pipe 23 of the semiconductor manufacturingprocess waste gas 11 is disposed. Anoutlet 231 is formed at the introducingpipe 23 of thereaction chamber 21. The introducingpipe 23 is fluidly connected to thereaction chamber 21 of the front stage processing via theoutlet 231. The semiconductor manufacturingprocess waste gas 11 is guided and moved into thereaction chamber 21 by the introducingpipe 23. In more details, acover 24 is disposed at a top of the wastegas treatment tank 20. The introducingpipe 23 is mounted on thecover 24. Thewaste gas 11 is guided and moved into thereaction chamber 21 from the top of the wastegas treatment tank 20 by the introducingpipe 23. - A
heater 25 implanted in thereaction chamber 21 is disposed in the wastegas treatment tank 20. In implementation, theheater 25 spaced from and in association with the introducingpipe 23 of the semiconductor manufacturingprocess waste gas 11 is mounted on thecover 24. Moreover, theoutlet 231 of theintroduction pipe 23 is directed toward the position of theheater 25. The area where thewaste gas 11 injected from the introducingpipe 23 contacts with theheater 25 is defined as a wastegas reaction end 26. Thewaste gas 11 is sintered by using a high temperature provided by theheater 25 at the wastegas reaction end 26 so as to produce the products, such as, the SiO2 powders, the WO2 powders, the BO2 powders and the F2 gas. In real implementation, theheater 25 may be a flame heater. A flame vent of the flame heater is the so-called wastegas reaction end 26. Alternatively theheater 25 may be a hot rod. The thing surrounding the hot rod is the wastegas reaction end 26. - An
annular water disk 30 is disposed between thecover 24 and the wastegas treatment tank 20. Aninlet pipe 31 located outside of thereaction chamber 21 is formed at theannular water disk 30. A plurality ofnozzles 32 surrounding and annularly spaced apart in thereaction chamber 21 are formed. A plurality ofwater passages 33 located in theannular water disk 30 are formed for fluidly connecting between theinlet pipe 31 and thenozzles 32 so that the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 can move from theinlet pipe 31 to thewater passages 33 and can be sprayed in thereaction chamber 21. - In specific embodiments, a plurality of
water columns 34 protruding from ring-shapedwater disk 30 and spaced apart at a circumferential distance, the plurality ofnozzles 32 are formed at bottom of the water columns. Thewater passage 33 is fluidly connected to theinlet pipe 31 and thenozzles 32 via thewater columns 34. By means of thewater columns 34, thenozzles 32 are located at abottom edge 261 of the wastegas reaction end 26 so that the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 are diffusion distributed between thebottom edge 261 of the wastegas reaction end 26 and thetank wall 22 around thereaction chamber 21. Regarding thebottom edge 261 of the wastegas reaction end 26 it is a gap H formed between thenozzle 32 and the wastegas reaction end 26. The gap H is used for moving the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 away from the wastegas reaction end 26 so that the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 sprayed from thenozzle 32 can avoid to reduce the temperature of the wastegas reaction end 26, thereby affecting the effect of sintering thewaste gas 11. - Please refer to
FIG. 2 illustrating awater wall 27 is formed around thetank wall 22 of thereaction chamber 21. The barrier of thewater wall 27 can preventing the products, such as, the SiO2 powders, the WO2 powders, the BO2 powders and the F2 gas, generated after the high temperature sintering process in thereaction chamber 21 from adherence to thetank wall 22 around thereaction chamber 21. The aerosolisedwater molecules 13 are diffusion distributed between thebottom edge 261 of the wastegas reaction end 26 and thewater wall 27. - Please refer to
FIG. 2 illustrating at theannular water disc 30 of the inlet pipe 31 awater driver 40 is externally connected. Thewater driver 40 comprises anaerosol generator 41 which can mix the water from thewater driver 40 with the air to form the aerosolisedwater molecules 13. Then, the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 are injected into thereaction chamber 21 via theinlet pipe 31. - Please refer to
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrating that thewaste gas 11 moves into thereaction chamber 21 at the front stage of wastegas treatment tank 20. By using the high temperature provided by theheater 25, thewaste gas 11 is sintered to react at the waste gas reaction end 26 of theheater 25 so that the products, such as, the SiO2 powders, the WO2 powders, the BO2 powders and the F2 gas, are generated after the high temperature sintering process in thereaction chamber 21. When an air flow in thereaction chamber 21 pushes the products to move to thebottom edge 261 of the wastegas reaction end 26, the products collide with the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 sprayed from thenozzle 32. Thus, the SiO2 powders, the WO2 powders and the BO2 powders combined with the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 to make their tiny particle become smaller and to accelerate the dissolution rate of F2 gas dissolved in water by using the aerosolisedwater molecules 13 for facilitating the rear stage washing program to capture and scrub. Thecomponent 28 is a washing tower and thecomponent 29 is an exhaust orifice. - Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that any other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
