Vacuum evaporation is used for two primary purposes: in microelectronics for the creation of thin films and components, and in wastewater treatment for the separation of water from contaminants.
In microelectronics, vacuum evaporation is utilized to deposit solid materials onto specific substrates to form thin films. These films serve various functions such as making active components, device contacts, metal interconnections, and thin film resistors with high precision and low temperature coefficients. Additionally, it is used to create insulating dielectrics and electrodes for film capacitors. This process is crucial in the manufacturing of electronic devices, enhancing their performance and reliability.
In wastewater treatment, vacuum evaporation is employed to treat and recycle wastewater across a variety of industries including metal forming & finishing, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemicals. The process involves feeding wastewater into a boiling chamber where it is heated until the water molecules turn into vapor. The contaminants with higher boiling points are left behind, and the vapor is collected, cooled, and condensed in a heat exchanger. Operating under vacuum conditions allows the wastewater to boil at lower temperatures, making the process more energy-efficient and cost-effective. This method is also beneficial for achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), where the distillate can be recovered and recycled as process water, aiding plants in meeting discharge obligations and potentially generating income. Additionally, valuable materials such as precious metals or Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) can be recovered and recycled through this process.
Overall, vacuum evaporation is a versatile and efficient technique used in both industrial and manufacturing processes, providing significant benefits in terms of cost, efficiency, and environmental impact.
