Abstract

PURPOSE:To positively detect the increase in the concentration in dissolved oxygen in pure water which is at an extremely low concentration in a piping system by introducing the dissolved liquid of pure water with an extremely low dissolved oxygen concentration from one of the pipings and then measuring the concentration in dissolved oxygen in pure water. CONSTITUTION:Pure water where the concentration of dissolved oxygen is reduced to 1 ppb or less from a dissolved oxygen reducing device 2 is introduced a piping 1 which is for example a straight pipe made of polyvinyl chloride and the concentration of the dissolved oxygen is measured by an analyzer 3. In this case, the concentration in dissolved oxygen in water also changes due to the fluctuation in pure water flow passing through the piping 1. Namely, when the flow increases, the concentration in the dissolved oxygen decreases and C=C0+F/V can be established (C: concentration in dissolved oxygen of pure water, C0: measured value of the analyzer 3, F: oxygen permeation speed of the piping 1, V: amount of water passage). Therefore, by setting the dissolved oxygen concentration to 1 ppb or less, the amount of increase in the concentration in dissolved water when the material is used for the supply pipe system of ultrapure water can be positively determined by obtaining the oxygen transmission rate of the piping made of an arbitrary material.

Description of the Related Art Water is used in many industrial fields, and the required purity of water depends on the purpose of use, but in semiconductor factories, ultrapure water of particularly high purity is used.

The material of the piping system for supplying the above-mentioned ultrapure water from the pure water producing apparatus to the place of use has conventionally been polyvinyl chloride as an economical material with a low air permeation amount. However, in a piping system made of polyvinyl chloride, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water increases due to the slightest amount of oxygen in the air that permeates the polyvinyl chloride due to the difference in oxygen partial pressure between the inside and outside, It may exceed the specified dissolved oxygen concentration at the place of use.

FIG. 2 shows measured values of dissolved oxygen concentration when the amount of water introduced into the pipe 1 is changed. As is clear from the figure, the flow rate of pure water passing through the pipe 1 is changed. It can be seen that the dissolved oxygen concentration in water also changes, and the increase in the dissolved oxygen concentration decreases as the flow rate of pure water increases.

FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the pure water flow rate and the dissolved oxygen concentration measurement value. As described above, the dissolved oxygen concentration measurement value decreases as the pure water flow rate increases. ,
That is, it can be seen that the increase in the dissolved oxygen concentration is small. Further, as the pipe 1, instead of the above polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVD) having the same size is used.
Similarly, FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the flow rate of pure water and the measured dissolved oxygen concentration when a tube made of F) is used. Comparing the measured values of the dissolved oxygen concentration of both, it is found that the pipe made of polyvinylidene fluoride having a small oxygen permeability coefficient has a smaller increase in the dissolved oxygen concentration as compared with the pipe made of conventional polyvinyl chloride.

Here, the dissolved oxygen concentration of pure water introduced into the pipe 1 from the dissolved oxygen reducing device 2 is C 0 [ppb], and the measured dissolved oxygen concentration in the analyzer 3 is C [ppb], and the pipe 1
Of oxygen permeation rate of F [g / sec] and water flow rate of V [g / sec]
sec], the relationship of C = C 0 + F / V is established. When FIG. 3 is rewritten based on this equation, the figure is shown in FIG. 4, and it can be seen that there is a linear relationship between the reciprocal of the water amount and the dissolved oxygen concentration increase amount. The slope of this straight line represents the oxygen permeation rate (leak rate) of each pipe material, and from the figure, the oxygen leak rate of polyvinyl chloride is 1.3.
X10 -8 [g / s], the leakage rate of oxygen of polyvinylidene fluoride can be calculated as 1.2 x 10 -9 [g / s],
It can be seen that the polyvinyl chloride piping has a higher oxygen leakage rate than the polyvinylidene fluoride piping.

In this way, by obtaining the oxygen permeation rate of the pipe made of any material, it is possible to estimate the increase amount of the dissolved oxygen concentration when the material is used for the ultrapure water supply pipe system. . At this time, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the pure water to be introduced into the pipe may be a concentration at which the amount of change in the dissolved oxygen concentration between the introduction side of the pipe and the oxygen concentration measurement side can be obtained, but the dissolved oxygen concentration in the pure water to be introduced Oxygen concentration below 10 ppb,
In particular, by setting it to 1 ppb or less, the increase amount of the dissolved oxygen concentration can be surely known, and the measurement accuracy can be significantly improved.

Therefore, by applying the method of the present invention, the material that can be used as the pipe can be specified according to the dissolved oxygen allowable amount and the length of the pipe in the place where the ultrapure water is used. In addition, from the relationship between the water flow rate and the dissolved oxygen concentration increase amount, when the water flow rate is high, the amount of increase in dissolved oxygen is small even if a pipe with a relatively high oxygen permeation rate is used. It can be seen that a pipe made of an inexpensive and easily available material can be used as a pipe for supplying ultrapure water to a place where there is a lot of oxygen even if the oxygen permeation rate is relatively high.

Further, in the phenomenon of molecular diffusion in a substance such as a synthetic resin, when the passage diameter in the substance is smaller than the mean free path of the diffusing molecule, the diffusion of the molecule is due to the Knudsen diffusion process. The diffusion rate of molecules is
It will be proportional to the square root of the reciprocal of the molecular weight. That is, for example, the permeation rate of water molecules (molecular weight 18) is about 1.3 times the permeation rate of oxygen (molecular weight 32). Thus, if the oxygen permeation rate is known, the permeation rates of other molecules such as carbon dioxide and ammonia can be obtained.

In the above description, the pipe system for supplying ultrapure water installed in the atmosphere, that is, the case where the partial pressure of the target gas on the outside of the pipe is high, has been described. Even if the partial pressure of the gas is high, the leak state of the pipe can be similarly obtained. For example, while introducing a liquid in which a predetermined concentration of carbon dioxide is dissolved into the pipe, measuring the carbon dioxide concentration in the liquid on the other side of the pipe, and comparing the carbon dioxide concentrations of the two, leakage from the inside of the pipe to the outside The amount of carbon dioxide to be consumed can be calculated. Then, as described above, the leakage state of other components such as water can be known from the leakage state of the carbon dioxide, and the piping design and facility management can be efficiently performed.
