| Popis: | An experimental cleaning system has been developed to demonstrate the decontamination of model electronic circuit boards by this cleaning process. The media used in this process are a wash solution of a high molecular weight fluorocarbon surfactant in a perfluorinated carrier liquid which results in enhanced particle removal, followed by a perfluorinated carrier liquid rinse. The perfluorinated liquids of interest, which are recycled in the process, are inert, nonflammable, generally safe to use, and do not present a hazard to the atmospheric ozone layer. The cleaning experiments were performed at the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory. The radioactive particles removed from the circuit boards were captured by 0.22 μm filters with a filtration efficiency of 99.5% per stage. Compatibility tests were performed on these model electronic circuit boards. The results obtained show that neither the process fluids used nor the maximum level of the ultrasonic agitation applied harmed the circuit boards or the... |
