Proper Cleaning of Glove Boxes

 

When a glove box has not been used for an extended period or when air has entered the box, cleaning is necessary before reuse. The purpose of glove box cleaning is to replace the high-purity working gas (such as high-purity nitrogen) with the air or other unqualified gases inside the glove box, thereby reducing the moisture and oxygen content in the box to a lower level.

 

Correct Methods for Cleaning Glove Boxes

 

A glove box is a special sealed device widely used in experiments that require a moisture-free and oxygen-free environment. However, with increasing usage time, harmful substances such as organic vapors and acid-base solvents may accumulate inside the glove box. These substances not only affect the normal operation of the glove box's sensors and circulation system but may also have an adverse impact on experimental results. Therefore, regular cleaning of the glove box is necessary.

 

Glove box cleaning involves using the working gas to displace the gases inside the box and then exhausting them through the cleaning valve on top, thereby removing organic vapors and other harmful substances from the box interior and ensuring the purity of the internal environment. This process is crucial for maintaining the normal operation of the glove box and the accuracy of experiments. Regular cleaning can prevent the accumulation of pollutants, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure the reliability of experimental results.

 

When cleaning a glove box, pay attention to the following points:

 

1. Before starting the cleaning process, ensure that the supply of working gas is sufficient to guarantee continuous gas supply during cleaning. It is recommended to check the gas cylinder pressure and the integrity of the connecting pipelines to ensure there are no leaks.

 

2. To ensure the cleaning effect, the glove box's circulation system needs to be turned off to prevent the circulation of gases inside the box. This can avoid the redistribution of pollutants to the interior of the glove box during the cleaning process.

 

3. Use the touch screen on the glove box to select the "Cleaning" button and click "Start" to initiate the cleaning procedure. The system will automatically perform a series of preset operations to ensure the smooth progress of the cleaning process.

 

4. After activating the cleaning mode, adjust the reducing valve auxiliary gauge to set the pressure within the correct range to ensure effective displacement of the polluted gases inside the box. It is recommended to regularly check the working condition of the reducing valve to ensure its accuracy.

 

5. Exhaust the gases from inside the box: Through the cleaning valve on top of the glove box, exhaust the gases until the working gas completely replaces the original gases. This process may take some time, depending on the size of the glove box and the concentration of internal pollutants.

 

When Should Glove Boxes Be Cleaned?

 

1. Initial debugging: New glove boxes need to be cleaned before first use to ensure the initial purity of the internal environment. This helps avoid unforeseen contamination problems in subsequent experiments.

 

2. Long periods of inactivity: If a glove box has not been used for an extended period, the inert gas atmosphere inside the box needs to be cleaned to restore its purity. Glove boxes left idle for a long time may absorb moisture and pollutants from the air, affecting their performance.

 

3. Air entry due to improper operation: Improper operation may lead to air entering the glove box, requiring cleaning to remove the air. Even a small amount of air entry can have a significant impact on the experimental environment.

 

4. Removal of harmful substances: When the concentration of organic vapors and other harmful substances inside the glove box is too high, it may affect the normal operation of sensors and purification materials, necessitating cleaning to reduce the concentration of these substances and maintain the efficient operation of the glove box.

 

Regular cleaning and maintenance of glove boxes not only extend their service life but are also key to ensuring the accuracy of experimental results. Mastering the correct cleaning methods and maintenance techniques can improve experimental efficiency, reduce the occurrence of failures, and ensure the smooth progress of research work.
