- Metal residue ratio (%) 100 ⁇ [metal residue amount after treatment (atoms / cm 2 )] / [metal residue amount before treatment (atoms / cm 2 )) as compared with before and after treatment with the composition. )] was calculated and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. (Evaluation criteria) 5: Metal residue ratio is 25% or less 4: Metal residue ratio is more than 25%, 50% or less 3: Metal residue ratio is more than 50%, 75% or less 2: Metal residue ratio is more than 75%
- the evaluation results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
- the "total carbon number” in the “specific compound” column indicates the total number of carbon atoms of the specific compound.
- the column “(A) / (B)” shows the mass ratio of the content of the specific compound to the content of chloride ion.
- the column of "pH” shows the value measured by the method according to JIS Z8802-1984 using a known pH meter when the composition is at 25 ° C.
- the “residue” in the “water” column means that the balance other than the oxohalogen acid compound, the specific compound, and the chloride ion contained in the composition is water.
- Example 2 to 3 and Examples 1 and 4 comparison between Examples 15 and 18 and Examples 16 to 17, comparison between Example 21 and Example 22, Examples 24 and From the comparison between 26 and Examples 25 and 27 to 28, and the comparison between Example 38 and Examples 37 and 40
- the content of the specific compound is 3.0 with respect to the total mass of the composition. It was confirmed that the metal residue removing ability was more excellent when the content was ⁇ 25.0% by mass. From the comparison between Example 1 and the like and Example 43, it was confirmed that when the composition further contains chloride ions, the metal residue removing ability is more excellent. From the comparison between Examples 1 and the like and Examples 39 to 40, when the chloride ion content is 0.001 to 5.00% by mass with respect to the total mass of the composition, the metal residue is removed.
- the effect of the present invention is more excellent when it contains at least one selected from the group consisting of a dipropylammonium salt, a benzyltrimethylammonium salt, a benzyltriethylammonium salt, and a triethyl (hydroxyethyl) ammonium salt. .. Further, from the comparison between Examples 2 to 3 and Examples 5 to 9, the specific compound is a group consisting of ethyltrimethylammonium salt, diethyldimethylammonium salt, methyltriethylammonium salt, and trimethyl (hydroxyethyl) ammonium salt. It was confirmed that the effect of the present invention is further excellent when at least one selected from the above is contained.
- R 1 to R 4 are a group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 carbon number which may have a substituent and an alkyl group having 2 carbon atoms which may have a substituent.
- the content of the oxohalogen acid compound is 0.05 to 28.0% by mass with respect to the total mass of the composition. If so, it was confirmed that the effect of the present invention is more excellent. From the comparison between Examples 1 to 10 and Example 11, it was confirmed that the effect of the present invention is more excellent when the total carbon number of R1 to R4 in the formula (1) is 4 to 15. rice field.
