Generally, KF and HF stored in an electrolytic cell are initially charged with a predetermined amount of K F and H F, and then appropriately supplied with H F to be used as KF and 2HF. At this time, the amount of KF · HF which was insufficient to the amount of KF · 2HF was put in, and then the HF was supplied again to prepare a regular electrolytic bath.

Among them, the endothermic peaks at '4 3 · 4 ° C, 6 4 · 4 ° C, 9 0 · 8 ° C are due to the adsorption of water, and the endothermic peak at 1 5 1 · 6 t is caused by the desorption of crystal water. . The K F adsorbed water as a raw material is considered to be easily decomposed by the reaction shown in the aforementioned reaction formula (1). However, the crystal water corresponding to the endothermic peak at 1 5 1.6 ° C of DTA is a crystal structure due to the strong interaction with KF and the main structure of HF in the electrolytic bath due to hydrogen bonding. If a trace amount 'is considered difficult to diffuse and exclude. Therefore, as described above, KF is re-heated to 250 ~ 300 ° C under the purging of ultra-high purity inert gas, and it is performed for 24 ~ 48 hours in advance, ideally 10 ~ 30 hours. The heat treatment can make the crystals hydrolyze and absorb. Then, cool to room temperature, and after closing valve 2a, open valve 4b and valve 3a. At this time, the high-purity inert gas piping 4 is heated in advance by a line heater 15 to 30 to 35 ° C. Further, the H F cylinder 11 is heated by the heater 14 to vaporize the H F. Once the valve 5 a is opened, the H F is slowly introduced into K F 1 0 of the modulation system A. At this time, the reaction between K F 1 0 and H F is intense and heat is generated, and water is caused to flow through the cooling water. The tube 8 is used to cool the KF 2HFg cycle device 7 ′ to prevent the temperature from exceeding .100 ° C. This is because once the temperature exceeds 100 ° C and reaches 200 ° C, H F will generate a sharp bump and become explosive.

Description of the invention (10) The HF of KF 10 can increase the supply rate of HF, so that the molar ratio is higher than that of KF · HF. Furthermore, after confirming that a predetermined amount of HF is supplied to the modulation system A by the load cell 12 of the HF supply system B, the valve 5 a is closed and the valve 4 a is opened to introduce a high-purity inert gas from the pipe 1. The exhaust gas is purged from the inert gas purge pipe 3. This is to prevent the H F in the piping 1 from being abruptly absorbed in the KF · 2HF modulated by K F 1〇 to KF · 2HF, and the KF · 2 H F caused to solidify in the piping 1 countercurrently. Further, after the modulation system A 淸 is removed with an inert gas at an appropriate time, the valve 4b is closed. Next, the inert gas is supplied from the inert gas scavenging pipe 3. At the same time, valves 18 and 19 are opened. The modulation system A uses the pressure of the inert gas introduced from the inert gas purging pipe 3 to send the prepared KF · 2HF from the pipe 1 to the electrolytic cell 20 of the fluorine gas generation system C. At this time, the electrolytic cell 20 is previously heat-treated at 250 to 350 ° C to desorb the adsorbed water and the like. Thus, in the fluorine gas generating device of the present invention, it is possible to increase the amount of adsorbed water with a small amount. The purity KF · 2 HF can be supplied into the electrolytic cell of the fluorine gas generator without coming into contact with air, and a high-purity electrolytic bath KF · 2 HF can be formed in the electrolytic cell. By this means, the oxygen concentration of the electrolytic bath is reduced to an extremely low level. Alternatively, each of the modulation system A, the HF supply system B, and the fluorine gas generation system C may be configured to be housed in a housing capable of controlling the atmosphere. By this means, the humidity of the external atmosphere of each system can be adjusted, and the paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297) I ---.-- J-^ equipment ----- -Order ------ 0 、 (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) -14-0301C16 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs • V. Description of the invention (ii) It can suppress mixing Oxygen in each system. Furthermore, the entire system, that is, the fluorine gas generating device G, can also be housed in a single housing. Furthermore, by installing all these systems in a clean room, it is possible to obtain the same effects as if they were housed in a casing that can control the atmosphere. In this way, by suppressing the incorporation of oxygen into each system, the oxygen concentration in the generated fluorine gas can be reduced more reliably. It should be noted that the fluorine gas generating device and the fluorine gas generating method of the present invention are not limited to the examples of the above embodiment. (Example) Hereinafter, the fluorine gas generating device of the present invention will be specifically described based on examples.
