  • Publication number: 20240162060
    Abstract: A substrate treatment apparatus includes: a substrate treatment unit that treats a substrate with a treatment liquid containing ozone dissolved therein; a recovery tank in which the treatment liquid discharged from the substrate treatment unit is recovered; a recovery pipe that connects the substrate treatment unit to the recovery tank; a heating member that heats the treatment liquid to a first temperature in at least one of the recovery pipe and the recovery tank; a supply piping system that supplies the treatment liquid from the recovery tank to the substrate treatment unit; and an ozone gas pipe that supplies ozone gas to the supply piping system to mix the ozone gas in the treatment liquid passing through the supply piping system.

  • Patent number: 11915930
    Abstract: A substrate processing method is provided for removing a resist having a hardened layer from a front surface of a substrate. The substrate processing method includes a hardened-layer removing step and a wet processing step. The hardened-layer removing step includes a heating step of heating the substrate to 150° C. or more and an ozone-gas supplying step of supplying an ozone gas to the front surface of the substrate being heated by the heating step, and the hardened-layer removing step removes the hardened layer by generating an oxygen radical near the front surface of the substrate. The wet processing step removes the resist from the front surface of the substrate by supplying a processing liquid including a sulfuric acid to the front surface of the substrate after the hardened-layer removing step.

  • Publication number: 20160000108
    Abstract: A method for forming a fat and oil composition for deep frying includes combining a crude oil or intermediate oil product with an edible oil and an ascorbic acid and/or an ascorbic acid derivative to form the fat and oil composition. The crude oil or intermediate oil product includes a phosphorus component such that the phosphorus component is provided in an amount of 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm of the oil and fat composition. The ascorbic acid and/or an ascorbic acid derivative in an ascorbic acid equivalent is provided in an amount of 2 ppm to 130 ppm of the oil and fat composition. The edible oil in the oil and fat composition includes a component such as soy bean oil, rapeseed oil, palm olein, or any one or more combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20120301583
    Abstract: The present invention provides an oil and fat composition that can prevent not only coloring caused by heating and cooked odor during heat cooking, but also increase in acid value, as well as that can endure long-term use. The oil and fat composition, which can prevent coloring caused by heating, cooked odor, and increase in acid value, can be obtained by incorporating 0.1 ppm or more and 10 ppm or less of a phosphorus component, and ascorbic acid and/or an ascorbic acid derivative in an ascorbic acid equivalent of 2 ppm or more and 130 ppm or less into an edible oil and fat.
