[0002] In the field of metal etching, performance optimization and environmentally friendly regeneration of acidic etching solutions have always been core challenges. Traditional acidic copper chloride systems (such as hydrochloric acid + sodium chlorate combination) have significant technical bottlenecks: the etching rate is low under low acid conditions, which cannot meet the etching requirements of industry; while high acid systems can improve the rate, they rely on strong oxidants to maintain copper ion regeneration, which easily leads to the risk of chlorine gas leakage and severe side corrosion. In addition, waste liquid treatment is costly, copper resource recovery rate is insufficient, and existing electrolytic regeneration equipment requires large investment and consumes a lot of energy.

The mixture was reacted at 120-140℃ for 12-16 h, centrifuged, and dried to obtain MOF crystals. Copper nitrate and iron nitrate were dispersed in anhydrous ethanol at a metal ion molar ratio of 1:0.6-1 to prepare an impregnation solution with a concentration of 0.1-0.3 mol / L. The MOF crystals were added to the impregnation solution, and the solid-liquid mass ratio was controlled at 1-3:10-20. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6-12 h, centrifuged, and vacuum dried at 60-80℃ for 6-12 h. Under an inert atmosphere, the temperature was increased to 250-300℃ at a heating rate of 2-5℃ / min and calcined at a constant temperature for 2-4 h. After natural cooling, the mixture was washed three times with deionized water and vacuum dried at 60-80℃ for 5-8 h to obtain the cerium-zirconium MOF composite.

[0017] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: This application uses a mixture of hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, and fluoroboric acid as the acidic medium. Hydrochloric acid can rapidly dissociate and release high concentrations of H+. + Methylsulfonic acid provides a sufficient proton environment for the dissolution reaction of metals (such as copper and iron), but its strong corrosiveness can easily lead to excessively intense local reactions on the metal surface, resulting in defects such as over-etching and edge burrs. Methylsulfonic acid, as a strong organic acid, has an acidity close to that of hydrochloric acid but is milder in corrosiveness. The CH3SO3⁻ in its molecule can react with metal ions (Cu... 2+ Fe 3+ This forms a weak complexation, reducing local H⁺ concentration fluctuations and balancing the strong corrosiveness of hydrochloric acid, making the etching process more gentle and controllable. (The text also mentions BF₄ in fluoroboric acid.) - The ions possess strong complexing capabilities, preferentially reacting with and dissolving the oxide film (such as CuO, Fe2O3) on the metal surface, allowing H⁺ to contact the metal surface more evenly and avoiding local reaction delays caused by uneven oxide film distribution. When the three are used synergistically, hydrochloric acid provides high reactivity to ensure the etching rate, methanesulfonic acid regulates the reaction rhythm through weak complexation, and fluoroboric acid eliminates oxide film barriers to ensure uniform reaction initiation, resulting in a significantly improved etching rate compared to a single acid. Hydrochloric acid, when used alone, is highly volatile and easily generates a large amount of acid mist, causing not only raw material loss but also equipment corrosion and harm to the health of operators. Methanesulfonic acid has low volatility, and its addition can reduce the volatility tendency of hydrochloric acid through intermolecular forces. Fluoroboric acid itself has low volatility, and its strong complexing effect with metal ions can reduce free H⁺. + The concentration further inhibits the formation of acid mist.
[0018] This application utilizes a compound of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetic acid, and hypozinotriacetic acid. These three compounds form a highly efficient complex network through structural and functional synergy. Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate strongly chelates Cu. 2+ Principal metal ions, 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetic acid specifically optimized Fe 3+Complexation efficiency, triacetic acid enhances complexation stability in acidic environments, the three complement each other to broaden the complexation range, synergistically inhibit the hydrolysis and precipitation of metal ions, buffer ion concentration fluctuations during etching, avoid the defects of insufficient complexation of specific ions by a single complexing agent, significantly extend the life of the etching solution, and at the same time ensure uniform and stable etching rate and improve the quality of the etched surface.
[0019] This application utilizes a cerium-zirconium MOF composite, whose porous structure allows for the uniform loading of Cu. 2+ Fe 3+ Increase etching active sites and improve etching rate, Ce 3+ / Ce 4+ The redox cycle synergistically promotes cobalt nitrate, which in turn promotes Fe 2+ Oxidized to Fe 3+ To maintain etching activity, Zr 4+ It enhances the structural stability of MOFs and prevents disintegration in acidic environments. It works synergistically with copper chloride and ferric chloride to regulate the release rate of metal ions, ensuring uniform etching, enhanced stability, extended lifespan, and reduced metal ion aggregation, thus optimizing the surface quality of the etched surface.
