Abstract:A great amount of slurry waste is formed during the cutting process from silicon ingot to wafers. More than 50% of this waste comes from cutting liquids. This study investigated centrifugation to recover polyalkylene glycol (PAG) cutting liquid with low turbidity (<100 NTU). The experimental results show that clean PAG liquids could be obtained by using water as a diluent. Because water with high chemical polarity and strong hydrogen bonding would destroy the adsorption of PAG molecules on particles, and weake… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
