4. Cleanup of an Aqueous Waste Stream

c. Purification of Wastewater from the Microelectronics Industry

Microelectronic processes consume millions of gallons of water daily to rinse microscopic dirt and chemicals from the surface of chips. Current emphasis is being placed on reducing the amount of waste produced. However, until a more suitable means of production is established, the waste stream must be treated. In this project, a process for treatment of a model wastewater stream is presented.
