Apparatus for removing resist particles from stripping solutions for printed wireboards

摘要

An apparatus for removing polymer particles from the stripping solution used in the treatment of printed wireboards comprises passing a solution having resist particles dispersed therein over a screen having openings of 100 microns, where the screen is maintained at an angle of from 40 to 70 DEG to the horizontal. The apparatus comprises a curtain tube consisting of an inner concentric tube with a plurality of holes and an outer concentric tube with a slot wherein the position of the slot is adjustable, a filter comprising a screen, and a pump for circulating the solution. In one embodiment, the filter comprises a cylindrical screen. The stripping solution comprises an aqueous solution of an organoamine, ionic nitrogen compound or alkali or alkaline-earth hydroxide, or mixtures thereof.
