Wastewater Treatment and Water Reclamation in Semiconductor Industry
Semiconductor wastewater generated from semiconductor manufacturing processes typically contains complex mixtures of contaminants, including organic compounds, silica, fluoride, heavy metals, and more. These contaminants can pose significant challenges for effective wastewater treatment to align with the regulatory discharge standard. Moreover, the growing water stress and the industry’s large water consumption have spurred a shift towards water reclamation in the semiconductor industry, reducing its reliance on freshwater supply. Therefore, advanced technology is required to address the challenges in treating semiconductor wastewater and ensure that reclaimed water meets the quality requirements for reuse within the manufacturing facility.
