Recycling systems

Recycling applications in the semiconductor industry are becoming increasingly important. In addition to protecting the environment and health, recycling helps to optimize production processes and reduce costs.

Functional Principle

Inside the system, the mixture of ultrapure water, slurry or other chemical materials passes through several filtration stages, separating the original raw materials and allowing them to be reused. The patented backflush process of the ultrafiltration modules has led to a drastic increase in the service life of the high-cost filter elements. As a result, the filters no longer have to be replaced after a few days. They last for more than a year, thus increasing the cost efficiency of the system even further.

This means:

For the first time, it has become possible to separate wastewater efficiently and economically into its main constituents. Up to 85 % of the slurry and 90 % of the ultrapure water can be recycled to the process. Recovered precious rare earths can be reused.

The advantages at a glance:

Process reliability

By reusing recovered raw materials, the high quality standards in the process are maintained and often even significantly improved.

Cost saving

The reuse of chemical raw materials and ultrapure water results in significant savings in the production process.

  • Significantly lower procurement costs for slurries
  • Elimination of high storage and transport costs
  • Savings in ultrapure water treatment
  • Reduction of wastewater costs

Independency

High-quality chemical raw materials are expensive and rare. Due to a recycling rate of up to 85%, this means that only 15% of the material has to be added again. This reduces the need considerably!

Environment & health

The use of the patented recycling systems makes an important contribution to the protection of the environment and health.

  • Harmful nanoparticles are filtered out of the wastewater and ensure significantly better water quality.
  • By reducing the consumption of valuable and non-renewable raw materials, important resources are saved.

Reusable materials:

  • Ultrapure water
  • Oxide slurries
  • Tungsten slurries (pilot phase)
  • Ceria slurries
  • Copper slurries
  • Lithium tantalate
  • Chemical solids
