る。The chlorine gas treatment performed in the semiconductor process is performed by an exhaust gas scrubber used for general gas treatment, and the treatment is carried out by reacting an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. Explaining one example of the treatment method, chlorine gas having a maximum of 100 ppm and an average of 30 to 40 ppm is continuously fed into the exhaust gas scrubber from a lower portion of the main body at a treatment air volume of 30 m 3 / min, and an upper portion filled with Raschig rings in a central portion of the main body. 2-5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is circulated and injected from the lowermost liquid layer by a pump, and the reaction is performed while adjusting the concentration of mist in the scrubber to pH 11 to 12, and the gas after the reaction is discharged at the top of the scrubber.

As can be seen from the above reaction formula, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is generated as a by-product. The chlorine compound has a very strong oxidizing power as can be seen from the fact that it is used for bleaching agent and tap water sterilization. Therefore, if the wastewater containing the by-products after the chlorine treatment is sent as it is to the integrated wastewater treatment system having an aeration treatment tank for BOD treatment, there is a risk that bacteria in the aeration treatment tank will be adversely affected.

In particular, there is a risk that chlorine will be generated from hypochlorous acid when a change in pH is observed due to the mixing of some acids depending on the treatment conditions.
