  • Publication number: 20080203353
    Abstract: The invention is a method for continuously preparing highly pure octafluorocyclopentene for use in dry-etching processes. The method includes reacting octachlorocyclopentene with KF in a continuous manner, and purifying crude octafluorocyclopentene. In the reacting step, two KF-charged filters are installed in parallel and allowed to communicate with a reactor containing octachlorocyclopentene in an alternating manner to produce crude octafluorocyclopentene. In the purifying step, organics having lower boiling points than octafluorocyclopentene are removed, and metal ingredients and organics having boiling points higher than octafluorocyclopentene are separated to recover octafluorocyclopentene as a gas. The gaseous octafluorocyclopentene composition contains C5F8 in an amount of 99.995 vol % or higher, nitrogen in an amount of 50 vol ppm or less, oxygen in an amount of 5 vol ppm or less, water in an amount of 5 vol ppm or less, and metal ingredients in an amount of 5 wt ppb or less.

  • Publication number: 20040101448
    Abstract: Disclosed is a reactor for producing a hydrofluorocarbon compound by reacting a chlorinated organic compound with hydrogen fluoride in liquid phase in the presence of an antimony chlorofluoride catalyst, comprising an inner wall B lined with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, and an outer wall A. A space G of 2 to 10 mm is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall, and maintained by spiral baffles. Additionally, a plurality of vent holes with diameter of 2 to 5 mm are formed, at regular intervals of 150 to 300 mm, on the whole inner wall of the reactor. The reactor is advantageous in that the PTFE resin lined on the inner wall of the reactor is not degraded, thereby prolonging a reactor's life span and easily supplying heat to the reactor.

  • Patent number: 6162955
    Abstract: A method for producing a high purity of perfluoroethane from hydrofluoroethane (C.sub.2 F.sub.x H.sub.y 1.ltoreq.x, 1.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.5, x+y=6). Cobalt difluoride (CoF.sub.2) as a catalyst is activated into cobalt trifluoride (CoF.sub.3) as a result of the contact reaction with fluorine gas in a reactor. The reactor is purged by removing the fluorine gas remaining in the reactor. The remaining gas is allowed to react with sulfur to give sulfur hexafluoride (SF.sub.6) which is then removed. The hydrofluoroethane is converted into perfluoroethane as a result of the catalyst of the activated cobalt trifluoride at 300-350.degree. C. The feedstock is safer and less corrosive than triple bond-containing compounds such as acetylene. In the method of the present invention, the formation of CF.sub.4 is extremely restrained and no inert gases are employed, so that a very high purity of C.sub.2 F.sub.6 can be obtained at a high conversion rate.
