  • Publication number: 20100135895
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for separating HBr from HBr-containing hydrocarbons (alkenes, aromatics and/or alkanes) to purify the hydrocarbons. Reacting a silica supported metal oxide solid material (MOx/SiO2, MOx=MgO, CoO, Co2O3, CuO and mixture thereof) with HBr in HBr-containing hydrocarbons, so as to ensure that the concentration of HBr is reduced to below 1.87×10?16, and then oxidizing the solid material which reacted with HBr in oxygen or air to regenerate MOx/SiO2, meanwhile Br2 is recycled. Therefore, the purpose of continuous purification of hydrocarbons can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20080200039
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a nitridation process for a wafer. The nitridation process comprises steps of disposing the wafer on a top surface of a chuck in a nitridation process tool, wherein a plurality of concentric pipe coils is disposed close to the bottom surface of the chuck. Then, the chuck is heated and the chuck is regionally cooling down by applying a coolant into the concentric pipe coils, wherein the flow rates of the coolant in the concentric pipe coils are different from each other. Furthermore, a plasma nitridation process is performed on the wafer.
