モノフルオロメタンを得ると共にジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドを分離して得る工程を有する発明1~6。
CHF2CF2OCH3 → CH3F + CHF2COF
目的化合物であるモノフルオロメタン(沸点:-78℃)は、その他の主な成分であるジフルオロ酢酸フルオライド(沸点:0℃)および未反応のHFE-254pc(沸点:40℃)との沸点差が大きく、熱分解装置から流出した熱分解生成物(ガス)を冷却すると、単純な冷却液化によって容易にモノフルオロメタンを主とする成分を分離して回収することができる。当然、熱分解生成物を加圧して液化することもでき、その場合でも冷却することが好ましい。このとき、一部の成分が液化して、低沸点成分としてのモノフルオロメタンを主とする組成物と、高沸点成分としてのジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドまたはジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドとHFE-254pcの混合物に容易に分離できる。組成は冷却温度により任意に変動させることができるが、通常、低沸点成分には、不純物としてCH4、C2H4、CHF3、C3H6等が含まれることがあり、高沸点成分には同様にCHF2COOCH3、CHF2COOH等が含まれることがある。
熱分解により生成した熱分解生成物をジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドと反応しない不活性な溶媒(以後、「不活性溶媒」という。)と接触させて、熱分解生成物に含まれるジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドを溶媒に吸収させ、非溶解のモノフルオロメタンを取り出すことができる。
反応分離法では、熱分解により生じた反応生成物に含まれるジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドを反応により高沸点で安定な化合物に変換してからモノフルオロメタンから分離する。変換と分離を同一の容器で同時に行うこともでき、異なる容器で行うこともできる。反応相手(反応試剤)となる活性な化合物としては、水、アルコール類または第一アミンもしくは第二アミン、αβ不飽和カルボン酸エステルなどの活性な水素原子を有する化合物が挙げられるがこれらに限られない。これらのうち、水またはアルコール類が好ましい。これらの化合物の反応は、次の式で例示できる。
CHF2COF + ROH → CHF2COOR + HF
CHF2COF + RNH2 → CHF2CONRH + HF
CHF2COF + R2NH → CHF2CONR2 + HF
前記各種の分離方法で得られた低沸点成分は、微量の酸性成分を含むことがある。例えば、冷却液化による分離後の低沸点成分には飛沫同伴等によりジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドまたはフッ化水素が混入することがある。低沸点成分に含まれる酸性成分は水および/または塩基性水溶液と接触させて洗浄した後、乾燥処理することによって取り除くことができ、高純度のモノフルオロメタンとすることができる。洗浄方法は、気泡塔などを用いるバブリング方式、充填塔を用いるスクラバー方式など、「吸収分離法」において示した各種の気-液接触方法を任意に適用できる。塩基性水溶液としては、KOH水溶液、NaOH水溶液、Ca(OH)2水溶液等が例示されるが、接触させた際に生成するフッ化物塩の飽和溶解度が高く、装置の閉塞等のトラブルを起こし難いKOH水溶液が好ましい。洗浄後は、ソーダライム、合成ゼオライト、シリカゲル等の脱水剤によって、水分を除去することが望ましい。また、ソーダライムや合成ゼオライト、シリカゲルは脱水だけでなく、好ましくない副生物を除去する効果を有することもある。合成ゼオライトとしては、3A型、4A型、5A型、10X型、13X型などが使用できる。熱分解で得られたモノフルオロメタンを洗浄および、ゼオライト、ソーダライム等で乾燥する工程のみで、精密蒸留精製をしないで、純度を容易に99%以上とすることができ、最適条件で熱分解した場合、純度を99.9%以上とすることができる。これは、半導体工業におけるエッチングガスやクリーニングガスとして使用するのに十分な純度である。
モノフルオロメタンは、半導体工業を中心とした薄膜デバイス製造プロセス、光デバイス製造プロセス、超鋼材料製造プロセスなどにおいて、CVD法、スパッタリング法、ゾルゲル法、蒸着法などを用いて作成される薄膜、厚膜をエッチングする所謂エッチングガス(エッチング剤)として有用である。また、これらのプロセスにおいて薄膜等の作成時に装置、配管等へ堆積した薄膜や粉体を除去するための所謂クリーニングガスとしても有用である。
85%リン酸(H3PO4) 30gを300ccの水で希釈したリン酸水溶液へ日本エンバイロケミカルズ株式会社製の粒状活性炭G2X 100gを浸漬し、よく攪拌した後3日間静置した。その後、ロータリーエバポレーターで乾燥し、次いで、電気炉で窒素気流中、350℃で5時間焼成して、リン酸担持活性炭触媒を調製した。
硝酸アルミニウム9水塩(Al(NO3)3・9H2O) 1000g(2.666mol)と硝酸セリウム6水塩(Ce(NO3)3・6H2O) 128.6g(0.296mol)を5300ccの純水で溶かし、さらに85%リン酸306g(3.12mol)を加えて攪拌した。この状態で、透明な溶液であった。これに1Lの大型滴下ロートにより10%アンモニア水(約3000cc)を約10時間かけて滴下して塩基性にした。固形分濃度が高く、滴下途中から攪拌機では攪拌不能となったので、ステンレス鋼製のスコップで手攪拌した。生成した白色沈殿物を、一晩静置し、吸引濾過し、5回水洗浄を行った。
この白色固体を、ステンレス鋼製パッドに移し、180℃の乾燥機で一晩乾燥した。乳鉢ですりつぶし、篩い分けし、打錠器にて5mmφ×5mmLのペレットに成形し、窒素気流中700℃で5時間焼成して、リン酸アルミニウム・リン酸セリウム触媒を調製した。
アルドリッチ製リン酸アルミニウム(Aluminum phosphate)を5mmφ×5mmLのペレットに打錠成形し、窒素気流中700℃で5時間焼成して、リン酸アルミニウム触媒を調製した。
マントルヒーターを備えた長さ1.5m×内径55mmのステンレス鋼(SUS316)製反応管にγ-アルミナビーズ(住友化学、KHS-46)を2kg充填した。マントルヒーター温度を50℃に制御し、窒素(1000cc/分)を流通させながら、気化器で気化させたフッ化水素(HF)を4g/分で流通させた。この流通によって、特に入り口部に発熱(吸着熱および反応熱)が観測され、その発熱帯は徐々に出口方向に移動した。この時、温度が最も高いヒートスポットが300℃を超えた場合、HF供給速度を1g/分以下に下げて、局所発熱を抑制し、温度が設定温度になったことを確認後、徐々にHF供給速度を4g/分まで戻した。発熱帯が出口付近に達した後、ジャケット設定温度を50℃ずつ250℃まで上げて、前記のγ-アルミナのフッ素化を繰り返した。その後、ジャケット設定温度を300℃に設定し、HF流量を徐々に20g/分まで上げた。この時のヒートスポットの温度が350℃を超えた場合は、HF流量を1g/分に下げた。ジャケット温度300℃、HF流量20g/分の条件で、実質的にヒートスポットが観測されなくなった時点から、さらに同じ条件で24時間フッ素化処理を継続し、その後、窒素だけを流通させながら、ヒーターの電源を切り、冷却し、フッ素化処理したアルミナ触媒を得た。
アルドリッチ製無水フッ化アルミニウム(AlF3)を5mmφ×5mmLのペレットに打錠成形し、窒素気流中700℃で5時間焼成して、フッ化アルミニウム触媒を調製した。
モノフルオロメタンとジフルオロ酢酸フルオライドの標品を用いて、FID検出器の感度測定を行った。モノフルオロメタン (40kPa,300torr)およびジフルオロ酢酸フルオライド (40kPa、300torr)をシリンダー(300cc)に採取し(モル比:1:1、全圧:80kPa、600torr)、シリンダーを25℃に加温して、これからガスシリンジに0.2ccの試料を取り、「EPA METHOD 624」対応カラムを使用して、ガスクロマトグラフ分析を行い、面積比を求めた。
