The existing production and manufacturing process was manually operated and the cleaning process was not constant due to poor environmental conditions for several hours, so the production efficiency was significantly lowered and manufacturing cost was increased. In this R&D, productivity improved by doubling the production of 300 units per hour to 700 units, and in this development, manufacturing costs were lowered through this process improvement project based on automotive shoba automation technology.

A number of plating companies have been exposed to the risk of fire due to unexpected temperature increasing of water in a plating bath. Since the companies are not able to forecast the unexpected temperature increasing of water and most of raw materials in the plating process have low ignition temperature, it is easy to be exposed to the risk of fire. Thus, the companies have to notice the changes immediately to prevent the risk of fire from plating process. Due to this reason, an agile and systematic temperature monitoring system is required for the plating companies. Unfortunately, in case of small size companies, it is hard to purchase a systematic solution and be offered consulting from one of the risk management consulting companies due to an expensive cost. In addition, most of the companies have insufficient research and development (R&D) experts to autonomously develop the risk management solution. In this article, we developed a real time remote temperature monitoring system which is easy to operate with a lower cost. The system is constructed by using Raspberry Pi single board computer and Android application to release an economic issue for the small sized plating manufacturing companies. The derived system is able to monitor the temperature continuously with tracking the temperature in the batch in a short time and transmit a push-alarm to a target-device located in a remoted area when the temperature exceeds a certain hazardous-temperature level. Therefore, the target small plating company achieves a risk management system with a small cost.

This paper deals with the effects of the surfactant and preplate process (sensitization and activation) on electroless copper plating on carbon nano-fiber (CNF). Ultrasonic irradiation was applied both during dispersion of CNF and during electroless plating containing preplate process. The dispersion of CNF and flatness of the plated copper film were discussed based on the changes in surfactant concentration and preplate process time. It was clearly shown that high concentration of surfactant and long time of preplate process could promote the agglomeration of CNF and uneven copper plating on CNF.

무전해 PCB 도금 공정 수세액을 분리막으로 처리하여 투과수는 공업용수로 재사용하고 유가금속인 금(Au)을 회수하는 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 역삼투 분리막 테스트 셀을 이용하여 수세액 처리에 적합한 분리막을 선정하였으며 scale-up을 위한 나권형 모듈 투과 실험을 실시하였다. 먼저, (주)새한에서 생산되는 RO-TL(tap water, low pressure), RO-BL(brackish water, low pressure), RO-normal(for water purifier)막으로 투과실험하였으며 그 중 RO-TL막이 soft etching, 촉매 및 Ni 수세액 처리에 우수한 것으로 판명되었다. 따라서 RO-TL막으로 제작한 나권형 가정용 정수기 모듈로 7bar, 25℃에서 scale-up 실험을 수행하였다. Au수세액의 투과 유속은 약 30 LMH로서 가장 높았으나 Au 제거율이 80% 미만이었다. Pd, Ni 및 soft etching 수세액의 투과유속은 각각 약 22, 17, 10 LMH 정도이며 Pd의 제거율은 85% 이상, Ni 및 Cu 제거율은 97% 이상이었다. 또한 Au, Ni 및 Cu 이온이 함유된 수세액 중 유가금속인 Au를 선택적으로 회수하기 위하여 NF막을 사용하였다. Au수세액 중 Ni 및 Cu 이온은 대부분 제거되었으며 투과액 중에 Au이온이 81.9% 존재하였고 계속하여 RO-TL막으로 Au를 농축 회수하였다. 마지막으로 4"직경의 NF 및 RO-TL 나권형 모듈을 연속적으로 사용하여 Au를 효과적으로 회수할 수 있음을 재확인하였다.인하였다.

LCD 모듈을 위한 실장 기술인 Chip on Glass 공정 기술을 개발함에 있어 구동 IC와 기판d의 Al 전극을 연결하기 위하여 기존의 기술과의 연관성 및 공정의 연속성, 제조단가등을 고려하여 Pb-Sn 범프를 사용하고자 하였으며 이를 위해 Al 금속 박막위에 니켈 무전해 도금하는 방법을 연구 하였다. Al 전극에 무전해 니켈 도금하기 위해서는 광레지스트 차폐막을 손상하지 않는 전처리 방법이 필요하기 때문에 전처리 방법으로서 알칼리 아연산염 처리법과 불화물을 이용한 아연산염 처리법을 선택하여 실시하였다. 이 가운데 산성불화암모늄(NH4HF)을 1.5 g/ℓ 함유하고 황산아연(ZnSO4)을 100 g/ℓ 함유한 산성 아연산염 용액에서는 광레지스트 차폐막이 손상되지 않았으며 처리시간을 적절히 조절함으로써 알루미늄 박막상에 선택적으로 니켈 무전해 도금을 할 수 있었다. 아연산염 응액중의 첨가제와 무전해 도금액 중의 억제제인 Thiourea는 도금층의 평활도를 높이는 역할을 하였다. 또한 아연산염 처리를 하기 전에 산세 처리를 함으로써 도금층의 균일성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the removal characteristics of COD, Ni, and P and to derive appropriate operating conditions for the plating wastewater according to NaOCl reaction time and pH operating conditions in the BPC unit process during the plating wastewater treatment process. As a results of evaluating the removal characteristics for raw wastewater by each BPC unit process, the removal efficiencies of COD, Ni and P in BPC 1-1 unit process were 72.8%, 99.1%, and 100.0%. Therefore, the proper reaction time of NaOCl was derived as 21.1 minutes. In order to maintain the +800 mV ORP and the reaction time of 20 minutes, the temporary injection and continuous injection of NaOCl in the BPC unit process were 13.7 mL and 18.7 mL, respectively. It was found that the temporary injection method of NaOCl reduced the chemical cost by 36.5% compared to the continuous injection method. Also, Ni showed the highest removal efficiency of 97.8% at pH 10.5. On the other hand, P showed a removal efficiency of 57.4% at pH 10.0.
