2. Description of the Related Art A CFC-based solvent has been widely used as a cleaning agent for cleaning and removing a flux residue used in a printed circuit board soldering process in the electronics industry. However, the solvent has a bad effect on the human body,
For example, it is causing great damage to the natural environment such as destruction of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Therefore, the restriction on the use of the solvent is a global requirement. In order to avoid the solvent, it is necessary to develop a water-soluble flux that does not require washing with the solvent, or to use an alkali saponifying agent or the like which is a substitute for the fluorocarbon solvent. However, the use of flux is indispensable even if these alternative technologies are developed, and when cleaning printed circuit boards, various metals and organic substances contained in the flux are mixed into the cleaning wastewater, and the wastewater is directly used for cleaning the printed circuit board. Re-use will result in contamination of the printed circuit board.

Therefore, it is necessary to treat the waste water to remove impurities and reuse it as a clear washing water for cleaning a printed circuit board. Normal wastewater treatment is a fine particle removal process,
It comprises an organic substance removing step and an ionic substance removing step. Cleaning of the printed circuit board is usually performed at a relatively high temperature of about 40 to 70 ° C., and microorganisms such as fungi and molds easily propagate in the treated water (substantially pure water) clarified through the above steps. When such treated water is used for cleaning a printed circuit board, it causes clogging of the cleaning nozzle, contamination of the printed circuit board, etc., and causes troubles such as lowering the pass rate of the printed circuit board.

[0004] An ion exchange resin, activated carbon, or the like is used for removing the ionic substances, and metals and organic compounds contained in the washing wastewater are adsorbed and removed by the activated carbon, the ion exchange resin, and the like. However, when the cleaning wastewater is treated for a long time, the load of activated carbon or ion exchange resin increases, and the cleaning efficiency may decrease. Further, a technique of irradiating ultraviolet rays to sterilize and remove impurities, particularly microorganisms, in the washing wastewater of the printed circuit board has been developed, but sufficient sterilization efficiency cannot be achieved only by ultraviolet irradiation, and microbes are contained. There is a disadvantage that the printed circuit board is easily contaminated by reusing the washing wastewater.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Printed circuit boards must also avoid contamination by trace amounts of impurities as much as possible. By removing as much as possible impurities in cleaning wastewater such as microorganisms and organic substances, the printed circuit boards can be reused. It is necessary to clean the printed circuit board. In addition, since a large amount of washing wastewater is generated, it is particularly desirable that a large amount of treatment can be performed at low cost by a simple method.

[0008] In the ion-exchange resin adsorption removal step, metal ions such as lead, copper, zinc, tin, and aluminum in which the metal portion of the printed board is dissolved, which are impurities in the washing wastewater, and organic acids derived from the flux are removed. . The ion exchange resin to be used may be any of those conventionally used in the production of deionized water or the like without limitation, and may be a granular or powdery weakly acidic cation exchange resin (having, for example, a carboxylic acid group as an exchange group) or Strongly acidic cation exchange resin (having, for example, sulfonic acid groups as exchange groups) or weakly basic anion exchange resin (having, for example, tertiary amine groups as exchange groups)
Alternatively, a strongly basic anion exchange resin (having, for example, a quaternary ammonium base as an exchange group) is used alone or in combination. Among the positive and negative ion exchange resins, a hydrogen-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin is particularly effective for removing metal ions, while a hydroxyl-type strongly basic anion exchange resin is effective for removing organic substances.

The electrochemical removal step in the present invention is a step of removing impurities in the cleaning wastewater by bringing the cleaning wastewater into contact with the fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode. The fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode is housed in an electrolytic cell main body to constitute a fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode electrolytic cell. As the fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode electrolytic cell, one having the following configuration can be used. The electrolytic cell is a fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode electrolytic cell, that is, a fixed-bed monopolar electrolytic cell and a fixed-bed bipolar electrode electrolytic cell. In these electrolytic cells, the three-dimensional electrode of the electrolytic cell has an enormous surface area. , The contact area between the electrode surface and the washing wastewater can be increased, which is advantageous in that the size of the apparatus can be reduced and the efficiency of electrochemical removal can be increased.

When the washing wastewater is supplied to the fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode electrolytic cell, the microorganisms in the washing wastewater come into contact with an anode or a cathode of the electrolytic tank or a dielectric or particles for forming a fixed bed, which will be described later, by liquid flow. Then, it is considered that the surface of the particles undergoes a strong oxidation-reduction reaction or comes into contact with a high-potential electric current, and their activity is weakened or the cells themselves die to be sterilized. Therefore, in the electrochemical removal step of the present invention, it is sufficient that the microorganisms in the washing wastewater come into contact with a voltage-applied electrode, a dielectric, particles for forming a fixed bed, and the like. It is not essential to cause a substantial electrolytic reaction accompanied by generation of gas such as oxygen, but rather it is preferable to apply a low potential to the electrode surface where no substantial electrolytic reaction occurs. This is uneconomical because wasteful electric power is used for gas generation reactions other than sterilizing microorganisms, and the generated gas covers the electrode surface, reducing the efficiency with which microorganisms come into contact with the electrode surface. This is because it may worsen the situation.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the anode potential and the cathode potential are respectively set to a potential lower than +2.0 V (vs. SHE) and a potential nobler than -2.0 V (vs. SHE) to generate gas. The electrochemical treatment may be performed while the anode potential is +0.2 to +1.2 which does not substantially involve oxygen generation.
V (vs. SCE), the cathode potential is 0 without substantial hydrogen generation
It is desirable that the voltage be about -1.0 V (vs. SCE).
That is, since a large amount of washing wastewater is generated, the amount of power required for the washing wastewater treatment by the method of the present invention often accounts for a large part of the treatment cost. The amount of power is [power] = [voltage] ×
It is expressed as [current], and when no current flows and no gas is generated, the amount of power is zero. However, when a current flows to the extent that gas is generated, the amount of water to be treated is enormous and the amount of power consumption is enormous. become. When the amount of water to be treated is small and the current flowing is also small, the increase or decrease of the voltage value does not affect the power consumption much, but in the case of large-volume treatment as in the present invention, the slight voltage drop is large and the power consumption is reduced. Decrease. Therefore, in the electrochemical removal step of the present invention, it is desirable to apply a potential that does not substantially generate gas, and if it is necessary to confirm that the processing is actually being performed efficiently, It is desirable to perform the electrochemical treatment while applying the minimum potential required to generate a small amount of gas.

However, the organic substances in the washing wastewater can be decomposed by anodic oxidation depending on the value of the applied anode potential.
Therefore, when the removal of organic substances in the adsorption removal step is insufficient or when it is desired to reduce the load of the ion exchange resin, the power consumption is reduced to +0.5 to +1.5 V (vs.
By applying the anode potential of SHE), sterilization and organic matter decomposition can be performed simultaneously in the electrochemical removal step. The electrodes in the fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode electrolytic cell generally include a three-dimensional electrode and a power supply electrode, and the three-dimensional electrode has a shape corresponding to the electrolytic cell used as described above, and includes a fixed-bed type bipolar electrode electrolytic cell. When using a porous material through which the washing wastewater can pass,
For example, activated carbon, graphite, carbon fiber and other carbon-based materials having shapes such as granular, spherical, felt, woven, and porous blocks, or nickel, copper, stainless steel, iron, and titanium having the same shape A plurality of preferably granular, spherical, fibrous, felt, woven, porous block, and sponge-like dielectrics formed of a metal material and a material obtained by coating the metal material with a noble metal are applied to an electric field. Placed between the power supply electrodes consisting of a perforated plate such as a flat plate, expanded mesh, or perforated plate disposed at both ends, and applying a DC voltage or an AC voltage to polarize the dielectric, thereby polarizing the dielectric. It is possible to provide a fixed-bed type bipolar electrolytic cell containing a three-dimensional electrode formed by forming an anode and a cathode at one end and the other end, respectively. A three-dimensional material which functions as or cathode as the anode is placed so as not to short-circuit alternately and electrically connected may be a fixed bed multi-pole type electrolytic cell in Germany.

As the dielectric, activated carbon, graphite,
When using a carbon-based material such as carbon fiber and treating washing wastewater while generating oxygen gas from the anode, the dielectric is easily oxidized by oxygen gas and easily dissolved as carbon dioxide gas. In order to prevent this, a porous material which is usually used as an insoluble metal electrode by coating a platinum group metal oxide such as iridium oxide or ruthenium oxide on a base material such as titanium on the side where the dielectric material is positively polarized is used. What is necessary is just to install in a contact state, and to generate | occur | produce oxygen mainly on this porous material. Also, as another type of fixed-bed type bipolar electrolytic cell, for example, a power supply anode and a cathode are installed in a cylindrical electrolytic cell body, and a large number of conductive electrodes functioning as three-dimensional electrodes are provided between the power supply electrodes. There is an electrolytic cell in which particles for forming a fixed bed and insulating particles made of a synthetic resin or the like having a smaller number of particles than the particles for forming a fixed bed are almost uniformly mixed. When an electric potential is applied by applying a current between both power supply electrodes in the electrolytic cell, the fixed bed forming particles are polarized in the same manner as the dielectric, and one end thereof is positively charged and the other end is negatively charged to form each fixed bed. A potential is generated in the particles for use, and each particle is given a function of sterilizing microorganisms in the washing wastewater. The insulating particles have a function of preventing the two power supply electrodes from being electrically connected by the conductive fixed bed forming particles to cause a short circuit.

When a monopolar fixed-bed electrolytic cell is used, the above-mentioned dielectric or one of the three-dimensional materials which independently function as an anode or a cathode can be used with or without a diaphragm. To be installed inside. This electrochemical removal process kills microorganisms that easily cause contamination of the ion exchange resin and that easily remain in the washing wastewater. Therefore, even if the washing wastewater that has undergone the electrochemical removal step is supplied to the ion exchange resin tower or the like in the adsorption removal step, the load on the ion exchange resin is unlikely to increase, and the ion exchange capacity of the ion exchange resin is always maintained to the maximum. It becomes possible to do.

Further, the above-mentioned lead, copper, zinc,
Although metal ions such as tin and aluminum remain, tin and copper in the metal ions are electrolytically deposited on the cathode surface of the fixed-bed type three-dimensional electrode in the electrolytic cell and removed from the washing wastewater. Therefore, it is advantageous to provide an adsorption and removal step using an ion exchange resin downstream of the electrochemical removal step because the load on the ion exchange resin is reduced. Regardless of the type of electrode used, if there is a gap through which the liquid can flow without contacting the electrodes, dielectrics, and fine particles in the electrolytic cell through which the washing wastewater to be treated flows, the treatment efficiency of the washing wastewater decreases. , Electrodes and the like are desirably arranged so that the flow of the washing wastewater in the electrolytic cell does not short-circuit.

Even if the anode chamber and the cathode chamber are formed by partitioning the inside of the electrolytic cell with a diaphragm, it is possible to conduct electricity as it is without using the diaphragm, but without using the diaphragm and the distance between the electrodes. Alternatively, when the distance between the dielectric material and the electrode or between the dielectric materials is reduced, a net-like spacer made of an organic polymer material or the like is inserted as an electrically insulating spacer between both electrodes or between the dielectric materials to prevent a short circuit. can do. When a diaphragm is used, it is preferable to use a porous material having an opening ratio of 10% or more and 95% or less, preferably 20% or more and 80% or less so as not to hinder the movement of the washing wastewater flowing therethrough. The diaphragm must have at least micropores of such a size that the washing wastewater can permeate. The flow rate of the washing wastewater supplied to the electrolytic cell may be defined so that the washing wastewater can efficiently contact the surface of an electrode or the like. Since contact with the body and the surface of the fine particles is reduced, a turbulent state is preferably formed, and a turbulent flow having a Reynolds number of 500 or more is particularly preferable.
