A second adjustment step 24, a purification step 25, a distillation step 26, an electrolytic dialysis step 27, and a concentration preparation step 28.

要特別說明的是,本發明主要是要針對二次廢液進行氫氧化四甲基銨的回收,因此,該收集步驟21是以一容器31收集一顯影廢液進行氫氧化四甲基銨回收後所產生的二次廢液。於本實施例中,該二次廢液是以一奈米膜32過濾顯影廢液所排出的含有較高濃度廢光阻的顯影廢液。 It should be particularly noted that the present invention mainly relates to the recovery of tetramethylammonium hydroxide from the secondary waste liquid. Therefore, the collecting step 21 collects a developing waste liquid in a container 31 for tetramethylammonium hydroxide recovery. The secondary waste liquid produced afterwards. In the embodiment, the secondary waste liquid is a development waste liquid containing a higher concentration of waste photoresist discharged by filtering the development waste liquid by the one-tone film 32.

該第一調整步驟22是將酸液A加入該容器31中調整該二次廢液的酸鹼值,使其pH值≦7。於本實施例中,該酸液A是選自於鹽酸、硫酸、硝酸、甲酸、醋酸、磷酸、醋酸、碳酸之一或其組合。經由該第一調整步驟22之後,可以使得該二次廢液中的氫氧化四甲基銨離子與酸液A形成四甲基銨鹽水溶液,並使得廢 光阻B不溶於該二次廢液中。 The first adjusting step 22 is to add the acid solution A to the container 31 to adjust the pH value of the secondary waste liquid to have a pH of ≦7. In the present embodiment, the acid solution A is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, carbonic acid, or a combination thereof. After the first adjusting step 22, the tetramethylammonium hydroxide ion in the secondary waste liquid and the acid liquid A can be formed into an aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium salt, and waste Photoresist B is insoluble in the secondary waste liquid.

(Candle Filter), centrifugal filter, or membrane filter with scoop function.

第二調整步驟24是以鹼液C調整該四甲基銨鹽水溶液的酸鹼值,使其pH值≧6。於本實施例中,該鹼液C是選自無機鹼,並選自於於氫氧化鈉、氫氧化鉀、氫氧化鋰等,或氫氧化銨及氫氧化四級銨溶液之一或其組合。其中,氫氧化四級銨溶液可以是例如:氫氧化四甲基銨、氫氧化四乙基銨、氫氧化四丙基銨。 In the second adjusting step 24, the pH value of the aqueous solution of the tetramethylammonium salt is adjusted by the alkali liquid C to have a pH of ≧6. In the present embodiment, the lye C is selected from the group consisting of inorganic bases, and is selected from sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, or the like, or one of ammonium hydroxide and quaternary ammonium hydroxide solution or a combination thereof. . The quaternary ammonium hydroxide solution may be, for example, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide or tetrapropylammonium hydroxide.

In the present embodiment, the resin column 34 is selected from a strong positive resin of a sulfonic acid type, a weakly positive resin of a carboxylic acid type, or a combination of a nitric acid type resin. By adjusting the pH value of the tetramethylammonium salt aqueous solution through the second adjustment step, the resin column 34 can have a better effect of removing metal ions, thereby improving the efficiency of the purification step 25.

該蒸餾步驟26是以一減壓蒸餾器35透過減壓蒸餾的方式將四甲基銨鹽水溶液之水分去除(形成水蒸氣D),得到濃度較高的四甲基銨鹽水溶液E。 This distillation step 26 removes the water of the tetramethylammonium salt aqueous solution (forming water vapor D) by a vacuum distillation apparatus 35 by vacuum distillation to obtain a tetramethylammonium salt aqueous solution E having a relatively high concentration.

要特別說明的是,於圖2中,是先進行該純化步驟25,再進行該蒸餾步驟26。於實際實施時,也可以是如圖3所示,先進行該蒸餾步驟26,再進行該純化步驟25。 It is to be noted that, in Fig. 2, the purification step 25 is carried out first, and the distillation step 26 is carried out. In actual implementation, as shown in FIG. 3, the distillation step 26 may be performed first, and then the purification step 25 may be performed.

參閱圖4並配合圖1,該電解透析步驟27是使不含有金屬離子的該四甲基銨鹽水溶液中的四甲基銨離子與相對離子分離而轉化成氫氧化四甲基銨,而得到一氫氧化四甲基銨水溶液。於本實施例中,該電解透析步驟27中是使用隔膜式電解槽4,且該隔膜式電解槽4之電解透析膜41是使用陽離子交換膜。在以下之實驗例中,該隔膜式電解槽4之工作單位電流量為10~30Amp/dm2,電解反應溫度控制於20~60℃中,電解槽電壓為5~20V。其中,電解透析之反應機構可為:2[TMA]+[Cl]-+2H2O → 2[TMAH]+Cl2↑+H2Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 1 , the electrolytic dialysis step 27 is carried out by separating tetramethylammonium ions in the tetramethylammonium salt aqueous solution containing no metal ions from relative ions and converting them into tetramethylammonium hydroxide. An aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide. In the present embodiment, the electrolytic cell 4 is used in the electrolytic dialysis step 27, and the electrolytic dialysis membrane 41 of the diaphragm type electrolytic cell 4 is a cation exchange membrane. In the following experimental examples, the working current of the diaphragm type electrolytic cell 4 is 10 to 30 Amp/dm 2 , the electrolytic reaction temperature is controlled at 20 to 60 ° C, and the electrolytic cell voltage is 5 to 20 V. The reaction mechanism of electrolytic dialysis may be: 2[TMA] + [Cl] - +2H 2 O → 2[TMAH]+Cl 2 ↑+H 2

因此可得到高純度的氫氧化四甲基銨(TMAH),詳細的操作說明可參考圖4,四甲基銨鹽溶液置於該隔膜式電解槽4內,該電解透析膜41的兩側設置有一陽極42及一陰極43。在陽極42處之半反應式為:氯根(Cl-)能與四甲基銨離子分離而成為氯氣或是鹽酸。四甲基銨離子(TMA+)帶正電,通過該電解透析膜41往該陰極43移動。在陰極43處之半反應式為:四甲基銨離子(TMA+)結合氫氧根(OH-)成氫氧化四甲基銨(TMAH)。因此,在此步驟中,能高純度高百分比回收氫氧化四甲基銨。 Therefore, high-purity tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) can be obtained. For detailed operation, refer to FIG. 4. A tetramethylammonium salt solution is placed in the diaphragm type electrolytic cell 4, and both sides of the electrolytic dialysis membrane 41 are disposed. There is an anode 42 and a cathode 43. The semi-reaction formula at the anode 42 is that chloride (Cl - ) can be separated from tetramethylammonium ions to become chlorine or hydrochloric acid. Tetramethylammonium ion (TMA + ) is positively charged, and moves through the electrolytic dialysis membrane 41 to the cathode 43. The half reaction formula at the cathode 43 is: tetramethylammonium ion (TMA + ) combined with hydroxide (OH - ) to tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). Therefore, in this step, tetramethylammonium hydroxide can be recovered in a high purity and a high percentage.

該濃度調配步驟28是使該氫氧化四甲基銨水溶液之濃度在2wt%至25wt%之間。前述濃度的調整可使該氫氧化四甲基銨水溶液直接作為顯影劑使用。 The concentration blending step 28 is such that the concentration of the aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide is between 2% and 25% by weight. The above concentration adjustment allows the aqueous tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution to be used directly as a developer.
