Definitions
- the invention relates to a process technology and equipment for electroplating copper with an insoluble anode, and in particular to a process optimization method and device for electrolytic copper dissolution of the insoluble anode copper.
- the most common existing acid copper sulfate electroplating process uses an aqueous solution whose main components are copper sulfate and sulfuric acid as the electroplating solution, that is, an acid copper sulfate electroplating solution, which may also contain other electroplating aids.
- the copper ions in the electroplating solution are electrolytically reduced to metallic copper on the cathode.
- the concentration of copper ions in the electroplating solution becomes lower and lower, and the concentration of sulfuric acid becomes higher and higher. Therefore, the existing acid copper sulfate electroplating process is mainly divided into two processes: soluble anode and insoluble anode. Different methods are used to supplement the copper source during the electroplating process, and the dissolved copper source is used to stabilize the sulfuric acid in the electroplating solution.
- the soluble anode copper plating process refers to a process type in which the anode gradually dissolves during the electrochemical reaction of electroplating.
- the common soluble anode material is phosphor copper.
- the copper metal at the anode dissolves into copper ions, thereby replenishing the copper ions in the electroplating solution.
- phosphor copper anodes anode polarization and uneven current distribution are prone to occur, resulting in unstable coating quality.
- phosphor copper is relatively expensive, and harmful phosphorus-containing wastewater will be generated during its production and use, which will cause great harm to organs such as the liver when entering the human body. In order to make the wastewater meet the discharge indicators, the treatment cost of electroplating wastewater needs to be increased.
- the insoluble anode copper plating process refers to a copper plating process in which the anode does not dissolve or dissolves very little during the electroplating reaction.
- Common insoluble anodes include titanium coated with precious metal oxides, conductive graphite, platinum and lead alloys.
- copper oxide is generally used to supplement the plating solution of the acidic insoluble anode copper plating process. On the one hand, it reacts with sulfuric acid in the plating solution to replenish the copper ions lost in the plating solution, and on the other hand, it consumes an equivalent amount of sulfuric acid accordingly.
- the industry prefers to use copper oxide to supplement the insoluble anode acid copper plating production line to obtain a uniform and smooth coating, no phosphorus compound pollution in the waste liquid, and reduce labor intensity.
- the patent with application number 201980055803.8 proposes using an electrolytic cell to use acidic electrolysis to dissolve copper as an insoluble anode to supplement the plating solution of the copper electroplating process.
- One preferred scheme is to form a controllable circulation flow system with the electrolytic cell and the solution in the electroplating tank on the electroplating production line, and use an acid-balanced electrolysis system to adjust the concentration of sulfuric acid in the plating solution to enable the copper electroplating operation to proceed smoothly.
- an anion exchange membrane is used to separate the electrolytic cell into an electrolytic anode area and an electrolytic cathode area, and a metal containing copper elements is used as an electrolytic anode, and a conductor is used as an electrolytic cathode; at the same time, an acid-balanced cathode area is separated from the electrolytic anode area, and the acid-balanced cathode area faces the electrolytic cathode area.
- the invention uses a diaphragm as a separator, an acid-balanced cathode is arranged in the acid-balanced cathode area, and an acid-balanced anode is arranged in the electrolysis cathode area; hydrogen is generated at the acid-balanced cathode during the electrolysis process, and oxygen and hydrogen ions are generated at the acid-balanced anode; sulfate ions in the electrolysis anode liquid are affected by the electric field attraction of the acid-balanced anode and pass through the anion exchange membrane into the electrolysis cathode area, and combine with hydrogen ions generated by water electrolysis to form sulfuric acid, thereby increasing the sulfate concentration of the electrolysis cathode liquid.
- the barrier rate of the separator for specific ions or molecules is difficult to reach the ideal 100%, and the assembly structure of the electrolytic cell separator leads to the existence of gaps. Therefore, for the electrolytic cell or electroplating cell with ion-selective diaphragm or bipolar membrane or reverse osmosis membrane separator, a certain number of ions still occur between the cathode and anode tank areas. The phenomenon of mutual infiltration and migration between the two tank areas.
- the anode of the electrolytic cell is metallic copper, and the electrolytic anode liquid is a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate;
- the cathode of the electrolytic cell is stainless steel, and the electrolytic cathode liquid is sulfuric acid; in the electrolytic copper dissolving process, the sulfate anions in the cathode tank area can quickly migrate to the anode tank area solution through the anion exchange membrane under the action of the electric field force, and the cathode electrolyzes hydrogen, and the anode metal copper dissolves and combines with sulfate to form copper sulfate; although most of the copper ions in the process are trapped in the anode tank area, a small amount of copper ions will still leak into the cathode tank area solution of the electrolytic copper dissolving tank.
- the copper ions in the solution of the cathode tank area of the copper electrolysis tank will be electrolyzed into metallic copper by the cathode. Since the copper ion concentration of the electrolytic cathode solution is relatively low, the electrolysis is carried out in the form of fine particles of metallic copper, which is called sponge copper in the industry. These sponge coppers will float in the solution and adhere to the anion exchange membrane, and the adhered sponge copper particles will act as secondary electrodes in the electric field, causing the particle shape to change and puncture the anion exchange membrane, thereby damaging the electrolysis equipment, increasing the replacement frequency of the anion exchange membrane, and increasing the production cost. Similarly, in addition to the anion exchange membrane, the above-mentioned problems will also occur when other diaphragms are used. However, there is no solution for copper ion leakage in the prior art.
- the first object of the present invention is to provide a method for optimizing an insoluble anode copper plating process combined with electrolytic copper dissolution.
- a chemical method is used to improve equipment damage caused by copper ion leakage, and the sulfuric acid concentration of the electrolyte and the electroplating solution in the system can be stabilized so that the electrolytic copper dissolution operation and the copper electroplating operation can proceed smoothly.
- the second object of the present invention is to provide a method for optimizing the insoluble anode copper plating process combined with electrolytic copper dissolution. installation.
- a method for optimizing an insoluble anode copper plating process combined with electrolytic copper dissolution includes an electrolytic copper dissolution process and an insoluble anode copper plating process, and is characterized in that it includes the following steps:
- Step (1) using a copper dissolving electrolytic cell with an electrolytic cell separator and an insoluble anode electroplating cell to perform electrolysis and electroplating operations respectively;
- the copper dissolving electrolytic cell is divided into an electrolytic anode cell area and an electrolytic cathode cell area by the electrolytic cell separator and contains electrolytic anode liquid and electrolytic cathode liquid respectively;
- the insoluble anode electroplating tank is provided with an electroplating tank separator or without an electroplating tank separator.
- the electroplating tank separator When the electroplating tank separator is provided, the electroplating tank is divided into an electroplating anode tank area and an electroplating cathode tank area and contains electroplating anode liquid and electroplating cathode liquid respectively.
- the tank When the electroplating tank separator is not provided, the tank contains electroplating liquid.
- the electrolytic anode metal copper of the copper dissolving electrolytic cell undergoes an electrochemical reaction of dissolving and converting into copper ions, while the cathode plated parts in the insoluble anode electroplating cell electrolyze copper, and the main components of the electrolytic anode liquid, electroplating liquid or electroplating cathode liquid are a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and copper sulfate;
- Step (2) adding the electrolytic anolyte as a copper sulfate copper source supplement solution into the electroplating tank to supplement the copper ion concentration of the plating solution;

Description
本发明涉及一种不溶性阳极电镀铜的工艺技术及其设备,尤其涉及一种结合电解溶铜的不溶性阳极镀铜工艺优化方法及装置。
现有的酸性硫酸铜电镀铜工艺最常见采用主成分为硫酸铜和硫酸的水溶液作为电镀液,即酸性硫酸铜电镀液,其中还可能含有其他电镀助剂。电镀过程中,电镀液中的铜离子在阴极上被电析还原成金属铜。随着铜的电镀,电镀液中的铜离子浓度越来越低、硫酸浓度越来越高。因此现有的酸性硫酸铜电镀铜工艺主要分为可溶性阳极和不溶性阳极两种工艺,采用不同的方法在电镀的过程中补充铜源,利用溶入的铜源使电镀液中硫酸得到稳定。
可溶性阳极电镀铜工艺是指阳极在电镀电化学反应过程中会逐渐溶解的工艺类型。常见的可溶性阳极材料为磷铜,电镀过程中阳极的铜金属溶解成为铜离子,从而对电镀液的铜离子进行补充。然而采用磷铜阳极时,容易出现阳极极化、电流分布不均等情况导致镀层质量不稳定。而且磷铜价格较高,其制作和使用过程中会产生有害的含磷废水、进入人体对肝脏等器官危害极大,为使废水达到排放指标还需要增加电镀废液的处理成本。
不溶性阳极电镀铜工艺是指在电镀反应过程中阳极不发生或发生极少量溶解的电镀铜工艺,常见的不溶性阳极有涂覆贵金属氧化物的钛、导电石墨、铂金和铅合金。在现有的电镀铜工艺技术中,向酸性不溶性阳极电镀铜工艺的镀液补充铜源一般采用氧化铜,一方面其与电镀液中的硫酸反应以补充电镀液中失去的铜离子,另一方面相应地消耗当量的硫酸。尤其在线路板生产过程,业界偏好使用氧化铜补充到不溶性阳极酸性镀铜生产线中,以得到镀层均匀平整、废液没有磷化合物污染和减轻劳动强度的好效果。
申请号201980055803.8的专利提出了采用电解槽通过酸性电解溶铜为不溶性阳极电镀铜工艺的镀液作铜源补充。其中的一种优选方案为,将所述电解槽与电镀生产线上电镀槽中溶液形成可控的循环流动系统,并采用酸平衡电解系统来调整镀液中的硫酸浓度来使电镀铜作业顺利进行。具体是,使用阴离子交换膜将电解槽分隔为电解阳极区和电解阴极区,并以含有铜元素的金属作为电解阳极,以导电体作为电解阴极;同时在所述的电解阳极区中分隔出一个酸度平衡阴极区,所述酸度平衡阴极区面向电解阴极区的方
向使用隔膜作为分隔,在所述的酸度平衡阴极区中设置酸度平衡阴极,在所述的电解阴极区中设置酸度平衡阳极;电解过程中在所述酸度平衡阴极处生成氢气,而在所述的酸度平衡阳极处生成氧气和氢离子;所述电解阳极液中的硫酸根离子受酸度平衡阳极的电场引力影响会穿过阴离子交换膜进入所述电解阴极区,与水电解生成的氢离子结合成为硫酸,从而提高电解阴极液的硫酸根浓度。然而,采用酸平衡电解系统需要额外增加酸平衡电极、酸平衡电源和分隔物,大大增加了设备成本。加上酸平衡电解阴极上析出额外的氢气,由于氢气具有高度的易燃性和易爆性,需对氢气危险源作安全处理。所以,该专利的工艺技术中存在设备投资大、电耗高和有产生大量氢气危险源的缺点。
另外在实际使用中,分隔物对特定离子或者分子的阻隔率难以达到理想的100%,并且电解槽分隔物的装配结构导致有缝隙存在,因此对于带有离子选择性的隔膜或双极膜或反渗透膜分隔物的电解槽或电镀槽,其阴、阳两极槽区之间仍发生着一定数量的离子在两槽区间互渗迁移的现象。例如:当采用阴离子交换膜作为电解溶铜槽的分隔物时,电解槽的阳极为金属铜,电解阳极液为硫酸与硫酸铜的混合液;另电解槽的阴极为不锈钢,电解阴极液为硫酸;在电解溶铜过程中,阴极槽区的硫酸根阴离子会在电场力作用下能迅速通过阴离子交换膜迁移到阳极槽区溶液中,阴极电析出氢气,另阳极金属铜溶解与硫酸根结合生成硫酸铜;过程中的铜离子虽然大部分被截留在阳极槽区,但仍有少量铜离子会渗漏进入到电解溶铜槽的阴极槽区溶液中。随着电解溶铜的进行和渗移到阴极槽区中的铜离子积累,会使电解溶铜槽阴极槽区溶液的铜离子被阴极电析出金属铜。由于电解阴极液的铜离子浓度比较低,电析出为微细颗粒形态金属铜,行业上称之为海绵铜。这些海绵铜会在溶液中漂浮并粘附到阴离子交换膜上,而所粘附的海绵铜颗粒处在电场中起到二次电极作用使颗粒形状发生变化会将阴离子交换膜刺破,从而损坏电解设备,令阴离子交换膜的更换频率变高从而增加生产成本。同样,除了阴离子交换膜以外,采用其它隔膜也会出现上述问题。然而,现有技术中暂未有针对铜离子渗漏的解决方案。
发明内容
本发明的第一个目的是提供一种结合电解溶铜的不溶性阳极镀铜工艺优化方法,在通过酸性电解溶铜为酸性不溶性阳极电镀铜工艺中的酸性镀液补充铜离子时,使用化学方法改善因铜离子渗漏而造成的设备损坏,并能稳定系统中电解液和电镀液的硫酸浓度使电解溶铜作业和电镀铜作业顺利进行。
本发明的第二个目的是提供一种用于结合电解溶铜的不溶性阳极镀铜工艺优化方法
的装置。
本发明为达到第一个目的采用的技术方案是:
一种结合电解溶铜的不溶性阳极镀铜工艺优化方法,包括电解溶铜工艺和不溶性阳极电镀铜工艺,其特征在于,包括以下步骤:
步骤(1):采用带有电解槽分隔物的溶铜电解槽和不溶性阳极电镀槽分别进行电解和电镀作业;
所述的溶铜电解槽被所述电解槽分隔物分隔成电解阳极槽区和电解阴极槽区并分别盛装有电解阳极液和电解阴极液;
所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有电镀槽分隔物或者不设电镀槽分隔物,当设有电镀槽分隔物时其被分隔成电镀阳极槽区和电镀阴极槽区并分别盛装有电镀阳极液和电镀阴极液,当不设电镀槽分隔物时其槽内盛装有电镀液;
生产作业时,所述的溶铜电解槽的电解阳极金属铜发生溶解变为铜离子的电化学反应,而所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中的阴极镀件电析出铜,所述的电解阳极液、电镀液或电镀阴极液的主成分为硫酸和硫酸铜的混合溶液;
步骤(2):将所述的电解阳极液作为硫酸铜铜源补充液加入到电镀槽中对镀液进行铜离子浓度补充;而且,
当电镀槽不设电镀槽分隔物时,另取出部分或者全部所述的电解阴极液与除铜剂反应;当电镀槽设有电镀槽分隔物时,则另取出部分或者全部所述的电解阴极液和/或电镀阳极液与除铜剂反应,然后对反应液作固液分离得到难溶的固体铜盐和含硫酸的滤液,将所述的含硫酸的滤液加投到所述的电解阳极液和/或电解阴极液和/或电镀阳极液中,以便使电解作业和电镀作业持续进行。
本发明中的阳极溶铜电解槽是制备硫酸铜和/或调配硫酸铜溶液浓度的设备;不溶性阳极电镀槽是用于酸性硫酸铜电镀工艺的电镀槽,其镀件与电镀槽电源的负极连接并沉浸于电镀槽的电镀液或者阴极槽区镀液中。随着溶铜电解槽中电解溶铜反应的进行,电解阳极液中的铜离子浓度不断上升,达到工艺控制设定的铜离子浓度后作为硫酸铜铜源补充液加入酸性硫酸铜电镀液中。
本发明采用酸性电解溶铜和酸性硫酸铜的不溶性阳极电镀铜两个工艺作生产结合,采取除铜剂从部分电解阴极液和/或电镀阳极液中得到硫酸浓度更高的溶液,并且将其用于调整电解液和/或电镀槽中溶液的硫酸浓度,和改善作业过程中因离子渗漏而造成所述的溶铜电解槽阴极槽区中的铜离子积累导致电解槽阴极上电析出海绵铜而损坏电解分隔
物的问题。
在本发明的方案中,采用主成分为硫酸和硫酸铜的混合溶液,或者主成分为硫酸的溶液来作为初始加投的电解阳极液都可以实现本发明的目的。所述的电镀液和电镀阴极液为酸性硫酸铜电镀液。所述的电解阴极液和电镀阳极液为含有硫酸的水溶液。所述电解阴极液和电镀阳极液中的硫酸主要用于为溶液提供离子建立电场,以令电解溶铜反应和电镀反应顺利进行,其中有硫酸存在时均能实现本发明的目的,硫酸浓度按质量百分比为不低于0.1%时则能更稳定地维持电解和电镀作业。通常而言,作业过程中所述的溶铜电解槽的电解阴极会电析出氢气,而电镀槽的不溶性阳极会电析出氧气。
本发明所述的电解槽分隔物选为阴离子交换膜、双极膜、反渗透膜片中的至少一种,所述的电镀槽分隔物选为阴离子交换膜、双极膜、反渗透膜片中的至少一种。
作为本发明一种优选的实施方式:当所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中不设电镀槽分隔物时,所述的电解槽分隔物选为双极膜和/或反渗透膜片;当所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有阴离子交换膜作为电镀槽分隔物时,所述的电解槽分隔物选为阴离子交换膜;当所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有双极膜和/或反渗透膜片作为电镀槽分隔物时,所述的电解槽分隔物选为双极膜和/或反渗透膜片。
采用双极膜和/或反渗透膜片作为电解槽分隔物时,除了少量渗漏以外,电解阳极区中的铜离子和硫酸根离子能被有效阻止进入电解阴极区,但其电解作业耗电量比采用阴离子交换膜作为电解槽分隔物时更大。
采用阴离子交换膜作为电解槽分隔物时,电解阳极区中的铜离子少量渗漏进入电解阴极槽区,电解阴极槽区的硫酸根离子会受电场引力穿过阴离子交换膜进入电解阳极槽区中。此时在所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有阴离子交换膜作为电镀槽分隔物,能令电镀阴极液中的部分硫酸根离子受电场引力穿过阴离子交换膜进入电镀阳极槽区中,从而避免硫酸根离子在电镀阴极液中不断累积。长时间进行电解作业时,为了维持电解阴极液中的电解质含量使电解作业顺利进行,需要向电解阴极槽区补充硫酸根离子。向电解阴极槽区补充加投含有硫酸根的水溶液均可实现上述目的,优选将电镀阳极液加入电解阴极液中,或者将电镀阳极液和电解阴极液作混和。
步骤(1)中,当所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有电镀槽分隔物并将其分为电镀阳极槽区和电镀阴极槽区时,这样的结构改进有三大优点:第一,电镀槽采用隔膜分隔结构,能减少电镀阴极液中的电镀光亮剂损耗;第二,能对电镀槽阳极所电析的氧气集中收取作再利用;第三,减少阳极氧化性气体对阴极腐蚀。
优选地,所述的电解槽分隔物和电镀槽分隔物均选用阴离子交换膜。选用阴离子交换膜有如下优点:第一点,阴离子交换膜价格适中和生产耐用,并且其电解或电镀的槽压与双极膜或反渗透膜相比较其槽压较低节省电能;第二点,电镀阴极液中氯离子浓度过高时,可以利用所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽的阳极在电镀作业时将电镀阴极液中多余的氯离子引迁到阳极槽区中,并电析出氯气排除出电镀系统外,减少镀液中多余的氯离子避免影响生产质量。
步骤(2)中所述的除铜剂为草酸。按工艺要求抽取部分或全部所述电解阴极液与草酸混合,使其中的硫酸铜与草酸反应得到铜盐沉淀物草酸铜并生成硫酸。或者在所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有电镀槽分隔物,且采用将电镀阳极液加入电解阴极液中的方案或者采用将电镀阳极液和电解阴极液作混和的方案时,按工艺要求抽取部分或全部所述电解阴极液和/或电镀阳极液与草酸混合进行反应。所述除铜剂草酸与硫酸铜的化学反应原理如下所示。
草酸与硫酸铜的反应:CuSO4+H2C2O4→H2SO4+CuC2O4↓。
溶铜电解槽中电解阴极液的铜离子累积速度与溶铜电解槽分隔物的性能、槽的安装工艺水平和溶铜使用电流的大小有关。一般在正常的生产状况下可将单位时间内渗漏的铜离子数量视为一常数,因此电解阴极液的铜离子积累速度主要决定于溶铜的功率大小。所以,抽取电解阴极液作除铜处理的频率和反应量可按具体工艺情况和要求进行设定。优选地,根据实际工艺情况和要求,按预先设定的时间控制抽取电解阴极液作除铜处理。
将除铜反应液作固液分离得到难溶的固体铜盐和含硫酸的滤液。所述含硫酸的滤液其硫酸浓度较与除铜剂反应前得到提升,下文称富含硫酸滤液,所述滤液还可能含有未反应的硫酸铜和/或残余草酸和/或溶液中原来含有的其他化学品。所述的溶铜电解槽采用不同的电解槽分隔物和所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽采用不同的电镀槽分隔物而产生出多种不同的化学反应条件下,将所述的富含硫酸的滤液根据实际工艺设定的硫酸浓度要求补入电解阳极液和/或电解阴极液和/或电镀阳极液中,以稳定各溶液中的硫酸浓度,确保电解反应和电镀反应的顺利进行。
当向反应液中投入过量的草酸时,所得富含硫酸的滤液含有未反应的草酸;将该滤液投回到溶铜电解槽和/或电镀槽中使用时,其中的草酸会与槽中溶液的铜离子进行化学反应产出其中固体产物草酸铜,造成电解槽或电镀槽的分隔膜堵塞,影响设备的正常运行。因此,优选除铜剂草酸的加投量不超过反应溶液中所需去除铜离子的反应摩尔数量。
作为本发明一种优选的实施方式,所述的溶铜电解槽的电解阳极槽区中设置阳极钛
篮及阳极袋,用于盛装金属铜块,将阳极钛篮与溶铜电解槽电源正极连接,并将阳极钛篮浸置在电解阳极液中。
本发明可以作以下改进:在电解阳极槽区和不设电镀槽分隔物的不溶性阳极电镀槽之间,或者在电解阳极槽区和设有电镀槽分隔物的不溶性阳极电镀槽电镀阴极槽区之间,增设液流循环回路,使电解阳极液和电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)通过流动进行混合,使经过电镀作业后铜离子浓度降低且硫酸浓度升高的电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)参与到电解溶铜反应中来制造硫酸铜铜源补充液。
本发明可以进一步作以下改进:在电解阳极槽区和不设电镀槽分隔物的不溶性阳极电镀槽之间,或者在电解阳极槽区和设有电镀槽分隔物的不溶性阳极电镀槽电镀阴极槽区之间,增设电解阳极液和电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)的溶液混合交换槽,使电解阳极液和电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)通过流动进行混合令其铜离子浓度得到调整。
本发明可以进一步作以下改进:增设连接溶铜电解槽电解阳极槽区的电解阳极液循环槽,并将从电镀槽溢出的电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)引流到电解阳极液循环槽中参与溶铜电解槽的阳极溶铜电化学反应,来制造硫酸铜铜源补充液。
本发明可以作以下改进:对所述电解阴极液或者对所述电解阴极液与电镀阳极液的混合液作氧化处理,以氧化正漂浮于电解阴极液中的金属铜微粒使其变为氧化铜后与硫酸反应生成硫酸铜,也能有效地减少溶铜电解槽分隔物的损坏。
优选地,采用氧气和/或臭氧和/或双氧水对所述电解阴极液或者对所述电解阴极液与电镀阳极液的混合液作氧化处理。
更优选地,采用电镀槽阳极所电析的氧气对所述电解阴极液作氧化处理。
更优选地,采用气液混合装置促进氧气和/或臭氧对所述电解阴极液或者对所述电解阴极液与电镀阳极液的混合液作氧化处理,以加速电解阴极液中的金属铜微粒变为氧化铜随后与硫酸反应生成硫酸铜,更有效地减少溶铜电解槽分隔物的损坏。所述的气液混合装置优选为真空射流器和/或喷淋塔。
本发明人研发时发现,当没有对所述电解阴极液或者对所述电解阴极液和电镀阳极液的混合液作氧化处理时,令所述电解阴极液的铜离子浓度保持不超过10g/L能较好地使电解和电镀作业持续进行。而当对所述电解阴极液或者对所述电解阴极液和电镀阳极液的混合液作氧化处理时,则所述电解阴极液的铜离子浓度更高的情况下仍能较好地持续进行电解和电镀作业。因此,作为本发明一种优选的实施方式,保持所述电解阴极液的铜离子浓度不超过10g/L,和/或对所述电解阴极液或者对所述电解阴极液和电镀阳极液
的混合液作氧化处理。
本发明可以作以下改进:所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有电镀槽分隔物,且在电解阴极槽区和电镀阳极槽区之间增设液流循环回路,使上述两种溶液通过流动进行混合令其硫酸浓度得到调整,并使电镀阳极槽区电析的氧气得以对电解阴极液作氧化处理。此优选方案还具备以下优点:(1)将电镀阳极槽区所电析的氧气通过溶液的混合交换带进到电解阴极液中,以对电解阴极液作氧化;(2)使溶铜电解槽在工作中实现含氧电解阴极液,降低溶铜槽压节省电能;(3)利用电镀阳极对来自于富含硫酸的滤液的残余草酸作氧化消除,进一步避免草酸与槽中溶液的铜离子进行化学反应产出其中固体产物草酸铜并造成电解槽或电镀槽的分隔膜堵塞。当所述的电解槽分隔物和电镀槽分隔物均选用阴离子交换膜时,还能令电镀阴极液的硫酸根在电镀过程中迁移到电镀阳极槽区中再通过溶液混合交换槽进入到溶铜电解槽的电解阴极液中,使溶铜电解槽工作时直接得到硫酸补充。
本发明可以进一步作以下改进:所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽中设有电镀槽分隔物,且在电解阴极槽区和电镀阳极槽区之间增设溶铜电解槽阴极液和电镀槽阳极液的溶液混合交换槽,使上述两种溶液在溶液混合交换槽中进行混合。此方案能更好地令其硫酸浓度得到调整,同时得以直接从溶液混合交换槽抽取溶液作除铜处理,并能在除铜处理后将所述的富含硫酸的滤液回投到溶液交换混合槽中作循环回用。
本发明还可以作以下改进:在电解阴极槽区和电镀阳极槽区之间设有溶液混合交换槽的情况下,增设固液分离器分别对从溶液交换槽回流到溶铜电解槽和电镀槽的溶液作固液分离处理,以减少固体铜粒和草酸铜进入溶铜电解槽和电镀槽中。
本发明还可以作以下改进:将铜离子浓度较高的硫酸铜铜源补充液加投到所述的电镀阴极液中对铜离子浓度作补充前,对硫酸铜铜源补充液进行固液分离处理去除固体杂质,以确保电镀质量。
本发明还可以作以下改进:当电解阳极液的铜离子浓度在仅靠电解溶铜反应难以达到设定浓度的情况下,向电解阳极液和/或电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)加投氧化铜作为辅助补充铜源,加速提升电解阳极液和/或电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)中的铜离子浓度,使其达到工艺设定值。优选地,向所述的不溶性阳极电镀槽或者其电镀阴极区、溶铜电解槽的电解阳极槽区、电解阳极液循环槽、电解阳极液和电镀液(或者电镀阴极液)的溶液混合交换槽中的至少一处加投氧化铜粉。
本发明还可以作以下改进:当采用含有较多氯离子杂质的氧化铜作为辅助补充铜源
或者由其他渠道带入氯离子杂质时,会因溶铜电解槽和/或不溶性阳极电镀槽中溶液含有较多氯离子而导致电解阳极和/或电镀阳极上有氯气生成,并和生成的氧气一同析出。因此,对本发明的系统中生成的同时含有氯气和氧气的气体作洗涤去除氯气后,再引排出系统外或者将余下的氧气作再利用。
本发明还可以作以下改进:将除铜反应后的草酸铜进行加热处理制得氧化铜,回用到系统中作为辅助补充铜源。因此,本发明采用草酸从含有硫酸铜的溶液中反应制得硫酸及草酸铜,通过令所得草酸铜在含氧环境下加热制得氧化铜,其反应物能全部回用到生产系统中,过程没有新的污染源产生。
本发明的第二个目的通过以下技术方案实现。

本实施例中加投的除铜剂草酸的摩尔量为反应槽反应前溶液中铜离子的摩尔量的70%。
通过以上多个步骤操作并采用自动化控制系统,并且能因充分利用了电镀槽阳极电析出的氧气作氧化溶铜槽阴极所产出的铜碎粒并使其溶于电解液,实现了结合电解溶铜的不溶性阳极镀铜工艺优化的工艺方法,确保电镀作业和电解作业按工艺持续进行。过程中未发现溶铜电解槽和电镀槽的隔膜上粘附有铜粒。
其工艺数据列于表1中。
比较例
如图7所示,为结合电解溶铜的不溶性阳极镀铜工艺优化装置,其包括有溶铜电解槽1、阳极钛篮2、电解阴极3、金属铜阳极4、不溶性阳极电镀槽6、不溶性阳极7、阴极镀件8、电解电源11、电镀电源12、硫酸铜镀液31+32、阀门和泵浦。
溶铜电解槽1中被电解槽分隔物5分隔成电解阳极槽区和电解阴极槽区并分别设有阳极钛篮2(其中装有金属铜阳极4)和电解阴极3,与电解电源11连接;所述的电解槽分隔物5为反渗透膜。不溶性阳极电镀槽6不设电镀槽分隔物,其内设有不溶性阳极7、阴极镀件8,连通电镀电源12。
接通电解电源11和电镀电源12开始作业。溶铜电解槽内的金属铜阳极4不断溶解,电解阴极电析出氢气和海绵铜。电镀槽内的不溶性阳极电析氧气,阴极镀件电析金属铜。
作业过程中溶铜电解槽内的电解阴极不断产出海绵铜并漂浮于电解阴极液中,同时发生大量海绵铜粘附到溶铜槽的分隔膜上影响生产。所以,这溶铜与电镀的工艺结构系统是不能进行持续生产。
其工艺数据列于表1中。
