  Abstract

The waste solution, which was discharged from the recovery process of LCD etching solution, consists of 15 wt% nitric acid and 20 wt% acetic acid. In this study, it was conducted to separate acid individually from the mixed acid by vacuum evaporation under -760 mmHg gauge and at 40℃. We have investigated evaporation behavior of acid as a function of temperature. There have been problems that tiny amount of nitric acid were evaporated simultaneously above 33℃. Thus, efforts were conducted to recover acetic acid by vacuum evaporation with adding H2O, waste mixed acid and 20 g/L NaOH for a curb on evaporation of nitric acid. By adding H2O, evaporation of nitric acid was reduced from 7% to 0.78%. However, it was reduced from 7% to 0.25% by adding mixed acid. In view of the results achieved so far, we may expect to separate the etching solution individually by controlling vacuum conditions.
