本発明は、銅の電解精製装置及びそれを用いた銅の電解精製方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a copper electrolytic purification apparatus and a copper electrolytic purification method using the same.

銅の電解精製では、一般に、電解槽に供給する電解液に、電気銅表面の外観を向上させるための膠を添加している(例えば、特許文献1又は2)。また、この電解液には、膠の他に、電気銅表面の外観を向上させるためのチオ尿素及び塩酸、さらには膠の腐食防止のための硫酸が添加されている。   In electrolytic refining of copper, glue for improving the appearance of the surface of electrolytic copper is generally added to the electrolytic solution supplied to the electrolytic cell (for example, Patent Document 1 or 2). In addition to the glue, thiourea and hydrochloric acid for improving the appearance of the electrolytic copper surface, and sulfuric acid for preventing the corrosion of the glue are added to the electrolytic solution.

図2は、従来の一般的な銅の電解精製装置20の模式図を示している。従来の銅の電解精製装置20は、電解槽27、電解槽27へ電解液を供給する電解液供給部21、電解液供給部21へ供給する添加剤が設けられた添加剤槽22、添加剤槽22へ供給する膠の水溶液が調整される膠溶液槽23、添加剤槽22へ供給するチオ尿素が設けられたチオ尿素溶解槽24、添加剤槽22へ供給する塩酸が設けられた塩酸槽25、添加剤槽22へ供給する硫酸が設けられた硫酸槽26、及び、これらの各槽間に設けられたポンプp’1〜p’6を備えている。電解精製装置20において、膠は、まず、膠溶解槽23で水溶液とした後、チオ尿素、塩酸及び硫酸が供給された添加剤槽22にてそれらの添加剤と混合させる。このようにして添加剤槽22で添加剤溶液を作製し、これを電解液供給部21へ供給した後、電解液供給部21から添加剤溶液が含まれた電解液を電解槽27へ供給している。また、膠溶解槽23で膠の水溶液を作製する際は、膠の計量や膠溶解槽23への投入作業を人力で所定の作業時間(通常1日に1回)でバッチ処理を行っており、さらに添加剤溶液の調整についても同じ頻度で行っている。   FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a conventional general copper electrolytic purification apparatus 20. The conventional copper electrolytic purification apparatus 20 includes an electrolytic bath 27, an electrolytic solution supply unit 21 that supplies an electrolytic solution to the electrolytic bath 27, an additive bath 22 that is provided with an additive that supplies the electrolytic solution supply unit 21, and an additive A glue solution tank 23 in which an aqueous solution of glue supplied to the tank 22 is adjusted, a thiourea dissolution tank 24 provided with thiourea supplied to the additive tank 22, and a hydrochloric acid tank provided with hydrochloric acid supplied to the additive tank 22 25, a sulfuric acid tank 26 provided with sulfuric acid to be supplied to the additive tank 22, and pumps p'1 to p'6 provided between these tanks. In the electrolytic purification apparatus 20, the glue is first made into an aqueous solution in the glue dissolving tank 23 and then mixed with these additives in the additive tank 22 to which thiourea, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are supplied. In this manner, an additive solution is prepared in the additive tank 22 and supplied to the electrolytic solution supply unit 21. Then, the electrolytic solution containing the additive solution is supplied from the electrolytic solution supply unit 21 to the electrolytic bath 27. ing. In addition, when preparing an aqueous solution of glue in the glue dissolution tank 23, batch measurement is performed on the glue and the work of feeding into the glue dissolution tank 23 in a predetermined work time (usually once a day). Furthermore, the adjustment of the additive solution is performed at the same frequency.

しかしながら、膠の水溶液を添加剤溶液中に混合する場合、添加剤溶液には、塩酸や硫酸が含まれており、動物性タンパク質で高分子物質の膠がこれらの酸により分解され低分子化する。また、膠を塩酸や硫酸と混合させず、中性の水溶液中で、単独で電解液供給部へ添加させる場合、膠は腐食しやすいという性質を有する。   However, when an aqueous solution of glue is mixed into the additive solution, the additive solution contains hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, and the polymer substance glue in animal protein is decomposed by these acids to lower the molecular weight. . Further, when the glue is added to the electrolytic solution supply unit alone in a neutral aqueous solution without being mixed with hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, the glue has a property of being easily corroded.

このように、酸による低分子化した膠、又は、腐食した膠が電解液に添加された場合、電気銅に対する膠効果の低下により、製品外観の不良や不純物品位の増加という品質劣化に繋がる。また、電気銅の品質を維持するために、酸分解、もしくは腐食された膠の影響を回避するために、膠の添加量を増やした場合には、電解液中に過剰添加された膠による電解液抵抗の増加が起こり、印加電圧を高電圧化しなければならず、消費電力の増大に繋がり、問題となる。   As described above, when glue with a low molecular weight due to acid or corrosive glue is added to the electrolytic solution, the glue effect on the electrolytic copper is reduced, leading to quality deterioration such as defective product appearance and increased impurity quality. In addition, in order to maintain the quality of electrolytic copper, in order to avoid the influence of acid decomposition or corroded glue, if the amount of glue added is increased, electrolysis by glue added excessively in the electrolyte An increase in liquid resistance occurs, the applied voltage must be increased, leading to an increase in power consumption, which is a problem.

そこで、本発明は、品質の良好な電気銅を良好な製造コストで作製できる銅の電解精製装置及びそれを用いた銅の電解精製方法を提供することを課題とする。   Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the electrolytic purification apparatus of copper which can produce high quality electrolytic copper with favorable manufacturing cost, and the electrolytic purification method of copper using the same.

本発明者は、鋭意検討した結果、膠を酸と混合させず、他の添加剤とは別に単独で電解液供給部へ添加し、且つ、膠の計量、溶解、添加の各工程を連続して実施することにより、酸による分解を抑制でき、新鮮な高分子状態の膠の水溶液を電解液中に添加でき、品質の良好な電気銅を良好な製造コストで作製できることを見出した。   As a result of intensive studies, the inventor did not mix the glue with the acid, added it alone to the electrolyte supply unit separately from other additives, and continued the steps of measuring, dissolving, and adding glue. It has been found that the decomposition by acid can be suppressed, a fresh polymer glue aqueous solution can be added to the electrolyte, and high-quality electrolytic copper can be produced at a good production cost.

以上の知見を基礎として完成した本発明は一側面において、銅の電解槽と、電解槽へ電解液を供給する電解液供給部と、膠を除く添加剤を前記電解液供給部へ供給する添加剤槽と、電解精製中に膠を連続的に溶解し、電解液供給部へ連続して供給することを可能とした膠溶解槽とを備えた銅の電解精製装置である。   The present invention completed on the basis of the above knowledge is, in one aspect, a copper electrolytic cell, an electrolytic solution supply unit that supplies the electrolytic solution to the electrolytic cell, and an additive that supplies additives other than glue to the electrolytic solution supply unit It is an electrolytic purification apparatus for copper provided with an agent tank and a glue dissolution tank capable of continuously dissolving glue during electrolytic purification and continuously supplying it to an electrolyte supply section.

本発明に係る銅の電解精製装置の一実施形態においては、膠溶解槽に膠を連続して供給する膠供給部をさらに備える。   In one embodiment of the copper electrolytic purification apparatus according to the present invention, the apparatus further includes a glue supply unit that continuously supplies glue to the glue dissolving tank.

本発明に係る銅の電解精製装置の別の一実施形態においては、膠を除く添加剤は、チオ尿素及び塩酸を含む。   In another embodiment of the copper electrolytic purification apparatus according to the present invention, the additive excluding glue includes thiourea and hydrochloric acid.

本発明は別の一側面において、膠を除く添加剤を電解液供給部へ供給する工程と、電解精製中に膠を連続的に溶解し、電解液供給部へ連続して供給する工程と、膠を除く添加剤と膠の水溶液とを含む電解液を、電解液供給部から銅の電解槽へ供給する工程とを含む銅の電解精製方法である。   In another aspect of the present invention, the step of supplying an additive excluding glue to the electrolyte supply unit, the step of continuously dissolving glue during electrolytic purification, and continuously supplying to the electrolyte supply unit, A method for electrolytically purifying copper, comprising a step of supplying an electrolytic solution containing an additive excluding glue and an aqueous solution of glue from an electrolytic solution supply unit to a copper electrolytic cell.

本発明に係る銅の電解精製方法の一実施形態においては、膠の水溶液を作製する際に用いる膠の計量を、膠の連続供給及び連続溶解と同時に連続して行う。   In one embodiment of the copper electrolytic purification method according to the present invention, the amount of glue used in preparing the aqueous solution of glue is continuously measured simultaneously with the continuous supply and continuous dissolution of glue.

本発明によれば、膠を酸と混合させず、他の添加剤とは別に単独で電解液供給部へ添加し、且つ、膠の計量、溶解、添加の各工程を連続して実施することが可能となり、酸による分解を抑制でき、新鮮な高分子状態の膠の水溶液を電解液中に添加でき、良好な品質の電気銅を作製できる。また、高分子状態で膠を添加できる装置および方法であるため、過剰に膠を添加する必要がない。従って、低消費電力化に寄与し、さらに、従来、膠の腐蝕防止用に使用していた硫酸を使用する必要がなくなるため、製造コストの低減にも寄与する。   According to the present invention, the glue is not mixed with the acid, separately from the other additives, added alone to the electrolyte supply unit, and the steps of measuring, dissolving, and adding the glue are continuously performed. Therefore, decomposition by acid can be suppressed, and an aqueous solution of glue in a fresh polymer state can be added to the electrolytic solution, and good quality electrolytic copper can be produced. Further, since the apparatus and method can add glue in a polymer state, it is not necessary to add glue excessively. Therefore, it contributes to low power consumption, and further contributes to a reduction in manufacturing cost because it is no longer necessary to use sulfuric acid that has been conventionally used for preventing the corrosion of glue.

(銅の電解精製方法)
次に、電解精製装置10を用いた銅の電解精製方法について説明する。
まず、図1に示した電解精製装置10において、チオ尿素溶解槽14に所定濃度のチオ尿素の水溶液を作製しておく。また、塩酸槽15に所定濃度の塩酸を作製しておく。
続いて、チオ尿素の水溶液及び塩酸を、ポンプp3及びp4を用いて添加剤槽12へ供給して撹拌混合する。
(Method for electrolytic purification of copper)
Next, a copper electrolytic purification method using the electrolytic purification apparatus 10 will be described.
First, in the electrolytic purification apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1, an aqueous solution of thiourea having a predetermined concentration is prepared in the thiourea dissolution tank 14. A hydrochloric acid tank 15 is prepared with a predetermined concentration of hydrochloric acid.
Subsequently, an aqueous solution of thiourea and hydrochloric acid are supplied to the additive tank 12 using the pumps p3 and p4 and mixed with stirring.

次に、添加剤槽12内のチオ尿素を含む塩酸をポンプp1を用いて電解液供給部11へ供給する。
ここで、添加剤槽12から電解液供給部11へのチオ尿素を含む塩酸の供給は、バッチ式で行ってもよい。すなわち、添加剤槽12で、チオ尿素の水溶液及び塩酸の例えば一日分を一度に混合して貯蔵しておいたものを、電解液供給部11へ供給してもよい。また、当該供給は、連続式で行ってもよい。すなわち、添加剤槽12で、チオ尿素の水溶液及び塩酸を連続して混合し、必要量をその都度電解液供給部11へ供給してもよい。
Next, hydrochloric acid containing thiourea in the additive tank 12 is supplied to the electrolyte solution supply unit 11 using the pump p1.
Here, the supply of hydrochloric acid containing thiourea from the additive tank 12 to the electrolyte solution supply unit 11 may be performed in a batch manner. That is, in the additive tank 12, an aqueous solution of thiourea and hydrochloric acid, for example, one day mixed and stored at a time may be supplied to the electrolytic solution supply unit 11. Moreover, you may perform the said supply by a continuous type. That is, an aqueous solution of thiourea and hydrochloric acid may be continuously mixed in the additive tank 12, and the required amount may be supplied to the electrolyte supply unit 11 each time.

一方、膠供給部16では、貯蔵している膠を計量して切り出し、膠溶解槽13へ連続して供給する。不図示の温水供給部からの温水も、膠溶解槽13へ連続して供給する。供給された膠は、温水と共に膠溶解槽13内で撹拌されて10分程度で溶解し、膠の水溶液が生成する。これと連続して、膠の水溶液を、ポンプp2を用いて電解液供給部11へ供給する。
また、このとき、膠供給部16による膠の計量を、膠の供給、膠溶解槽13での膠の溶解、及び、膠溶解槽13から電解液供給部11への膠の水溶液の供給と同時に連続して行ってもよい。
On the other hand, the glue supply unit 16 measures and cuts out the stored glue and continuously supplies it to the glue dissolving tank 13. Hot water from a hot water supply unit (not shown) is also continuously supplied to the glue dissolution tank 13. The supplied glue is stirred together with warm water in the glue dissolution tank 13 and dissolved in about 10 minutes, and an aqueous solution of glue is generated. Continuously, an aqueous glue solution is supplied to the electrolyte solution supply unit 11 using the pump p2.
At this time, the glue is measured by the glue supply unit 16 at the same time as the glue is supplied, the glue is dissolved in the glue dissolution tank 13, and the glue aqueous solution is supplied from the glue dissolution tank 13 to the electrolyte supply part 11. You may carry out continuously.

添加剤槽12から供給されたチオ尿素を含む塩酸、及び、膠溶解槽13から連続供給される膠の水溶液は、電解液供給部11内で電解液と共に撹拌・混合される。続いて、電解液供給部11から電解槽17へ、チオ尿素、塩酸及び膠を含む電解液をポンプp5によって供給し、この電解液を用いて電解槽17内で銅の電解精製を行う。   The hydrochloric acid containing thiourea supplied from the additive tank 12 and the aqueous glue solution continuously supplied from the glue dissolving tank 13 are stirred and mixed together with the electrolytic solution in the electrolytic solution supply section 11. Subsequently, an electrolytic solution containing thiourea, hydrochloric acid and glue is supplied from the electrolytic solution supply unit 11 to the electrolytic cell 17 by the pump p5, and copper is subjected to electrolytic purification in the electrolytic cell 17 using this electrolytic solution.

本発明では、上述のように、膠供給部16から連続して供給される膠を膠溶解槽13内で連続的に溶解することにより作製した膠の水溶液を、電解液供給部11へ連続的に供給している。このように、添加剤槽12で塩酸と混合することなく、溶解した膠が直接電解液供給部11へ供給されるため、酸による膠の分解が無く、膠を効率的に使用することができる。また、膠の腐食防止のための硫酸を添加剤槽12へ供給する必要がなくなる。従って、製造コストが良好となる。また、連続して供給される膠を連続的に溶解し、電解液供給部11へ連続的に供給するため、電解液供給部11へ供給するまでに膠が水に溶解している時間が短く、膠の腐食を抑制でき、良好な品質の電気銅を提供することができる。また、膠の水溶液を作製する際に用いる膠の計量を、膠の連続供給及び連続溶解と同時に連続して行うため、製造効率が良好となる。   In the present invention, as described above, an aqueous solution of glue prepared by continuously dissolving glue supplied continuously from the glue supply unit 16 in the glue dissolving tank 13 is continuously supplied to the electrolyte supply unit 11. To supply. In this way, since the dissolved glue is directly supplied to the electrolyte supply unit 11 without being mixed with hydrochloric acid in the additive tank 12, the glue is not decomposed by the acid, and the glue can be used efficiently. . Moreover, it is not necessary to supply sulfuric acid for preventing the corrosion of glue to the additive tank 12. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is good. In addition, since the continuously supplied glue is continuously dissolved and continuously supplied to the electrolyte supply unit 11, the time during which the glue is dissolved in the water before being supplied to the electrolyte supply unit 11 is short. Therefore, corrosion of glue can be suppressed and good quality electrolytic copper can be provided. In addition, since the amount of glue used when preparing the aqueous solution of glue is continuously measured simultaneously with the continuous supply and dissolution of glue, the production efficiency is improved.
