Characterization and behaviour of fluoride-containing semiconductor wastewater with the presence of calcium chloride (cacl2) for optimization treatment processes / Noorul Amilin Binti Saipudin

Semiconductor wastewater contains high organic and inorganic compounds generated from several highly complex and delicate processes. The wastewater is generally divided into three different main streams, i.e. fluoride containing, acid base and chemical mechanical polishing. In this research, a preli...
