In November 2022, the company upgraded the etching process by replacing the traditional phosphoric acid polishing process withan alkali polishing process. In the traditional process, the high consumption of nitric acid resulted in the emission of large amounts ofnitrogen-containing exhaust gas, causing serious air pollution, and the high treatment cost for the nitrogen-containing wastewater. Thealkali polishing process uses ordinary acids and alkalis for self-neutralization or neutralization with acids and alkalis from other cleaningprocesses, without requiring any special treatment. After the process adjustment, the wastewater treatment no longer needs high-efficiency denitrification treatment and biochemical activated sludge treatment. The electricity consumption per unit of wastewater
