Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wastewater treatment and resource recycling technology, and discloses a system and method for extracting and recovering metals from etching waste liquid. Background Technology
[0002] Etching solutions are used for selective removal, cleaning, and pattern transfer on copper and copper alloy surfaces, and are applied in multiple industries such as PCB (printed circuit board) manufacturing, T-LCD display electrode substrate processing, and microelectronics processing.
[0003] After long-term operation, depending on the process, the concentration of copper and other etched free metal ions in the etching solution increases, leading to a decrease in etching rate, increased risk of crystallization and precipitation, uneven etching, and rough edges. Therefore, recycling copper and alloy ions from the etching solution is an indispensable part of the process. Existing copper recovery technologies include electrolysis, which uses an applied current to reduce copper ions to metallic copper, and membrane separation, which uses nanofiltration and reverse osmosis to retain copper ions. These methods focus on different scenarios, but all have certain drawbacks. Electrodeposition has a minimum concentration limit and low deposition efficiency. Below 10 g / L, the excessively low copper concentration makes electrolysis unsuitable for application and results in hydrogen evolution side reactions. The anode material often needs to be titanium, which also leads to high investment costs. Membrane separation is susceptible to organic contamination and suspended solids deposition, and its limited flux restricts its application to small to medium-sized processes, failing to meet the demands of large-scale rapid wastewater treatment. Solvent extraction effectively overcomes these shortcomings, effectively extracting copper ions at concentrations as low as 1 g / L, demonstrating a strong affinity for copper ions. However, this method also has drawbacks. Due to the diverse types of etching aids, some may be extracted into the organic phase along with copper ions, resulting in aid loss. Furthermore, in some processes, the etched metal composition is complex, not limited to a single metal, as illustrated in CN103924242A. In etching solutions for copper / molybdenum films or copper / molybdenum alloy films, it is necessary to extract copper and molybdenum ions simultaneously, and nitrazole compounds, which are etching aids, are present. However, some extractant formulations can only extract some metal ions, while their ability to extract other metal ions is poor. This results in the enrichment of some metal ions in the circulating system, or a significant reduction in the content of the aids during the cycle. Ultimately, this leads to unstable quality of the etched product and increased costs. Furthermore, the aids are carried into the extract phase during extraction, which shortens the number of extraction-back-extraction cycles of the extractant and reduces the lifespan of the product. Therefore, compared with electrowinning and membrane separation methods, solvent extraction requires the design of different extraction components for different etching processes.

[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, some non-limiting embodiments are further disclosed below to provide a more detailed description of the present invention.
[0048] Extraction method:
[0049] Step 1: Preparation of the extraction solvent
[0050] A ternary mixture of extractant phases was obtained by mixing 40-60% by mass of butyl(1-styryl)phenylphosphonate, 30-50% by mass of 1-(2-isobutylphenyl)ethyl ketone oxime, and 5-10% by mass of 1-(2-dodecylphenyl)-1,3-butanedione.
[0051] The ternary mixture of the extract phase is dissolved in toluene or other inert organic solvents such as cyclohexane at a concentration of 150~200 g / L to prepare the extract phase.
[0052] Step 2: Extract metal ions from waste etching solution
[0053] The etching solution to be treated is mixed with the extractant prepared in step 1 at a volume ratio of 3:1 and stirred at 10~40℃ for 5~10 minutes to ensure full contact between the etching solution and the extractant. After mixing, the mixture is allowed to stand for phase separation. Copper and molybdenum metal ions are extracted into the extract phase, resulting in an upper layer of loaded extract phase containing copper and molybdenum metal ions. The lower layer of regenerated etching solution is placed in a transfer tank for standing. The content of each component in the regenerated etching solution in the transfer tank is measured, and then it is placed in a mixing tank to adjust the content of the additives. After mixing, the solution is collected in a regenerated sub-liquid tank, and hydrogen peroxide is added at a concentration of 10~25wt%. The solution is then recycled in the etching machine.
[0054] Step 3: Back-extract metal ions from the supported extraction phase
[0055] A loaded extract phase containing copper and molybdenum metal ions is mixed with a 3-5 mol / L sulfuric acid solution at a 1:1 volume ratio and stirred for 5-10 minutes to complete the back-extraction process. Metal ions are transferred from the metal-loaded extract phase to the back-extraction acid solution, resulting in a regenerated extract phase and a metal-loaded back-extraction acid solution. The back-extraction acid solution is recycled for extraction of each batch of metal-loaded extract phase. During the recycling process, the sulfuric acid concentration is maintained at 3-5 mol / L. When the copper metal ion concentration in the back-extraction acid solution exceeds 50 g / L, the acidic aqueous phase can be used as the raw solution for the copper electrowinning process.
[0056] Step 4: Copper recycling process in the electrowinning copper process.
[0057] The back-extraction acid solution was adjusted to pH 2-4. A titanium-coated iridium-tantalum anode was used as the anode, and a copper plate was used as the cathode. The current density was controlled at 100-300 A / m. 2 Electrowinning is performed within the specified range to deposit metallic copper.

[0062] The ternary mixture of the extract phase was dissolved in cyclohexane at a concentration of 150 g / L to prepare the extract phase.
[0063] Step 2: Extract metal ions from waste etching solution
[0064] In this embodiment, the etching solution and the extraction phase prepared in step 1 are mixed at a volume ratio of 3:1 and stirred at 20°C for 5 minutes to ensure sufficient contact between the etching solution and the extraction phase. After mixing, the mixture is allowed to stand and separate phases to obtain the upper layer of the copper and molybdenum ion-loaded extraction phase. The lower layer of regenerated etching solution is placed in a transfer tank and allowed to stand. The content of each component in the regenerated etching solution in the transfer tank is measured. Then, it is placed in a mixing tank to adjust the content of each auxiliary agent to 2.0 wt% 5-aminotetrazole, 1.0 wt% iminodiacetic acid, and 2.0 wt% sodium bisulfate. After mixing, the solution is collected in a regenerated sub-liquid tank and hydrogen peroxide is added to 15 wt% for recycling in the etching machine.
[0065] Step 3: Back-extract metal ions from the supported extraction phase
[0066] The loaded extract phase containing copper and molybdenum ions is mixed with a 3 mol / L sulfuric acid solution at a 1:1 volume ratio. The mixture is stirred for 5 minutes to complete the back-extraction process, during which copper and molybdenum ions are transferred from the loaded extract phase to the back-extraction acid solution, resulting in a regenerated extract phase and a back-extraction acid solution containing copper and molybdenum ions. The back-extraction acid solution is recycled to extract each batch of loaded extract phase containing copper and molybdenum ions. During the recycling process, the sulfuric acid concentration is maintained at 3 mol / L. The back-extraction acid solution is used as the raw solution for the copper electrowinning process.
[0067] Step 4: Copper recycling process in the electrowinning copper process.
[0068] The back-extraction acid solution was adjusted to pH 2-4. A titanium-coated iridium-tantalum anode was used as the anode, and a copper plate was used as the cathode. The current density was controlled at 100 A / m. 2 Electrowinning is performed within the specified range to deposit metallic copper.
[0069] Example 2
[0070] The waste etching solution in this invention consists of: 10 g / L copper ions, 15 g / L molybdenum ions, 2.0 wt% 5-aminotetrazole, 1.0 wt% iminodiacetic acid, and 1.0 wt% sodium bisulfate.
[0071] Step 1: Preparation of the extraction solvent
[0072] A ternary mixture of extractant phases was obtained by mixing 40% by mass of butyl(1-styryl)phenylphosphonate, 55% by mass of 1-(2-isobutylphenyl)ethyl ketone oxime, and 5% by mass of 1-(2-dodecylphenyl)-1,3-butanedione.
[0073] The ternary mixture of the extract phase was dissolved in cyclohexane at a concentration of 200 g / L to prepare the extract phase.
[0074] Step 2: Extract metal ions from waste etching solution
[0075] The etching solution to be treated is mixed with the extraction phase prepared in step 1 at a volume ratio of 3:1 and stirred at 40°C for 10 minutes to ensure full contact between the etching solution and the extraction phase. After mixing, the mixture is allowed to stand and separate phases to obtain the upper layer of copper and molybdenum ion-loaded extraction phase. The lower layer of regenerated etching solution is placed in a transfer tank and allowed to stand. The content of each component in the regenerated etching solution in the transfer tank is measured. Then, it is placed in a mixing tank to adjust the content of each auxiliary agent to 2.0 wt% 5-aminotetrazole, 1.0 wt% iminodiacetic acid, and 1.0 wt% sodium bisulfate. After mixing, the solution is collected in the regenerated sub-liquid tank and the hydrogen peroxide concentration is adjusted to 15 wt%. The solution is then recycled in the etching machine.
[0076] Step 3: Back-extract metal ions from the supported extraction phase
[0077] The copper- and molybdenum-loaded extract phase is mixed with a 5 mol / L sulfuric acid solution at a 1:1 volume ratio and stirred for 10 minutes to complete the back-extraction process. Metal ions are transferred from the copper- and molybdenum-loaded extract phase to the back-extraction acid solution, resulting in a regenerated extract phase and a copper- and molybdenum-loaded back-extraction acid solution. This back-extraction acid solution is recycled for extraction of each batch of copper- and molybdenum-loaded extract phase. During the recycling process, the sulfuric acid concentration is maintained at 5 mol / L. This back-extraction acid solution serves as the feed solution for the copper electrowinning process.
[0078] Step 4: Copper recycling process in the electrowinning copper process.
[0079] The back-extraction acid solution was adjusted to pH 2-4. A titanium-coated iridium-tantalum anode was used as the anode, and a copper plate was used as the cathode. The current density was controlled at 300 A / m. 2 Electrowinning is performed within the specified range to deposit metallic copper.

This indicates that even with a high concentration of competing nickel ions in the etching solution, the extraction of copper and molybdenum is not interfered with. The extractant combination of this invention can resist competitive extraction between metal ions, exhibits strong anti-interference capabilities, and effectively retains some of the auxiliary metal ions added to the etching solution.
