  • Publication number: 20080121181
    Abstract: The present invention is a CVD process for forming a thin film which includes a step of recovering an organometallic compound component from an exhaust gas which has been conventionally discarded, and a purifying step of purifying the recovered organometallic compound to thereby eliminate a by-product formed in a film forming step by CVD. According to this process, the organometallic compound is recycled. As a recovering technique, any of the followings is employed: a technique in which the exhaust gas is cooled and is recovered as a recovered content; a technique in which the exhaust gas is brought into contact with a solvent to dissolve the organometallic compound in the solvent; and a technique in which the exhaust gas is brought into contact with an adsorbent to thereby adsorb the organometallic compound.

  • Patent number: 6586648
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing cyclopentadiene or a derivative thereof by heating a mixture containing at least one of dicyclopentadiene or a derivative thereof, the process comprising: a first step comprising heating the mixture into vapor; a second step comprising maintaining while heating the vapor at a temperature higher than the boiling point of the desired cyclopentadiene or derivative thereof to condense and remove high-boiling components and simultaneously collect residual vapor; and a third step comprising maintaining while heating the collected vapor at a temperature lower than the boiling point of the desired cyclopentadiene or derivative thereof to condense and collect the cyclopentadiene or derivative thereof. In the third step, the vapor may be contact with nitrogen gas to improve the yield of the cyclopentadiene or derivative thereof.

  • Patent number: 6565732
    Abstract: The present invention provides a non-cyanide electrolytic gold plating solution comprising a gold compound, as a source material for gold, selected from the group consisting of a gold salt and a gold complex, a buffering agent, an organic brightener, and a conductive salt, wherein 1,2-ethanediamine is contained in the gold plating solution. The gold plating solution has excellent liquid stability in a bath and causes no change in the physical properties of the deposited gold or no decomposition of the solution during the operation of gold plating. The gold plating solutions include both a type in which a bis(1,2-ethanediamine) gold complex is used as a source material for gold, and a type in which a gold salt is used as a source material for gold. The gold plating solution is an unprecedentedly good electrolytic gold plating solution in which the hardness, purity, state of the deposited crystals and so on can be controlled.

  • Publication number: 20010056198
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing bis(alkyl cyclopentadienyl ruthenium comprising reacting alkyl cyclopentadiene with ruthenium chloride and zinc powder in an alcohol solvent, the reaction being effected at a temperature within from −30° C. to −80° C. In the process, the alkyl cyclopentadiene may be first mixed with zinc powder in the alcohol solvent and subsequently the ruthenium chloride may be added thereto to produce bis(alkyl cyclopentadienyl) ruthenium with higher purity.
