인쇄회로기판 패턴도금 박리공정 중 발생하는 폐솔더 박리액은 주석, 구리, 철, 납 등 유가금속이 함유된 질산계 폐액이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 폐솔더 박리액에서 질산과 유가금속을 체계적으로 회수하는 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 먼저 폐액을 $80^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 정도 반응시켜 주석을 $SnO_2$ 상태로 90% 이상 회수가 가능하였다. 주석이 회수되고 구리, 철, 납만이 존재하는 질산계 폐솔더 박리액에서 확산투석을 이용하여 질산을 94% 이상 회수가 가능하였고 회수된 질산의 농도는 5.1 N 이었다. 질산을 추출한 폐액에서 침전제로 옥살산(Oxalic acid)을 사용하여 구리를 구리옥살레이트 상태로 침전시켜 타금속이온과 선택적으로 분리하였다. 마지막으로 폐액 중 용해되어있는 납을 $65^{\circ}C$이상에서 철 스크랩을 이용한 세멘테이션을 통하여 회수하였다.

We develop advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of spent electroless nickel plating solution. Apart form recovering nickel by leaching and enrichment, more emphasis is placed on rendering the waste water recyclable via oxidizing phosphite and hypophosphite into phosphate which can then be precipitated easily. $UV/H_2O_2$ process is employed and the conversion efficiency of COD and $PO_4-P$, and $H_2O_2$ consumption are analyzed. Furthermore, the $UV/H_2O_2/O_3$ process in conjunction with $O_3$ generator enables us to not only save the treatment time by 6 hours but also reduce $H_2O_2$ consumption by 30%.

This research was carried out to establish the effective treatment condition and characteristic of wastewater from the electroplating plant of cold rolling mill by using microorganism. Alkaline wastewater and acidic heavy metal wastewater accounted for 64%, 30%, respectively, of the total wastewater. Highly concentrated thiocyanate was 53890 mg/L as COD and it was 53% of total COD, even though it was 0.03% of wastewater from the electroplating plant. When treating mixed wastewater with microorganism, it was easy to remove when SCN concentrations of mixed wastewater was 200 mg/L or less. While the treatment effect of COD-causing materials was low at the concentration of 400 mg/L or less, it implies that highly concentrated thiocyanate contains a large amount of slowly biodegradable organics. When treating with mixed wastewater, pH was 7.33 at the beginning, but after 8 hours it increased to 7.99. This is caused by ammonia which is generated when SCN of highly concentrated thiocyanate was degraded by microorganism.

When copper alloy is used in etching process for the production of lead frame, the high concentration of heavy metals, such as iron, nickel and zinc may be included in the etching waste. Those etching waste is classified as a specified one. Therefore a customized design was designed for the purification process of the lead frame etching waste liquid containing high concentrations of heavy metals for the production of an electroplating copper(II) oxide. Since the lead frame etching waste solution contains highly concentrated heavy metal species, an ion exchange method is difficult to remove all heavy metals. In this study, a copper(I) chloride was manufactured by using water solubility difference related to the reduction-oxidation method followed by the reunion of copper(II) chloride using sodium sulfate as an oxidant. The hydrazine was chosen as a reducing agent. The optimum added amount was 1.4 mol per 1.0 mol of copper. In the case of removal of heavy metals by using the combination of reduction-oxidation and ion exchange resin methods, 4.3 ppm of $Fe^{3+}$, 2.4 ppm of $Ni^{2+}$ and 0.78 ppm of $Zn^{2+}$ can be reused as raw materials for electroplating copper(II) oxide when repeated three times.

An attempt to recover copper from electroless plating wastewater has been made through evaporation followed by the electrowinning method. From the determination of each element in electroless plating wastewater, the content of Cu was found to be 582 mg/l and small amount of Fe was also contained in it. Moreover, the content of COD and TOC which was resulted from the addition of Rochell salt was found to be 9,560 and 13,100 mg/l, respectively. The content of formic acid generated by the oxidation of formaldehyde was determined to be 7.73 %. As a result, current efficiency was decreased with increase in current density and therefore current density less than $40mA/cm^2$ should be maintained to obtain current efficiency more than 80 %. The content of Fe in Cu obtained by electrowinning was found to be 0.021 and 0.01 % at the concentration of sulfuric acid of 2 and 10 vol%, respectively.

자동차용 고광택 크롬 도금 박리액에는 질산과 유가금속인 구리 및 니켈이 다량 함유되어 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 질산($HNO_3$) 및 유가금속은 고가이며 유독하므로 경제적 및 친환경적으로 반드시 회수하여 재활용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 도금박리액으로부터 질산과 구리, 니켈을 용매 추출법을 이용하여 분리하였다. 수상에 존재하는 질산의 농도는 0.01 ~ 1N NaOH를 이용하여 적정하여 분석하고, 금속의 농도는 ICP-MS 및 ICP-AES 등을 이용하여 분석하였다. 도금 박리액을 분석한 결과 Cu(76850mg/L), Ni(51990 mg/L)이 함유되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 용액 내 질산의 양을 NaOH 용액을 이용하여 적정법으로 측정하였을 때, 질산의 양은 대략 1.02 M 임을 알 수 있었다. 50 % Tributylphosphate (TBP)를 이용하여 3단 추출한 유기층의 용액을 증류수를 이용하여 3회의 역추출을 하였을 때, 원액으로부터 48.1 %의 질산을 회수할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 순도는 99.5% 이상이었다. 질산 회수 후 용액 내에 남은 구리와 니켈은 ISE-106로 구리를 추출하여 니켈을 분리한 후 황산을 이용해 역추출 하였다. 회수된 구리는 NaOH를 이용하여 pH를 조절하고 수산화구리 형태로 침전시킨 후 $N_2H_4$를 이용하여 환원시켰고, 온도와 pH 및 환원제를 이용하여 다양한 조건 하에 구리 분말을 제조하였다. 구리를 추출하여 라피네이트 용액으로 분리된 니켈은 $NaBH_4$를 이용하여 환원시켰고, 다양한 조건 하에서 니켈 분말을 제조하였다. 환원 된 분말은 분석결과 99%의 순수한 분말임을 알 수 있었다.

This study concernes the decomposition of cyanide ion in electroplating plant wastewater and COD variation of photodeveloping wastewater under various conditions. Determinations of CN- concentration were carried out by AgNO$_3$ titration method. The sample solutions were pretreated by passing ozone and decompositions were checked as a function of time for ozone treatment. Analysis of film developing wastewater was carried out by KMnO$_4$ method. Electroplating plant wastewater was also examined at various pH; decomposition rate of cyanide ion was found to increase at higher pH. Time required for the decomposition could be shortened by removing the heavy metal ions under alkaline condition. The effect of temperature on decomposition was studied at 40$^{\circ}$ and 60$^{\circ}C$. The result was better at 40$^{\circ}C$ although time for decomposition was almost same at both temperatures. Analysis of film developing wastewater revealed that COD decrease was faster during the first 1 to 2 hours. However, further decrease could not be effected. The existence of unknown special organics resistant to the decomposition was believed to be the reason.

It has been known that there are large amount of nitric acid and valuable metals, copper in the plating waste solution of automobile wheel. As nitric acid and valuable metals are high price and toxic, they should be recovered for economics and environment. Plating waste was extracted with TBP diluted with kerosene. The concentration of nitric acid in aqueous phase was analyzed by titration method by NaOH solution (0.1~1.0N) and the amount of metals by ICP-MS and ICP-AES. The concentration of copper in plating waste were 76,850 mg/L. The concentration of nitric acid in plating waste was 1.02 M. After three step extraction was performed with 50% TBP, each organic phase was stripped three times with distilled water to obtain 48.1% of nitric acid. Purity of final nitric acid was over 99.9% by ICP analysis. After recovery of nitric acid, copper was extracted with various solvent extractors like PC 88A, D2EPHA, LIX 84 and ISE 106. Among these extractors, 92% of copper was recovered by ISE 106 after 1st extraction and 30% $H_2SO_4$ stripping. Copper ion was reduced with $N_2H_4$ to make metal powders, respectively.
