TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The alkaline copper-containing etching liquid is a chemical raw material for manufacturing electronic circuit boards, and is a kind of liquid for making electronic circuits by etching materials on copper-clad boards. During the use of the alkaline copper-containing etching liquid, the etching efficiency of the system is affected due to the enrichment of copper ions, and the system needs to be replaced. The replaced waste alkaline etching liquid usually contains 8% to 11% copper and a large amount of chlorine.
[0003] At present, the latest disposal method of the alkaline copper-containing etching liquid includes neutralization treatment with acid etching liquid to produce basic copper chloride and etching sub-liquid. For example, CN108249472A discloses a comprehensive recycling process of copper-containing etching waste liquid. The process neutralizes the acid etching liquid and the alkaline etching liquid to prepare basic copper chloride or copper sulfate, and regenerates the etching sub-liquid. However, the method needs to use ammonia gas to adjust the acid etching liquid for complete neutralization, which has a high operation risk. In addition, the etching sub-liquid product produced by the process is too limited in application industry and can only be used in the circuit board industry.
[0004] In addition, most disposal methods use neutralization to prepare copper sulfate products. For example, CN117105376A discloses a process for treating alkaline copper etching waste liquid by breaking the complex and depositing copper. The waste alkaline etching liquid is used to produce ammonium chloride and basic salt. After pretreatment, the ammonium chloride solution is used to regenerate the basic etching liquid. However, the method is complex to operate, uses risky materials such as ammonia gas, and has a complex disposal process and high disposal cost.
[0005] Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved in the present field to provide a comprehensive utilization method of alkaline copper-containing etching liquid, which is simple to operate, harmless to the environment, maximizes the use of resources, and reduces disposal costs. SUMMARY

[0121] III. Test and results
[0122] The purity of the copper oxide, sodium chloride and ammonium sulfate product obtained in the above examples or comparative examples is tested, and the recovery rate of copper and the recovery rate of NH4 + are calculated, respectively, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0123] Table 1
[0124]
[0125]
[0126] In Table 1, “-” represents no relevant data.
[0127] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that:
[0128] (1) From the comprehensive examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that the comprehensive utilization method of the basic copper-containing etching solution provided by the present application, by adopting the simultaneous feeding and mixing method, combining the control of the feeding ratio of each raw material, using water vapor to provide heat energy while carrying ammonia gas to realize stripping, and matching the reactor with a specific structure, the copper oxide product with a purity of 83.5wt% or higher, the sodium chloride product with a purity of 96.5wt% or higher, and the ammonium sulfate with a purity of 98.0wt% or higher are prepared, and the recovery rate of copper is as high as 95.0% or higher, and the recovery rate of NH4 + is as high as 99.0% or higher, realizing the efficient recovery and utilization of valuable resources in the basic copper-containing etching solution.
[0129] (2) From the comprehensive examples 1 and examples 4 and 5, it can be seen that by further optimizing the feeding flow ratio of the basic copper-containing etching solution and the lye in step (1) to be (4-6): 1, and adjusting the pH of the mixed solution to be 9.5-12, the reaction is more complete, the recovery rate of copper is improved, and the purity of the obtained copper oxide and sodium chloride is further improved.
[0130] (3) Combining Examples 1, 6, and 7, it can be seen that the steam flow rate in Example 6 was too low, resulting in the reaction system temperature not being able to rise sufficiently above 80°C, leading to incomplete reaction and the reaction of copper and NH4. + The recovery rate decreased, and the purity of each product declined. In Example 7, the feed flow rate of the mixed solution was too high, resulting in a shortened contact time between water vapor and the mixed solution, leading to insufficient heating and thus incomplete reaction. Copper and NH4... + The recovery rate decreases, and the purity of each product decreases; this indicates that the present invention further optimizes the feed flow rate of the mixed solution in step (1) to 1.2-2 m³ / h. 3 / h; and further preferably, the steam flow rate is 0.5–1.5 m³ / h. 3 / h, further increasing copper and NH4 + While ensuring the recovery rate and product purity, it avoids the problems of increased energy consumption caused by excessively high water vapor flow rate and decreased processing efficiency and increased time costs caused by excessively low feed flow rate of the mixed solution.
[0131] (4) As can be seen from the combined examples 1 and 8 to 10, the amount of hydrogen peroxide added in example 8 was too low, resulting in residual Cu in the alkaline copper-containing etching solution. + This leads to a decrease in copper recovery rate; the amount of hydrogen peroxide added in Example 9 is too high, which does not significantly improve the purity of copper oxide, but instead increases reagent consumption, causing waste and increasing operational risks; in Example 10, the properties of the sodium chloride product change because the first pH adjustment is not performed in step (2); this indicates that the present invention further optimizes the amount of oxidant added and the amount of Cu in the alkaline copper-containing etching solution. + The molar ratio is (0.8~1.1):1, or more preferably, the pH adjustment in step (2) includes a first pH adjustment and a second pH adjustment, which further improves the quality of the obtained copper oxide product or sodium chloride product.
[0132] (5) As can be seen from the combined examples 1 and 11 to 13, the comprehensive utilization method of the present invention, by further combining a reactor with a specific structure, that is, further selecting the internal structure of the cylinder to be provided with 4 to 8 layers of trays, further providing a mixing component on the top side of the cylinder, further ensuring that the alkaline copper-containing etching solution is fully mixed with the alkaline solution, further increasing the contact time between the mixed solution and the water vapor, and improving the efficiency of copper and NH4. + This improves the recovery rate and purity of copper oxide and sodium chloride products, while reducing energy consumption.
[0133] (6)It can be seen from the combination of example 1 and comparative examples 1 and 2 that, since the basic copper-containing etching solution and the sodium hydroxide solution in comparative example 1 are not fed at the same time, but the basic copper-containing etching solution is fed first, and then the sodium hydroxide solution is added to the basic copper-containing etching solution, which leads to insufficient mixing of the two, resulting in a decrease in the recovery rate of copper and NH4 + , and a decrease in the purity of the copper oxide and sodium chloride products; since the mixed solution in comparative example 2 is not mixed with water vapor, but the mixed solution is directly heated to 82℃ for reaction, not only the energy consumption is increased, but also the free ammonia produced in the reaction cannot or cannot be removed from the reaction system in time, and is dissolved back into the reaction system, resulting in a decrease in the purity of the copper oxide and sodium chloride, and almost no recovery of NH4 + ; thus it is shown that, by selecting the simultaneous feeding and mixing mode, and by using water vapor to provide heat energy at the same time, ammonia gas is carried out of the reaction system in time to achieve stripping, high-purity copper oxide and sodium chloride products are obtained, the recovery rate of ammonium is improved, and efficient comprehensive recovery and utilization of valuable resources in the basic copper-containing etching solution is achieved.
