| production method | 1. Hydrogen chloride gas was dried by passing through a gas cylinder charged with concentrated sulfuric acid and a drying tower for calcium chloride. 1-2g of Gallium was weighed into a small magnetic boat, and the magnetic boat was placed in a hard glass tube with a diameter of 2cm and a length of 50cm. A portion of the tube is enclosed in a small resistance furnace, and the temperature of the furnace is controlled by an externally connected varistor. After the air in the pipe was discharged with hydrogen chloride gas, the temperature of the electric furnace was slowly increased to 200 °c. This temperature was maintained until the complete reaction of all gallium in the magnetic boat. The reaction can also be carried out slowly at 75 °c, but higher temperatures are required in order for Gallium trichloride to sublimate to the cooler portion of the hard glass tube, this also allows the metal to always react with new surfaces. After all the metal gallium had disappeared, the instrument was allowed to cool, the hydrogen chloride generator was removed, and finally the hydrogen chloride gas was purged with nitrogen gas. The Sublimed product was sealed from the instrument and analyzed for chlorine and gallium content by General gravimetry in a yield of 100% based on the amount of gallium used. 2. Gallium trioxide 2.5G and thionyl chloride about 8ml (excess 2-3 times) were placed in a sealed tube and heated at 200 ° C. For several hours. Gallium trioxide was completely chlorinated. As a result of the reaction, the generated sulfur dioxide increases the pressure in the reaction tube, so it is necessary to cool to below -10 °c before turning on. After unsealing, the sulfur dioxide was evaporated at room temperature and the excess thionyl chloride (boiling point 75 ° C.) was further distilled off. The remaining Gallium trichloride can be purified by distillation at 220 °c. |
