Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of purification equipment, in particular to an electrolyte purification device. Background Art
[0002] The crude copper (containing 99% copper) is pre-made into thick plates as the anode, and pure copper is made into thin sheets as the cathode. A mixture of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate is used as the electrolyte. After electricity is applied, the copper dissolves from the anode into copper ions (Cu) and moves to the cathode. After reaching the cathode, it obtains electrons and precipitates pure copper (also known as electrolytic copper) at the cathode. Impurities in the crude copper such as iron and zinc that are more active than copper will dissolve along with the copper into ions (Zn and Fe). Since these ions are less likely to precipitate than copper ions, the precipitation of these ions on the cathode can be avoided by properly adjusting the potential difference during electrolysis. Impurities that are less active than copper, such as gold and silver, are deposited at the bottom of the electrolytic cell. The copper plates produced in this way are called "electrolytic copper" and are of extremely high quality and can be used to make electrical products.
[0003] When the existing high-purity copper electrolyte purification device purifies and filters the electrolytic copper foil liquid, a high amount of copper remains in the copper foil liquid in the pool. If targeted purification treatment is not performed, a large amount of copper material will still remain in the filtered electrolyte, making the electrolyte unable to be reused later.
[0004] During electrolytic copper foil production, the electrolyte is not clean, which can easily lead to penetration points and pinholes. Penetration points in the circuit board foil can cause adhesive seepage during lamination for downstream customers, causing the copper clad laminate to adhere to the stainless steel plate and making it difficult to separate the copper clad laminate from the stainless steel plate, causing a lot of trouble in production operations.
[0005] Through research and analysis, it was found that when copper material is placed in a copper dissolving tank, contaminants (such as oil and fat) on the surface of the copper material are dissolved, while the surface oil and fat organic matter floats in the liquid. These organic matter enters the electrolytic cell along with the electrolyte and directly adsorbs on the surface of the cathode roller. Due to its non-conductivity, it cannot precipitate copper during electroplating, forming a pinhole or penetration point.
[0006] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the traditional copper material degreasing process for electrolytic copper foil production. The process is as follows: outlet of the dirty liquid storage tank → filter → clean liquid storage tank → fine filter → foil machine → inlet of the dirty liquid storage tank. Although this method can remove most of the dirt, a small amount of dirt will still enter the foil machine and be adsorbed on the surface of the cathode roller, making it impossible to electroplate copper in that area, forming pinholes and abnormal penetration points, which will affect the quality of subsequent circuit boards. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of this, the utility model provides an electrolyte purification device, which can realize the efficient and rapid separation of oil and lipid organic matter in the electrolytic copper solution by setting a separation and purification mechanism between the outlet of the waste liquid storage tank and the filter, solving the problem that although the traditional separation and purification device can remove most of the dirt, a small amount of dirt will still enter the foil machine and be adsorbed on the surface of the cathode roller, making it impossible to electroplate copper in this area, forming pinholes and abnormal penetration points, and affecting the quality of subsequent circuit boards.
[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an electrolyte purification device, including a separation and purification mechanism, which is arranged between the outlet of the dirty liquid storage tank and the inlet of the filter. The separation and purification mechanism includes a spiral tank body, and a dirty liquid inlet and an oil outlet are provided on the side wall of the spiral tank body. The bottom of the spiral tank body is provided with a solution outlet, the dirty liquid inlet is connected to the outlet of the dirty liquid storage tank, and the solution outlet is connected to the inlet of the filter. The utility model can separate and purify the dirty liquid flowing out of the outlet of the dirty liquid storage tank through the separation and purification mechanism, and then filter and separate it through the filter, thereby realizing efficient and rapid separation of oil and lipid organic matter in the electrolytic copper solution, solving the problem that although the traditional separation and purification device can remove most of the dirt, a small amount of dirt will enter the foil machine and be adsorbed on the surface of the cathode roller, making it impossible to electroplate copper deposited in this part, forming pinholes and abnormal penetration points, and affecting the quality of subsequent circuit boards.
[0009] The spiral tank body has a conical structure, and a vortex cover is provided on the upper part of the solution outlet. The utility model can separate the solution by setting up the spiral tank body and utilizing the density difference of each component of the solution and the principle of centrifugal motion. At the same time, the solution outlet is located below the tank body, which reduces power energy consumption and greatly improves separation efficiency.
[0010] The dirty liquid inlet is set at 2 / 3 of the spiral tank body, and the oil outlet is set at 1 / 4 of the spiral tank body.
[0011] A heater is provided on the vortex cover. The utility model can be used to decompose strong oxidants and certain sodium alkyl sulfonates by arranging a heater on the vortex cover at the solution outlet to avoid entering the system and affecting production.
[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

The utility model can separate and purify the dirty liquid flowing out of the outlet of the dirty liquid storage tank through a separation and purification mechanism, and then filter and separate it through a filter, thereby realizing efficient and rapid separation of oil and lipid organic matter in the electrolytic copper solution.

[0027] The use method of this utility model:
[0028] First of all, it should be made clear that the electrolyte purification device involved in the present invention is mainly used for separating the surface dirt (such as oil, lipid organic matter) of the copper material in the electrolyte in the degreasing process of the copper material in the electrolytic copper foil production.

Then, the strong oxidant and a certain alkyl sodium sulfonate are added into the spiral tank body 101, and the solution outlet 104 is connected to the inlet of the filter 300. In order to decompose macromolecular organic matter and improve the filtering effect of the filter 300, a spiral tank body 101 is provided, and the solution is separated by utilizing the density difference of each component of the solution and the principle of centrifugal motion.
