[0020] Reference Figure 1-2A water treatment device for removing photoresist comprises a collecting unit 1, a regulating unit 2, a flotation unit 3, a water production unit 5 and a scum unit 4, wherein the collecting unit 1 is used to collect wastewater containing photoresist, the regulating unit 2 is used to adjust the pH value of the wastewater containing photoresist, the flotation unit 3 is used to receive the photoresist wastewater after pH adjustment and perform solid-liquid two-phase separation, the scum unit 4 is used to receive the photoresist scum after phase separation by the flotation unit 3, and the water production unit 5 is used to receive the clean water after phase separation by the flotation unit 3, specifically:

[0021] The bottom of the collecting unit 1 is connected to the upper part of the regulating unit 2 through a delivery pipeline, so that the photoresist wastewater in the collecting unit 1 can be delivered to the regulating unit 2 by the delivery pipeline. A delivery water pump 6 is installed on the delivery pipeline to provide power for the delivery of the photoresist wastewater.

[0022] A stirring device 9 is provided in the regulating unit 2, which is used to quickly stir the photoresist wastewater in the regulating unit 2, so as to make it tumble up and down and move in an interlaced manner, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid and uniform mixing. Preferably, the stirring device 9 is a vertical stirrer, and an acid solution adding pipe 10 and an alkaline solution adding pipe 11 are also connected to the top of the regulating unit 2, which are used to add an acid solution or an alkaline solution into the regulating unit 2 as needed to adjust the pH value of the photoresist wastewater. Preferably, the alkaline solution is a sodium hydroxide solution with a mass percentage concentration of 30%, and the acidic solution is a sulfuric acid solution with a mass percentage concentration of 50%. At the same time, in order to better control the pH value of the photoresist wastewater in the regulating unit 2, a pH online measuring instrument 14 is also installed on the regulating unit 2;

[0023] The water inlet of the air flotation unit 3 is connected to the water outlet of the regulating unit 2, so that the photoresist wastewater in the regulating unit 2 can enter the air flotation unit 3 after the pH value is adjusted. The top of the air flotation unit 3 is connected with an air supply pipe 12 and a tap water supply pipe 13, which is convenient for inflating or adding water into the air flotation unit 3 to separate the clean water and scum in the photoresist wastewater. Preferably, the air supply pipe 12 is externally connected to a CDA supply pipe (clean dry air supply pipe) or an air compressor;

[0024] The water production unit 5 is connected to the upper part of the air flotation unit 3 through an overflow pipe, and is used to receive the clean water output from the air flotation unit 3. The bottom of the water production unit 5 is also connected to a water production pipe, and a water production pump 8 is installed on the water production pipe to facilitate the output of clean water.

[0025] The top of the scum unit 4 is connected to the bottom of the air flotation unit 3 for receiving the scum output from the air flotation unit 3. The bottom of the scum unit 4 is also connected to a scum pipeline, on which a scum pump 7 is installed for outputting the scum.

[0026] In actual use, the collecting unit 1, regulating unit 2, flotation unit 3, water production unit 5 and scum unit 4 are all tank structures, pool structures or trough structures. The collecting unit 1, water production unit 5 and scum unit 4 are all rectangular as a whole, and the regulating unit 2 and flotation unit 3 are all cylindrical as a whole.

[0027] The working principle of the water treatment device for removing photoresist of the utility model is based on the fact that the dissolution and precipitation of photoresist are different under different pH conditions. In particular, under acidic conditions, photoresist is gradually precipitated. The lower the pH of the solution, the higher the degree of photoresist precipitation. To prove this principle, photoresist precipitation and dissolution experiments are also carried out:

[0028] First, take the photoresist waste liquid, then dilute it 10 times, and measure the pH value to be 11.3. Then add sulfuric acid to make the pH = 2.2, and the photoresist precipitates. Then add liquid alkali to make the pH = 10. The photoresist is not completely dissolved. Continue to heat the liquid alkali to make the pH = 12, and the photoresist is dissolved.

[0029] The water treatment device for removing photoresist of the utility model can make the photoresist precipitate by adjusting the pH value of the photoresist wastewater, and finally separate it from the wastewater, thereby realizing the removal of the photoresist. The specific use process is as follows:

[0030] When the factory produces wastewater containing photoresist, the wastewater is first stored in the collection unit 1. The collection unit 1 determines the volume of the water pool according to the water volume and the residence time. The residence time is usually controlled at 20-30 minutes. When the wastewater needs to be treated, the wastewater is transported to the regulating unit 2 by the delivery pump 6 in the form of pressure flow;

[0031] In the regulating unit 2, the volume of the water pool is determined by the water volume and the residence time, and the residence time is usually controlled at 15-20 minutes; during this period, the pH value of the wastewater is detected by the pH online measuring instrument 14, and the amount of alkaline solution or acidic solution added is adjusted according to the result of the pH value detection to accurately control the pH value of the wastewater, and the pH is usually controlled between 3-7, wherein the alkaline solution adopts a sodium hydroxide solution with a mass percentage concentration of 30%, and the acidic solution adopts a sulfuric acid solution with a mass percentage concentration of 50%; the wastewater is hydraulically stirred by a vertical agitator so that the added chemicals are fully mixed with the wastewater to shorten the reaction time and avoid waste of chemicals;

[0032] In the conditioning unit 2, the wastewater becomes acidic after sufficient reaction, and the photoresist gradually changes from a dissolved state to a precipitated state, and then the wastewater is transported to the flotation unit 3 by gravity flow for the next stage of treatment;

[0033] In the air flotation unit 3, the equipment size is determined by the water volume and surface load, and the surface load is usually controlled at 5-10m 3 / m2 *h;

[0034] The factory's existing CDA supply pipe is used to ensure the stable operation of the dissolved air system. If there is no existing CDA supply pipe, an air compressor can be configured as a substitute. The factory's existing tap water supply is used for the inspection and cleaning of the flotation unit 3.

[0035] In the flotation unit 3, bubbles of a certain size are introduced into the wastewater through the dissolved air release device. Since the precipitated photoresist is hydrophobic, it will be adsorbed on the bubbles to form a three-phase foam layer formed by bubbles, water and photoresist. The three-phase foam layer has a specific gravity less than water and rises to the water surface. The foam layer is collected by a scraper device to separate the photoresist from the water. The separated photoresist scum is transported to the scum unit 4 for storage by gravity flow, and the treated clean water is transported to the water production unit 5 for storage by gravity flow, and finally the whole water treatment step of removing the photoresist is completed;

[0036] In the water production unit 5, the volume of the water pool is determined by the water volume and the retention time. The retention time is usually controlled at 20-30 minutes. The effluent can be equipped with a water production pump 8 to transport the produced water to the subsequent treatment process;

[0037] A delivery pump can be configured after the scum unit 4 to deliver the photoresist scum to the sludge concentration tank for subsequent treatment;

[0038] In this way, the water treatment operation for removing the photoresist can be achieved.
