Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste liquid treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for producing cuprous oxide from PCB circuit board waste resin powder and copper-containing etching waste liquid. Background Technology

[0002] Printed circuit boards (PCBs), as a fundamental electronic component, are widely used in various electronic and related products. In recent years, my country's PCB industry has developed rapidly, resulting in a continuous increase in waste generated from PCB production. PCBs consist of metallic and non-metallic components. Non-metallic components mainly include resin, glass fiber, and additives. Currently, companies mainly focus on the recycling of metallic components in PCB waste, while research on the recycling of non-metallic components is relatively limited.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 112808742 B discloses a method and system for treating printed circuit board waste. The method includes copper dissolution reaction, impurity removal from browning waste liquid, and organic matter recycling. The system includes a copper dissolution reaction unit, a browning waste liquid impurity removal unit, an organic matter recycling unit, and a copper sulfate synthesis unit. This invention provides a method and system for treating printed circuit board waste that can simultaneously treat three types of waste: acidic etching waste liquid, browning waste liquid, and waste scraps. It enables the recovery and reuse of valuable components (copper metal and organic matter) from the waste. The resulting product has high purity and can be sold externally or used to prepare browning solutions for reuse. However, the resin residue after copper dissolution is not recycled in this technical solution.

[0004] Cuprous oxide is an important inorganic chemical product with wide applications in coatings, glass ceramics, chemical catalysis, and other fields. In the existing technology, Xu Gaojin et al. published "Recovery of Cuprous Oxide and Sodium Chloride from Acidic Copper Chloride Etching Waste Liquid" in the journal Electroplating and Finishing. The technical solution is to neutralize the acidic copper chloride etching waste liquid with sodium hydroxide and use hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent to prepare cuprous oxide. However, this technical solution cannot recycle non-metallic waste generated by PCB.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a method for producing cuprous oxide from waste resin powder of PCB circuit boards and copper-containing etching waste liquid so as to achieve the simultaneous recovery of cuprous oxide from waste resin powder of PCB circuit boards and copper-containing etching waste liquid. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial solution. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing cuprous oxide from PCB waste resin powder and copper-containing etching waste liquid. This method can obtain high-purity cuprous oxide with a purity greater than 99%, a copper recovery rate greater than 99%, and no copper is detected in the PCB waste resin powder after the reaction, thereby improving economic efficiency and reducing costs.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, this invention provides a method for producing cuprous oxide from waste resin powder from PCB circuit boards and copper-containing etching waste liquid, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S3. Add ammonia to cuprous solution 2, centrifuge and wash to obtain cuprous oxide and ammonium chloride solution;

[0011] The amount of ammonia added in step S2 is to adjust the pH of cuprous solution 1 to 1.5-1.8;

[0012] The amount of ammonia added in step S3 is to adjust the pH of cuprous solution 2 to 5.5-7.

[0013] Optionally, the waste resin powder from the PCB circuit board mentioned in step S1 contains 0.5-1 wt% copper.

[0014] Optionally, the copper concentration in the copper-containing etching waste liquid in step S1 is 8-11 wt%, and the acidity is 2-4 mol / L.

[0015] Optionally, the weight ratio of the PCB circuit board waste resin powder and the copper-containing etching waste liquid in step S1 is 80-120:1.

[0016] Optionally, the reaction temperature in step S1 is 25-30°C, and the reaction time is 10-12 hours.

[0017] Optionally, the amount of phosphoric acid added in step S2 is 1.3-1.7 times the total content of metal impurities in the copper-containing etching waste liquid.

[0018] Optionally, the metallic impurities in the copper-containing etching waste liquid include iron, nickel, zinc, calcium, and magnesium.

[0019] Optionally, activated carbon may be added in step S2 before adding phosphoric acid and ammonia.

[0020] Optionally, the amount of activated carbon added is 0.2-0.3% of the weight of the copper-containing etching waste liquid.

[0021] Optionally, the stirring temperature in step S2 is 25-30°C, and the stirring time is 20-40 min.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The method provided by this invention is the first to jointly recycle and utilize waste resin powder from PCB circuit boards and copper-containing etching waste liquid to prepare cuprous oxide. This method not only recycles and regenerates high-purity cuprous oxide (purity greater than 99%) for application in fields such as paint, cosmetics, medical treatment, and electroplating, but also reduces the generation of hazardous waste. The conditions of this invention are mild (room temperature and pressure), which not only avoids the problem of difficult-to-treat wastewater generated by the reaction, but also retains usable copper ions (copper recovery rate greater than 99%). At the same time, it improves the copper recovery rate of circuit boards (copper was not detected in the waste resin powder from PCB circuit boards after the reaction), improves economic efficiency, and greatly reduces costs.
