The invention discloses environment-friendly
copper etching liquid based on a bio-based material and a preparation method of the environment-friendly
copper etching liquid. The
etching liquid comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 5-20% of a bio-based chelating agent, 3-15% of a bio-based
oxidizing agent, 0.5-5% of a pH
regulator, 0.1-2% of a
corrosion inhibitor, 0.05-1% of a surfactant and the balance of deionized water, the bio-based chelating agent is selected from
citric acid,
glutamic acid and the like and salts thereof; the bio-based oxidant is selected from
dehydroascorbic acid,
phytic acid and the like. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially dissolving the chelating agent, adjusting the pH value to 3.0-7.0, adding the
oxidizing agent, the
corrosion inhibitor and the surfactant, and carrying out constant volume
filtration. According to the invention, a renewable bio-based material is taken as a core, the etching liquid is weakly acidic to neutral and has low
corrosion to equipment, and the waste liquid after use is easy to biodegrade and environment-friendly. Meanwhile, the etching solution has a suitable
etching rate and a relatively high etching factor, can obtain a flat etching surface, and can meet the requirements of a
copper etching process in the fields of printed circuit boards and the like.
