초록

실리콘 웨이퍼 제조공정 중 발생되는 초산, 질산 및 불산을 함유한 3성분계 폐혼산으로부터 개별산으로 분리하여 재활용할 목적으로 용매추출법을 적용하였다. 각 산의 분리를 위해 사용한 추출제로는 초산의 경우는 EHA(2-Ethylhexlalcohol)를 사용하였고, 질산과 불산의 경우에는 TBP(Tri-butylphosphate)를 사용하여 각 산의 분리과정에 대한 공정설계를 위한 기초 data를 얻고자 하였다. 3성분계 폐혼산에서 초산을 추출 분리하고 이후 추출여액 중 질산 및 불산을 순차적으로 추출 분리 할 수 있는 연속공정개발을 위하여 기초 실험 자료와 McCabe-Thiele해석을 통해 최적 투입유량비(O/A), 소요단수(Stage) 등을 결정하였다. 분석 결과 혼산으로부터 초산의 회수율은 90%이상 이었으며 초산 추출여액에서 질산의 회수율은 90%, 최종 추출잔류액에서 불산의 회수율은 67%이상 이었다.

Recovery of acids from the waste etching solution of containing acetic, nitric and hydrofluoric acid discharged from silicon wafer manufacturing process has been attempted by using solvent extraction method. EHA(2-Ethylhexlalcohol) for acetic acid and TBP(Tri-butly Phosphate) for nitric and hydrofluoric acid as a extraction agent was used to the experiment to obtain the process design data in separation procedure. From the experimental data and McCabe-Thiele diagram analysis, we obtained the optimum conditions of phase ratio(O/A) and stages to separate each acid sequently from the mixed acids. The recovery yield was obtained above 90% for acetic acid from the acid mixtures, 90% for nitric acid from acetic acid extraction raffinate and then above 67% for hydrofluoric acid from final extraction raffinate.
