Information profile @ a Glance
  • Steel pickling is part of the finishing process in the production of certain steel products in which oxide and scale are removed from the surface of strip steel, steel wire, and some other forms of steel, by dissolution in acid.
  • Both sulfuric and hydrochloric acid are in common use for the pickling of steel to be galvanized
  • Hydrochloric acid is not without disadvantages, for example, more tankage is required because the
    pickling rate is 1/3 slower, and the price of the acid per ton pickled is higher than sulfuric. Also, spent sulfuric acid can be reclaimed by refrigeration based processes whereas no current process effectively recycles hydrochloric.
  • PICKLING is the chemical removal of surface oxides or scale from steel by immersion in an aqueous acid solution. While wide variations are possible in the type, strength and temperature of the acid solutions used, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids are the most common pickling acids for carbon steel.
  • Pickle liquors become contaminated with dissolved metals through use. As the metal concentration increases, the free acid concentration decreases and pickling efficiency
    drops. Additions of fresh concentrated acid are made from time to time to rejuvenate the bath but eventually it becomes spent and must be discarded
  • Recovery of spent pickle liquors can potentially reduce many of the costs.
  • Plants are for regenerating exhausted pickling solutions from sulfuric acid pickling baths
  • In these plants, the ferrous sulphate accumulated in the acid is crystallized by cooling and separated as ferrous sulphate heptahydrate
  • The pickling of mild steel sheets with sulfuric acid produces an aqueous waste stream containing ferrous sulfate and sulfuric acid. Cooling of that solution forces ferrous sulfate to crystallize as FeSO4.7H2O. From the viewpoint of the mother liquor composition, this is a way to purify the solution.
  • At the same time, the seven molecules of water that is removed with the crystallized ferrous sulfate causes the reconcentration of the sulfuric acid. The solution thus treated can be recycled to the pickling bath.
  • Ferrous sulphate is a compound largely used in agriculture
