The Relationship of Sn Whisker Growth and Sn-plating ProcessLu, Min-hsien 29 June 2007 (has links)
New environmental regulations enforce the electronic industry to replace Pb-Sn solder due to Pb could contaminate our environment. Pure Sn has good material properties such as solderability, conductivity and anti-corrosion. Pure Sn is a good candidate to replace Pb-Sn solder. One of the disadvantages of pure Sn is the whisker growth phenomenon. Whisker problem has become a major concern in electronic industry due to the trend toward component miniaturization and pitch reduction.
It is well understood that the root cause for tin whisker growth is the compressive stress within the tin layer. In the literature, the main stress sources are, (1) the intermetallic layer induced interface stress, (2) the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between Sn layer and substrate and (3) the mechanical residual stress from trim-form operation after tin plating. In our study, we used the electrochemical electrolysis method and Cross-section Polisher (CP) to examine the tin whisker growth mechanism. In the result, we can clearly show the Cu6Sn5 phase grow up in the tin grain boundary regions and demonstrate that the Cu6Sn5 phase formation is the main cause of the tin whisker growth.
We also discuss the relationship of tin whisker growth and tin-plating process parameters that include the temperature effect; Ni underlay effect and tin-plating bath effect. For the temperature effect, the Cu6Sn5 is the major phase at 150¢XC aging. The mechanism behind its growth mechanism was grain boundary diffusion at the earlier stage and then the bulk diffusion in the later stage. The application of 150¢XC post-heat treatment could drive the bulk diffusion and form a layer type Cu6Sn5 phase to eliminate the whisker growth. For the Ni underlay effect, the Ni underlay can block the Cu atom diffusion to the tin layer and changed the tin layer stress state from compressive to tensile. Therefore, the tin whisker can be eliminated. For the tin-plating bath effect, in the sulfuric acid base and uses Triton X-100 as the surface active agent, may transform the whisker type to particular tin grain type. Thus, this tin-plating solution can restrain the tin whisker growth.

Seleção, caracterização e aplicação de novos biossurfatantes produzidos por bactérias marinhas a partir de substratos de baixo custo / Selection, characterization and application of biosurfactantes produced by marine bacterial using low-cost substratesVilela, Willian Fernando Domingues 14 April 2014 (has links)
Os surfatantes, moléculas anfipáticas compostas por uma porção polar e outra apolar, constituem um grupo heterogêneo de compostos de superfície ativa. Sua porção polar pode ser formada por peptídeos, ânions ou cátions, por mono, di ou polissacarídeos, enquanto sua porção apolar pode ser formada por estruturas saturadas, insaturadas ou ácidos graxos hidroxilados, ou ainda peptídeos hidrofóbicos. Essas substâncias podem ser sintéticas, obtidas a partir de síntese química, ou produzidas por micro-organismos, principalmente, bactérias e leveduras, passando a ser denominadas biossurfatantes (BS). O BS representa uma alternativa aos tensoativos sintéticos utilizados em diversos seguimentos da indústria devido a sua baixa toxicidade e alta biodegradabilidade, além de aplicabilidade na descontaminação ambiental. Bactérias isoladas em diversos biomas têm sido muito exploradas para produção de BS, enquanto ecossistemas marinhos ainda são pouco explorados, apesar do grande potencial existente. Os micro-organismos marinhos quando expostos a condições extremas de pressão, salinidade e temperatura produzem compostos estáveis e, portanto, úteis em aplicações industriais. O presente trabalho objetivou investigar novos BS produzidos por bactérias de origem marinha capazes de produzir tal substância a partir de fontes de carbono de baixo custo (glicerol, óleo de soja, vaselina e sacarose). Foram analisados 59 isolados bacterianos marinhos, as bactérias selecionadas foram identificadas e a produção do BS foi estudada em escala laboratorial. Após a extração do BS, suas propriedades físico-química como tensão superficial (TS), tensão interfacial (IT) e concentração micelar crítica (CMC) foram determinadas; além disso, foi realizada a caracterização estrutural preliminar e o seu potencial de aplicação para biorremediação de petróleo e como agente emulsificador. Os resultados identificaram a produção de BS por três bactérias marinhas: Arthrobacter defluvii, Brevibacterium luteolum e Gordonia sp. A partir das análises químicas foi possível identificar dois BS lipopepítidicos (A. Defluvii e B. luteolum) e um BS com grupos glicosídicos (Gordonia sp.). O BS produzido por A. defluvii apresentou tensão superficial TS = 34,5 mN m-1; TI = 15 mN m-1; e CMC = 129 mg L-1 crescendo em óleo de soja, B. luteolum TS = 27 mN m-1; TI = 0,84 mN m-1; e CMC = 40 mg L-1 crescendo em vaselina e Gordonia sp. TS = 33 mN m-1; TI = 1,4 mN m-1; e CMC = 85 mg L-1 crescendo em óleo de soja. Os BS estudados apresentaram capacidade de remoção de petróleo de areia contaminada, assim como atividade emulsificante frente a diferentes substâncias ( óleo de soja, vaselina, decano, querosene, hexadecano e gordura vegetal). Os testes de estabilidade realizados para BS produzido por B. luteolum indicaram que: o BS é estável quando submetido a temperaturas até 60oC por 24 h e até 121oC por 20 min; a maior atividade tensoativa para o BS é encontrada em solução com pH entre 6 e 8; e a força iônica não afeta a atividade tensoativa até concentrações salinas abaixo de 16%. Portanto, os três micro-organismos marinhos selecionados foram capazes de produzir compostos com relevante atividade tensoativa utilizando substratos de baixo custo. / The surfactants, amphipathic molecules containing both polar and nonpolar portions, are a heterogeneous group of surface-active compounds. Its polar portion may be composed by peptides, anions or cations, mono, di, or polysaccharides, while its polar portion may contain saturated, unsaturated or hydroxylated fatty acids or hydrophobic peptides. These molecules may be synthetic, derived from chemical synthesis, or produced by microorganisms, mainly bacteria and yeast, and also known as biosurfactants (BS). The BS represent an alternative to synthetic surfactants used in various segments of industry due to their low toxicity and high biodegradability. The major classes of BS include glycolipids, lipopeptides, lipoproteins, phospholipids, fatty acids and polymeric surfactants. Bacteria isolated from different biomes have been heavily exploited for BS production, while marine ecosystems are still poorly explored, despite its great potential. The marine microorganisms when exposed to extremes of pressure, temperature and salinity, produce stable compounds and, therefore, useful in industrial applications. The aim of this study was to investigate new BS produced by marine bacteria capable of producing such molecules growing in low-cost carbon sources (mineral oil, sucrose, soybean oil and glycerol). The selected bacterial isolates were identified and the biosurfactant production was studied in laboratory scale. After extraction of BS their physicochemical properties as surface tension (ST), interfacial tension (IT) and critical micelle concentration (CMC) were determined; preliminary structural characterization evaluated by FTIR and TLC and their potential application in bioremediation of crude oil and as emulsifier was also investigated. The results identified the BS production by three marine bacteria Arthrobacter defluvii, Brevibacterium luteolum and Gordonia sp. Based on the chemical analysis it was possible to identify two lipopeptides BS (A. defluvii and B. luteolum) and a BS with glycosides groups (Gordonia sp.). The BS produced by A. defluvii growing in soybean oil showed ST = 34,5 mNm-1; IT = 15 mNm-1 and CMC = 129 mgL-1; B. luteolum growing in mineral oil showed a ST = 27 mNm-1, IT = 0,84 mNm-1 and CMC = 40 mgL-1 and Gordonia sp. growing in soybean oil showed ST = 33 mNm-1, IT = 1,4 mNm-1 and CMC = 85 mgL-1. The BS obtained exhibited capacity to remove crude oil from contaminated sand as well as emulsifying activity against different hydrophobic substances (soybean oil, mineral oil, decane, kerosene, animal fat and hexadecane). Stability tests carried out to BS produced by B. luteolum indicated that: the BS is stable when submitted to temperatures down to 60° C for 24 h to 121° C for 20 min; the higher activity to the BS is found in solution with pH between 6 and 8; and the ionic strength does not affect the surfactant activity until salt concentrations under 16%. Therefore, the three selected marine micro-organisms were able to produce compounds with significant surfactant activity using low cost substrates.

Biodegradation studies of recycled vegetable oils, surface-active agents, and condensing wastewatersProkkola, H. (Hanna) 10 November 2015 (has links)
Abstract
Biodegradation is an aerobic or anaerobic degradation reaction where bacteria use organic materials as an energy source. In the aerobic biodegradation reaction, bacteria need oxygen as an electron acceptor, whereas an anaerobic reaction takes place in the absence of oxygen. Compounds degrade totally or partially, and produce simple inorganic species, such as CO2, CH4, NH3, NO3−, and H2O, as well as by-products that may be non-biodegradable and/or toxic.
In this thesis, the biodegradability of recycled vegetable oils, surface-active agents, and condensing waters from the process of wood drying were studied using the manometric respirometric BOD OxiTop method. The biodegradation of organic compounds was measured under the standard conditions (OECD 301F), and also in other matrices, such as different waters and soils. These are very different environments with respect to the biodegradation reaction in nature. The main differences in waters and soils are their organic and inorganic nutrient contents, bacteria strains, and temperatures.
The BOD OxiTop method is based on automatic pressure detection in a closed reactor vessel. Oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is formed in the aerobic reaction. The pressure decrease is detected after the carbon dioxide is adsorbed into a NaOH pellet or solution. The pressure change is dependent on oxygen consumption. The degree of biodegradation is calculated from the BOD value of the sample.
The studied recycled vegetable oils were found to be 60–83% biodegradable, and the added surface-active agent did not affect their biodegradation. Biodegradation of tall oil soaps was also examined in sand, topsoil, groundwater, and surface water, as well as under OECD 301F standard conditions. Tall oil soaps were proven to be 50–85% biodegradable. Concrete solvent agent (CSA) was also proven to be 78–83% biodegradable under standard conditions. Another detergent, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was found to be toxic, whereas Triton X-100 biodegraded by only 6% in solution. Biodegradation of the soil matrix was found to be enhanced with added surface-active agents. This can be explained by better wetting of small pores with surface-active agents, as compared to the behavior of pure water. The biodegradation of the matrix occurred even with toxic surface-active agents. Organic pollutants of wastewaters from the process of wood drying were 25–61% biodegradable during a 28-day period, and were proven to be quite pure when considering the carbon content of the samples. Based on these results, the disposal into drainage of condensing waters from wood drying may be regarded as safe, which from an economical viewpoint is a very important conclusion. / Tiivistelmä
Biohajoavuus on luonnollinen aerobinen tai anaerobinen hajoamisprosessi, jossa bakteerit käyttävät orgaanista materiaalia energian lähteenä. Aerobisessa reaktiossa bakteerit tarvitsevat happea elektronien vastaanottajaksi, kun taas anaerobinen reaktio tapahtuu hapettomissa olosuhteissa. Yhdisteet hajoavat joko täysin tai osittain sekä tuottavat yksinkertaisia epäorgaanisia yhdisteitä, kuten CO2, CH4, NH3, NO3− tai H2O. Reaktiossa voi myös muodostua sivutuotteita, jotka voivat olla biohajoamattomia ja/tai toksisia.
Tässä työssä on tutkittu kierrätettyjen kasviöljyjen, pinta-aktiivisten aineiden sekä jätevesien sisältämien orgaanisen aineksien biohajoavuuksia käyttäen manometristä respirometristä BOD OxiTop-menetelmää. Biohajoavuutta mitattiin standardiolosuhteiden (OECD 301F) lisäksi muissakin olosuhteissa, kuten erilaisissa maissa ja vesissä. Nämä ovat kaikki hyvin erilaisia ympäristöjä luonnossa tapahtuville biohajoavuusreaktioille. Pääasialliset erot ovat sekä orgaanisten että epäorgaanisten ravinteiden määrässä, bakteerikannoissa ja lämpötilassa.
BOD OxiTop-menetelmä perustuu automaattiseen paineen muutoksen havainnointiin suljetussa astiassa. Aerobisessa reaktiossa kuluu happea ja muodostuu hiilidioksidia, joka imeytetään NaOH-pelletteihin tai -liuokseen ja tästä muodostuu alipaine. Paineen muutokset muunnetaan hapenkulutuksen arvoiksi, joista lasketaan biohajoavuusaste.
Tutkittujen kierrätettyjen kasviöljyjen biohajoavuusasteet vaihtelivat välillä 60–83 %, eikä lisätty pinta-aktiivinen aine vaikuttanut kyseisten ekoöljyjen biohajoavuuteen. Mäntysaippuoiden biohajoavuus tutkittiin standardiolosuhteiden lisäksi hiekassa, mullassa, pohjavedessä sekä pintavedessä. Niiden biohajoavuusasteet vaihtelivat välillä 50–85 %. Betoninpesuaineen biohajoavuusaste standardiolosuhteissa oli 78–83 %. Kahdesta tutkituista pinta-aktiivisista aineista setrimoniumbromidi (CTAB) oli myrkyllinen liuosolosuhteissa eikä täten biohajonnut ja Triton X-100 biohajosi vain 6 %. Pinta-aktiivisen aineen lisääminen maahan aiheutti matriisina käytetyn maan biohajoamisen. Tämä voitiin selittää siten, että pintajännityksen laskemisen jälkeen neste voi paremmin tunkeutua maan pieniin huokosiin ja näin tuoda hajoamatonta orgaanista ainesta ja uusia bakteereita biohajoavuuskäyttöön. Tämä ilmiö havaittiin myös myrkyllisen pinta-aktiivisen aineen lisäyksen jälkeen. Jätevesien sisältämät orgaaniset ainekset hajosivat 25–61 % 28 päivän aikana ja niiden havaittiin olevan hiilen määrän huomioon ottaen hyvin puhtaita. Tässä tutkimuksessa saatujen tulosten perusteella tutkitut puunkuivauksen kondenssivedet voidaan laskea viemäriin, mikä on erittäin tärkeä tulos ekologiselta ja taloudelliselta kannalta katsottuna.

Klíčové vlastnosti vybraných tenzidů pro test odolnosti vysokohustotního polyetylénu metodou napěťového krípu / Key factors of selected tensides used for full notch creep test of high density polyethyleneKřivánková, Eliška January 2021 (has links)
The thesis deals with the study of surface-active properties, zeta potential, particle size and adhesion of surfactants (Arkopal N110, Igepal CO-520, Igepal CO-890, Dehyton PL, sodium dodecyl sulfate and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide) selected for full notch creep test method. To determine the surface phenomena occuring in a solution due to their presence at 25, 50 and 80 °C, the Du Noüy ring method of surface tension measurement was used. The importance of factors such as concentration, ionic character and the molecular structure of the surfactants, temperature and dispersion media (pH, purity) were analysed. Dynamic light scattering measurements were performed in order to evaluate the particle size and the electrophoresis method was used to determine the zeta potential. The results were compared to the contact angle measurements, i. e. adhesion tendency between surfactant solutions and the surface of selected types of high density polyethylene. The optical analysis was used to evaluate the contact angle. The negative impact of water purity was negated. The temperature dependecy was specific for each of the examined surfactant species, however the relationship between temperature and the length of hydrophilic chain was discovered. Alkaline pH was less convenient for amphoteric surfactant than acid or neutral environment, but this might have been caused by components contained in the buffer. The character of surfactant solutions was mostly monodisperse. The only exceptions were 1mM Igepal CO-520 and 3mM Dehyton PL. Further investigation led to conclusion that the molecules tend to form agglomerates. Adhesion was in accordance with surfactant effectiveness of surface reduction and adsorption. However, this theory did not match the data obtained from testing acid and neutral Dehyton PL solutions' adhering to polyethylene species containing carbon black.
