[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a draining and drying method for removing moisture from the surface of a solid article. [Prior Art] Methods for removing moisture adhering to the surfaces of metals, plastics, glass, and other solid articles include natural or hot air drying methods, centrifugal dehydration methods, and methods using water-soluble solvents such as alcohol and acetone. Alternatively, a method using a mixture of fluorocarbons such as 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (hereinafter referred to as R-113), alcohol, or a surfactant is known. As products that require draining and drying become more precise, such as optical equipment and semiconductor-related parts, the quality of draining and drying often has a direct impact on the reliability of component performance, and a stable and reliable draining and drying method is required. ing. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among various draining and drying methods, the method using a mixture of R-113 and an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol, especially R-113 and ethanol, is non-flammable. It is considered to be an effective method because the dewatering speed is fast and drying stains are unlikely to remain on the surface of the product after drying. When the article to be drained and dried is immersed in a mixture of R-113 and ethanol,
Moisture on the surface of the article leaves the surface of the article due to the action of ethanol, and the ethanol containing water separates onto the mixed liquid of R-113 and ethanol due to the difference in specific gravity. The ethanol aqueous solution separated into the upper layer will be distilled to recover the ethanol, and the water will be discharged. Therefore, the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixture gradually decreases, requiring replenishment of ethanol. On the other hand, the dehydration rate is R-113/
It is necessary to control the ethanol concentration at a constant level because the ethanol concentration in the ethanol mixture decreases rapidly when it falls below a certain value, and when the ethanol concentration increases, it becomes flammable. Keeping the ethanol concentration constant also provides a constant draining ability, which is particularly desirable for draining precision parts. However, it is not easy to measure the amount of ethanol reduced because it adheres to the surface of the product and dries naturally.
Since R-113 also decreases at the same time, it is not a problem that the concentration can be kept constant by replenishing the amount of ethanol that has decreased. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a method for keeping the ethanol concentration constant during draining and drying using liquid or steam of an R-113/ethanol mixture.
That is, the present invention provides R
- A method of immersing in a liquid or steam bath of a mixture of -113 and ethanol, and draining and drying, detecting the ethanol concentration in the bath with an instrumental analyzer,
The present invention relates to a draining drying method characterized in that the ethanol concentration is controlled by replenishing the bath with a concentration adjusting solution. In normal draining and drying, if the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixture is less than 2 wt%, the draining speed will be extremely reduced, so it is preferably at least 3 wt% or more. On the other hand, ethanol containing water that has left the surface of the product forms a separated layer on the R-113/ethanol mixture due to the difference in specific gravity, but as the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixture increases, the water The amounts of ethanol and R-113 relative to the water contained in the ethanol will increase, and the effort for distillation separation will increase.
Further, a high concentration of ethanol is not preferable because it becomes flammable. Therefore, the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixture is between 3wt% and 6wt%.
% range, and in order to keep the degree of water removal constant, it is desirable to set it to a certain value, for example, around 3.5 wt% in normal operation. To control the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixed bath, first measure the ethanol concentration in the bath using an instrument analyzer, and if it is below a predetermined value, add a concentration adjustment solution with a high ethanol concentration to the bath. If the ethanol concentration is above a predetermined value, ethanol with a lower concentration is added to the bath. In a normal draining operation, the ethanol concentration in the bath gradually decreases, and the concentration adjustment liquid is replenished to prevent the ethanol concentration in the bath from decreasing. If the concentration of the concentration adjustment liquid is high when the amount of water brought into the bath via the article is large, and when it is small, a low concentration is adopted, and the adjustment liquid can be replenished continuously or intermittently. You can go to A mixed solution of R-113/ethanol is preferred as the concentration adjusting solution because it does not cause a large concentration change locally in the bath, but an adjusting solution of R-113 alone or ethanol alone may be used. The R-113/ethanol mixed steam bath is
It is usually formed on an R-113/ethanol mixed solution, and the ethanol concentration in the steam bath can be adjusted by replenishing the lower R-113/ethanol mixed solution with a concentration adjusting solution. Further, the ethanol concentration may be measured in the above layer or the lower liquid layer. In the case of a steam bath, the ethanol concentration can also be adjusted by changing the temperature in the bath. As the instrument analyzer, an infrared absorption photometer is preferred because it has a quick response and can easily carry out continuous measurements, but other absorption or spectrometers or gas chromatographs may also be used. Fluctuations in the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixed bath increase as the amount of water brought in by the articles to be drained and dried increases. Therefore, in order to effectively control the ethanol concentration, it is necessary to keep the articles in the R-113/ethanol mixed bath.
113/Prior to immersion in the ethanol mixed bath,
It is preferable to soak R-113 alone in a bath and drain about 90 to 95% of the water beforehand. A single bath of R-113 is
A boiling bath to which ultrasonic vibrations are applied is preferred because it has a fast draining speed and can effectively remove water from minute spaces on the surface of the article, but an R-113 steam bath may also be used. Ultrasonic vibration energy is applied to a single bath 1
10 to 15W is appropriate. R-
113/Ethanol Since the optimal ethanol concentration in the mixed bath will change slightly, remove most of the water in advance.
-113 After removing in a separate bath, stable water removal is possible without being affected by changes in the product. Of course, it is also possible to easily set the ethanol concentration in the R-113/ethanol mixed bath to an optimum value depending on changes in the product. In an R-113/ethanol mixed bath where the ethanol concentration can be controlled, 99% of the moisture on the surface of the article is removed, and then R-113 is used.
113/ethanol mixed cold liquid bath or further R-
113/100 by immersing the article in an ethanol mixed steam bath
% removal is the usual operation. In these cold liquid baths and steam baths, almost no moisture separates and accumulates,
Ethanol concentration control does not necessarily have to be carried out. [Example] 150 x 100 x 1 mm glass plate with 10 g of attached water
18 sheets were placed in an R-113 boiling bath (applies ultrasonic waves, hereinafter referred to as the 1st tank) at the same time at 1-minute intervals → weight ratio 96/
4 R-113/ethanol room temperature bath (gives ultrasonic waves. Hereinafter referred to as 2nd bath) → R- with a weight ratio of 96/4
113/ethanol cold bath (approximately 15°C, hereinafter referred to as the 3rd tank) → R-113/ethanol steam bath (hereinafter referred to as the 4th tank) with a weight ratio of 96/4. Ivy. The first to fourth tanks each have a capacity of about 40. The immersion time was 1 minute in each tank, and the dehydration rate was measured by the change in weight 15 seconds after the glass plate was pulled up. The ethanol concentration in the second tank was constantly detected using an infrared absorption photometer, and the R-113/ethanol solution with a weight ratio of 75/25 was added to the ethanol concentration adjustment solution.
By continuously supplying ethanol to the second tank at a rate of 700g/hr, the ethanol concentration in the second tank is reduced to approximately 3.5wt.
% was maintained. The dehydration rate of the glass plate taken out from each of the first to fourth tanks was measured 1 hour and 20 hours after the start of draining, and the results are shown in the table below.
