METHOD OF RECYCLING AMINE SAPONIFIERS USED IN CLEANING ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS

摘要

The aqueous effluent from the wash and/or rinse cycles of a process for cleaning electronic circuit assemblies of rosin flux and other organic residues with an aqueous amine cleaning solution comprises treating the effluent with an alkaline earth metal oxide which reacts with the rosin flux to cause precipitation of an alkaline earth metal rosinate and the retention of free amine in aqueous solution.
