Background
The high-purity sulfuric acid is one of common ultra-clean high-purity microelectronic chemical practical reagents, is mainly applied to cleaning, photoetching and corrosion of silicon wafers and corrosion and cleaning of printed circuit boards, and can effectively remove impurity particles, inorganic residues and carbon deposits on the wafers. The requirements for the processing precision of semiconductors, integrated circuits and the like are gradually increased, and the quality requirements of matched ultra-clean high-purity sulfuric acid products are correspondingly increased.
The production process of high-purity sulfuric acid in the prior art mainly comprises a sulfur trioxide absorption method and a combined membrane method.

In addition, sulfur trioxide gas has extremely strong permeability, the heat exchange medium used for condensing sulfur trioxide is water, and high-temperature gaseous sulfur trioxide penetrates through a heat exchanger to generate violent exothermic reaction with water, so that serious safety problems can be caused.

Detailed Description

Sulfur trioxide infiltration cooling medium aquatic can take place violent exothermic reaction, leads to the temperature in the cooling coil to fluctuate, influences sulfur trioxide's cooling effect, can lead to corresponding safety problem simultaneously. The sulfuric acid semi-finished product obtained by circularly absorbing sulfur trioxide is used as a cooling medium, so that the reaction intensity in the cooling medium is reduced. In order to further ensure production safety, the mass fraction (the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution) of the sulfuric acid semifinished product in the cooling coil is preferably 96% or more.
Demister
The demister functions to remove fine liquid droplets entrained in the sulfur trioxide gas. A commonly used sulfur trioxide demister is a wire mesh demister.
Gas stripping
The effect of the stripping is to remove free sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide from the sulphuric acid. Preferably, the ratio of the sulfuric acid feed amount to the air feed amount of the primary stripping is larger than the sulfuric acid feed amount to the air feed amount of the secondary stripping. The sulfuric acid feed temperature for the secondary stripping is lowered and the addition of air feed helps to further improve the removal of free sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.
