Special Activated Carbon Solutions for Optoelectronic Wafer Factory
Optoelectronic wafer fabs play a critical role in precision manufacturing industries that require stringent air filtration standards. A clean environment is required for production processes to occur successfully. For this reason, the air cleaning needs of wafer factories are quite high. In this article, the definition of waste gases and the importance of choosing the appropriate activated carbon will be discussed.
Waste Gases and Components in Optoelectronic Board Factories
Optoelectronic wafer factories accommodate manufacturing processes that involve a series of precision operations. These processes may include the following flue gas components:
- Acidic waste gases
- Alkaline waste gases
- Toxic waste gases
- Benzene series (toluene, xylene)
- Ketone series gas (acetone, isopropyl alcohol, 2-butanone)
- Ethyl acetate, methylene chloride and other organic waste gases
Waste Gas Sources and Effects
Acidic and alkaline gases can adversely affect the quality of optoelectronic wafers and semiconductor devices. The corrosive effect of these gases on equipment can cause equipment damage and shorten its life. Acidic components and basic components can chemically react with metals or other materials on the equipment surface, leading to wear and corrosion of materials.
Activated Carbon Absorption and Selection
Activated carbon is a special filter material and can effectively absorb odours or harmful gases in the air. It is usually made from materials such as coconut shells, hazelnut shells or charcoal that have been activated at high temperatures. After the activation process, a complex and dense pore structure is formed inside the activated carbon, which makes it have good adsorption capacity. In high-efficiency air filters used at high temperatures, the active carbon filter provides effective cleaning by tightly adsorbing harmful gas molecules.
Recommendations for Activated Carbon Selection for the Optoelectronics Industry
Factories generally use activated or impregnated carbon with high iodine values and large specific surface areas to absorb acidic and alkaline gases and protect their equipment against corrosion.
Conclusion
When you consider building an advanced optoelectronics factory, activated carbon is definitely an indispensable partner. Excellent adsorption properties, especially the effective removal of acidic and alkaline gases, ensure excellent product quality, making your processes stable and reliable.
