 is evacuated by a absorption pump.

Preferably, this evacuation is performed until the gas phase pressure in the distiller 12 reaches the saturated vapor pressure of ozone at the cooling temperature by the refrigerant 28. The time required to condense liquid ozone (hereinafter referred to as concentration time) until the gas phase pressure in the distiller 12 reaches the saturated vapor pressure of ozone of 3 mmTorr at a liquid nitrogen temperature of 77 K is hardly required because oxygen is not liquefied. .

[0020] In the conventional method of concentrating liquid ozone, in which a liquid raw material containing liquid oxygen and liquid ozone is generated and then the inside of the distiller 12 is evacuated to remove the liquefied oxygen, the concentration time takes several hours. . However, in this embodiment, the ozone purification time can be reduced to about 1/5 compared to the conventional method. Furthermore, since the oxygen is not liquefied, the risk of explosion due to bumping during separation of liquid oxygen and liquid ozone can also be eliminated.

When forming a superconducting oxide film using liquid ozone, after refining the extremely pure liquid ozone as described above, the refrigerant 28 and the distiller 12 are insulated and the distiller 12 is heated. The liquid ozone is heated by a heating means (not shown), such as a heating wire, to vaporize the liquid ozone to generate ozone gas. Then, while heating the substrate 38 placed in the film forming chamber 36 with the heater 40, ozone gas is supplied together with material elements for the superconducting oxide film onto the film forming surface of the substrate 38 to form a superconducting oxide film.

As is clear from the above description, according to the ozone purification method of the present invention, the flow rate of the raw material gas is adjusted to exhaust the inside of the distiller. By suppressing the flow rate of the raw material gas, the pressure inside the distiller is reduced to below the saturated vapor pressure of oxygen and only liquid ozone is produced. Ozone concentration time can be shortened. Furthermore, since oxygen is not liquefied together, safety is improved.
