Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to the treatment of tin stripping solution, specifically a centralized recycling and treatment process for tin stripping solution in a nitric acid-based system. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs), nitric acid-based tin-containing solutions are commonly used to remove the tin plating layer from the circuit boards. When the tin-containing solution's ability to erode tin decreases, it becomes tin stripping wastewater. Tin stripping wastewater is an acidic wastewater with a pH between 1 and 2. It contains 90-150 g / L of tin, 5-30 g / L of copper, 5-20 g / L of iron, 1-10 g / L of aluminum, 15-20% residual nitric acid, and some negatively charged colloidal particles, such as photoresist fragments.
[0003] Prior research, CN120138633A, discloses a method for tin extraction and regeneration from tin-removing waste liquid in a nitric acid-based system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, industrial nitric acid is added to the tin stripping waste liquid in the nitric acid-based system to increase H2O. + Concentration, filtration; heat the filtrate to 65-70℃ and react for 1-2 hours, filter to obtain tin mud and regenerated tin stripping solution, the regenerated tin stripping solution is returned to the production line for continued use; add alkaline solution to the tin mud until the pH is above 13, heat to completely dissolve it, introduce CO2 until pH < 9, filter to obtain sodium stannate solid, calcine the sodium stannate solid at 300-350℃ to obtain tin dioxide solid.
[0004] The actual tin recovery rate of the above process can reach over 90%, but the following problems have also been found in its application: (1) Oxidizing Sn by supplementing nitric acid 2+ It will generate NO2, which will exacerbate corrosion and toxicity, and directly supplementing with concentrated nitric acid will adjust the H2O. + The concentration may be excessive in some areas, leading to the decomposition of nitric acid, which reacts with reducing impurities in the waste liquid, increasing the difficulty of recovery.
[0005] (2) The process does not remove impurities such as copper, iron, aluminum, and polymers, and the process relies on the addition of industrial nitric acid to maintain the pH level. + Concentration leads to impurities in the waste liquid (such as matrix metal ions Cu) during the recycling process. 2+ Fe 2+ Fe 3+ Al 3+ As impurities accumulate, they not only affect the purity of the tin recovered from the tin stripping solution, but also hinder the recycling and reuse of the tin stripping solution.
[0006] (3) The tin loss rate of this process is relatively large, and the purity of tin dioxide is about 90%. 4+The hydrolysis reaction to produce Sn(OH)4 is reversible, and the H+ is maintained by supplementing with industrial nitric acid. + Hydrolysis was incomplete under acidic conditions after reaching a certain concentration, and some Sn was lost. 4+ It will remain in the tin stripping solution, causing tin loss; after Sn(OH)4 is generated, it dissolves and regenerates sodium stannate. After being dissolved by alkali, it is completely lost by insoluble impurities and adsorbed sodium stannate solution, further leading to tin loss.
[0007] (4) This process obtains carbon dioxide by burning sodium stannate solid, and sodium compounds will be generated regardless of whether it is in air or an inert gas atmosphere.
[0008] Currently, the process of recovering tin dioxide from tin stripping waste liquid is relatively mature. Some methods also use calcination with metastannic acid to obtain tin dioxide products. However, the calcination temperature of this method is relatively high, usually reaching 600-950℃. During the process of calcining from metastannic acid to tin dioxide, the residual impurities in the early stage will remain in the final product. Affected by the residual impurities, the purity of tin dioxide is usually between 90% and 95%. Summary of the Invention

The reaction at room temperature produces a reddish-brown precipitate, which is then separated by filtration. (4) Add NaOH solution to the filtrate to adjust the pH to 13.0-13.5. After reacting at 60-70℃, a white precipitate is generated. Filter while hot to separate the filtrate containing Na2SnO3. (5) Adjust the pH of the filtrate containing Na2SnO3 to 6.0-6.5, heat it to 70-75℃ for reaction, and then gradually cool it to room temperature to generate Sn(OH)4 precipitate; (6) Centrifuge the mixture obtained in step (5) to obtain tin-containing solid and tin stripping regeneration solution. The tin stripping regeneration solution is directly transported to the production line for reuse. The tin-containing solid is calcined to obtain tin dioxide solid.

[0030] In step (4), the pH is adjusted using a NaOH solution with a mass concentration of 25-30%, the reaction time is 10-20 min, and a 0.5 μm filter membrane is used for filtration.
[0031] In step (5), dilute nitric acid is used to adjust the pH, the reaction time is 30-60 min, and the gradient cooling rate is 2-5℃ / min.
[0032] In step (6), the centrifugation speed is 4000-5000 rpm and the centrifugation time is 10-25 min. After centrifugation, the tin-containing solid is washed and the washing liquid is returned to the heating vessel in step (5).

Examples 1 and 2 achieve the optimal balance between high tin recovery rate (>99.5%) and high tin dioxide purity (≥99.5%), while the comparative examples show varying degrees of decrease in purity or recovery rate. Specifically: The purity of Comparative Example 1 decreased significantly to 98.7%, and subsequent steps revealed suspended black flocculent matter, uneven color (possibly due to complex formation), and black specks. This indicates that the initial flocculation and filtration step is crucial for removing colloidal and fine impurity particles (potentially carbon, organic matter, or other insoluble substances). Even with multiple membrane filtrations in subsequent processes, some nanoscale polymer impurities can still be incorporated into the tin dioxide product, leading to a decrease in tin dioxide purity and a grayish color.
[0047] Comparative Example 2, where the pH was first raised to 3.5 to remove iron, did not show a decrease in purity, indicating that the order of the reaction has little impact on the final purity, but it does affect the stability of the recovery rate. Furthermore, subsequently switching back to acidic conditions to remove copper results in a repetitive process and low efficiency.
[0048] The purity of Comparative Example 3 decreased to 99.0%, possibly because gradient cooling controls the generation and growth rate of Sn(OH)4 crystal nuclei, which helps to form a precipitate with uniform, dense particles that is easy to filter and wash. Rapid natural cooling results in fine, uneven precipitate particles, the formation of colloids, or the encapsulation of impurities, making them difficult to remove completely during subsequent washing, thus leading to a decrease in purity.
[0049] Comparative Example 4 is a prior research result. In step (3), it was originally thought that Fe 3+ Al 3+ It will be completely converted into sparingly soluble hydroxides (Fe(OH)3, Al(OH)3), Cu 2+ This will produce Cu(OH)₂ precipitate. However, in practice, stronger H₂O will... + Concentration affects metal impurities. Metal impurities (Cu, Fe, Al) may co-precipitate with tin, and the resulting tin sludge is a mixture of various metal hydroxides, which naturally reduces its purity.
[0050] The process of Comparative Example 5 is complex, involving high-temperature alkali melting, and in step (5), acid is added to the mother liquor for neutralization, which may cause impurities to co-precipitate again. Moreover, the lack of targeted removal of aluminum components may be one of the main reasons for the low purity.
[0051] In Comparative Example 6, the initial pH was 1-2, which was neutralized to pH 6. At this point, Fe 3+ Al 3+ Cu 2+ Both will form hydroxides and Sn(OH)4 to precipitate together, resulting in low purity of the final product. The failure to remove aluminum is also a reason for the low purity. Its recovery rate is the lowest, which may also be due to the loss caused by precipitation, encapsulation and adsorption.
[0052] ② The removal rates of copper, iron, and aluminum in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were measured, and the results are shown in Table 3: Table 3. Removal rates of copper, iron, and aluminum Group copper iron aluminum Example 1 >99.9% >99.9% >99.5% Example 2 >99.9% >99.9% >99.5% Comparative Example 1 99.5% 99.0% 97.5% Comparative Example 2 >99.9% >99.9% >99.5% Comparative Example 3 >99.9% >99.9% >99.5% Comparative Example 4 90.5% 90.5% 87.3% Comparative Example 5 99.2% 90.7% 76.2% Comparative Example 6 83.9% 85.4% 76.5% Examples 1 and 2 employed a progressive purification process: first, copper was removed (pH=2.5 to form CuS), then iron (pH=3.0 to form Fe(OH)3), and finally aluminum (pH=13.0 to form NaAlO2·H2O). This ensured that each metal ion precipitated under optimal pH conditions, avoiding mutual interference. Furthermore, cationic polyacrylamide was added in the early stages to remove suspended particles and colloidal substances through flocculation, improving filtration and providing a clean filtrate for the subsequent precipitation step. Comparative Example 1 lacked this step, resulting in ineffective removal of fine particles and colloidal substances from the waste liquid, affecting the subsequent precipitation reaction. Comparative Example 2 changed the order of copper and aluminum removal, but the data showed that the order of iron and copper removal did not affect the removal rates of copper and iron.
[0053] In Comparative Example 4, the process only involves adding nitric acid and heating, without specific precipitation steps for copper, iron, and aluminum. Impurity metals may be partially removed in the form of co-precipitation, but the efficiency is low. In step 3, CO2 is introduced to pH=8.5 to precipitate tin, but aluminum and iron may not be completely precipitated, resulting in a low removal rate.
[0054] In Comparative Example 5, the process only includes partial impurity removal. Step 2, with the addition of Na₂S, removes copper efficiently, but there are no dedicated steps for iron and aluminum removal. Step 3, the filter cake treatment, primarily targets tin recovery; iron may be partially removed as ferric hydroxide, but aluminum is not effectively treated. While processes involving distillation and the addition of Na₂SO₄ are involved, the lack of optimized conditions for iron and aluminum results in low removal rates, especially for aluminum.
[0055] In Comparative Example 6, there was no impurity removal step for copper, iron, and aluminum. Impurity metals may remain in the filtrate or co-precipitate, but the removal is incomplete.
[0056] ③ The tin dioxide powder and sintering aid (ZnO) obtained in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were pressed into tablets and sintered at high temperature (1250℃) into dense discs (1 cm thick). The conductivity was tested at room temperature using the four-probe method. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0057] Tin dioxide powder and tin fluoride (SnF2) obtained in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were mixed with a sintering aid (ZnO) at a doping concentration of 1%. Anhydrous ethanol was added as a medium, and the mixture was ball-milled for 6 hours. The resulting slurry was thoroughly dried in an oven at 80°C, sieved, granulated, and pressed into tablets (1 cm thick). The pressed wafers were placed in an alumina crucible and heated first at a low temperature (400°C) and then at a high temperature (1300°C) for 4 hours to obtain tin dioxide-doped fluorine material. The conductivity was tested at room temperature using the four-probe method. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0058] Table 4. Conductivity of pure tin dioxide and fluorine-doped tin dioxide (S / m) Group The conductivity of pure tin dioxide Tin dioxide doped with fluorine has high conductivity. Example 1 0.84 x 10 2 ]] 8.38 x 10 2 ]]> Example 2 0.85 x 10 2 ]]> 10.51 x 10 2 ]]> Comparative Example 1 0.79 x 10 2 ]]> 8.01 x 10 2 ]]> Comparative Example 2 0.84 x 10 2 ]] 10.26 x 10 2 ]]> Comparative Example 3 0.81 x 10 2 ]] 7.24 x 10 2 ]]> Comparative Example 4 0.71 x 10 2 ]] 6.37 x 10 2 ]] Comparative Example 5 0.70 x 10 2 ]] 6.13 x 10 2 ]] Comparative Example 6 0.65 x 10 2 ]] <![CDATA[5.62×10 2 ]]> The conductivity of tin dioxide obtained by processes in Examples 1 and 2 is not much different. The pure samples themselves have high purity, while Example 2 is superior. During preparation, nonionic polyacrylamide is added to optimize the precipitation effect. Moreover, during calcination, it turns into a gas to increase the porosity of the sintered block, resulting in more uniform sintering. After fluorine doping, the carrier transport is smoother.
[0059] Comparative Example 3 used natural cooling, resulting in a poor Sn(OH)4 precipitation structure and uneven grain size. A possible reason is that this poor microstructure was retained after sintering and severely affected the efficiency of subsequent fluorine doping, indicating that the physical structure of the precursor has a crucial impact on the final performance.
[0060] In Comparative Examples 4-6, the raw material purity was lowest due to the lack of an effective impurity removal step in the process itself. Even with fluorine doping, the large amount of residual acceptor impurities (Cu, Fe, Al) compensated for by the presence of fluorine. - The free electrons provided significantly reduce the doping effect, resulting in the lowest conductivity.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
