Definitions

  • Urea (CO(NH 2 ) 2 ) is a very small molecule, very polar and highly dissolved in water. This makes it difficult to be removed at low concentrations (up to 1000 ppb, parts per billion). In most natural waters (well, drinking, and surface) and in recycled wastewater (municipal industrial and agricultural water), urea can be present, depending especially on seasonal agricultural run off, in the range of 1-100 ppb.
  • urea is a very critical contaminant, for during semiconductor device production the urea hydrolyses on the surface, producing mainly prohibited ammonia, an ionic compound.
  • UPW processes include the steps of multimedia filtration, activated carbon filtration, cation exchange resin columns, degassing, anion exchange resin columns, and then reverse osmosis which constitutes a standard pre- treatment process group of a total UPW process.
  • the process of this disclosure overcomes partly or totally the drawbacks of existing processes by removing 85-95% of the low concentration urea in each process step of this disclosure.
  • the process of this disclosure adds to a UPW process the step of using a strong acid ion exchange resin, a preceding step of adding a nitrite to the feed water of an existing cation exchange resin unit, the nitrite being added by a dosing unit for N0 2 , HN0 2 , or N0 2 .
  • the process of this disclosure is a process for removing urea in concentrations of less than 1000 parts per billion from a feed, the process comprising the steps of dosing the feed with a nitrite ion and then passing the dosed feed through a strong anion exchange resin in an exchange column.
  • the improved process of this disclosure includes one, or two cation exchange columns in series, each filled with strong acidic cation exchange resin type R-SO 3 -H+ (Polystyrene cross linked with DVB).
  • the ion exchange resins are loaded with cations from raw water (Calcium, Magnesium, sodium, Potassium,
  • N0 2 - nitrite ion
  • HN0 2 Nitrous acid
  • N0 2 gas nitrite ion
  • the molar ratio of N0 2 to urea should be between 50 and 1500, ideally between 100 and 700.
  • the reaction that then takes place on the strong anion exchange resin is: CO(NH 2 ) 2 + HNO- + H + — > N 2 + C0 2 + NH 4 + +H 2 0
  • the kinetics of the reaction can be increased by increasing the temperature of the feed water up to 30-60°C.
  • a heat recovery system can also be added to the outlet water to enhance the system efficiency, and to lower the water temperature from 40-50°C to 20-25°C. Heating the feed water also reduces the resin contact time, so a smaller resin vessel can be used.
  • the excess N0 2 fed into the process will be trapped in a following anion exchange resin vessel, one that is normally present downstream in a UPW- Pre-treatment process chain. If an anion exchange resin vessel is not present, the excess N0 2 can also be removed by a downstream reverse osmosis process (RO). On the wastewater side, remaining N0 2 ions can be destroyed with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or hydrogen peroxyde or anion exchange resins.
  • RO reverse osmosis process
  • the ion exchange cycle and the urea oxidation reaction changes the pH of the outlet water.
  • the process needs to be stopped and a regeneration process with acid (HCl, H 2 S0 4 , or HNO 3 ) started, followed by a water rinse.
  • the regeneration can be co-current regeneration or preferably counter-current regeneration.
  • the same process control can also being done by a conductivity/resistivity measurement, for the conductivity decreases and resistivity increases at breakthrough at the end of the process before regeneration.
  • the improved process of this disclosure needs only one strong acid action exchange resin column (CAX), but it is beneficial to have a second CAX polishing filter in series with a first CAX.
  • CAX acid action exchange resin column
  • Each process column of this disclosure is able to have a urea removal efficiency of 85-95% over a complete ion exchange cycle.
  • the first process column acts as a working filter and the second process column acts as a polishing filter, benefiting from the remaining excess N0 2 present in the water.
