Urea and Ammonia Removal from De-Ionized Water via Steam Purification
نویسندگان
چکیده
De-Ionized (DI) water is ubiquitous within the Fab. Purity and consistency of DI is critical to manufacturing process. Urea is a known contaminant that is difficult to control and has large seasonal fluctuations. Normally stable at room temperature, Urea has a high conversion rate to Ammonia when boiled. DI water is often converted to steam and then injected into cleanroom air to control humidity. We will present data that shows that Urea converts to Ammonia during boiling. Ammonia is a known airborne molecular contaminant and directly leads to photo resist T-topping and wafer image defects. We will also present data that shows the ability to remove both Urea and Ammonia from the steam. Urea was reduced from 2200 ppb to 2.6 ppb and Ammonia was removed from 1468 ppt to 116 ppt.

Ammonia is the chief excretory product in fishes. However, non-availability of enough of water in the habitat, may lead to the formation of urea, in fishes. In the present study, the possible role of urea formation to avoid the toxicity of ammonia under water-restricted condition was tested in Channa gachua. Circulatory urea and ammonia were estimated in the blood of the fishes and glu...

متن کاملAmmonia volatilisation in waste stabilisation ponds: a cascade of misinterpretations?
Ammonia volatilisation has generally been reported as, or assumed to be, the main nitrogen removal mechanism in waste stabilisation ponds (WSP). Nitrogen removal via ammonia volatilisation is based on two observations: (a) in-pond pH values can reach high values (>9, even >10), so increasing the proportion of the total ammonia present as the un-ionized form or free ammonia (NH(3)); and (b) in-p...
متن کاملDetermination of urea in serum by using naturally immobilized urease in a flow injection conductimetric system.
A flow injection method was developed, aimed at the determination of urea in human serum. The system makes use of the naturally immobilized urease present in Canavalia ensiformis DC (jack bean). A column is filled with small pieces of this bean, and the sample (50 microliters) containing urea passes through it carried by a 1% NaCl solution. On leaving the column the stream is merged with an alk...
