Definitions

  • the field of the present invention is that of surface treatments and more specifically of the acid pickling of stainless steel products.
  • the acid pickling of stainless steels is usually carried out with fluonitric baths, in which the use of nitric acid has the disadvantage of causing the formation of nitrous vapors polluting the atmosphere and soluble nitrates polluting the liquid effluents.
  • J.H.G. MONYPENNY indicates pp. 183 - 184 that, to minimize the problem of vapors from fluonitric pickling baths, stainless steel sheets were used for pickling baths containing 6 to 12% of 90% solution of ferric sulfate and 1.5 to 3% hydrofluoric acid and this for example at 70 - 80 ° C for descaling a hot rolled sheet.
  • the initial concentration of ferric iron in the preceding baths is thus approximately 16.5 to 33 g / I.
  • the tests of the applicant have shown that, when successive samples of stainless steel sheet are scoured in such baths, the speed and the quality of the pickling deteriorate rapidly. These acid pickling baths are therefore not satisfactory as such for serial or continuous pickling of stainless steel products.
  • document DE-C-899 890 published in 1953, describes a process for regenerating an HF / Fe 3+ pickling bath of steels by adding nitrites, part of these nitrites being able to be replaced by l oxygen introduced into the bath by means of air injection.
  • document GE-A-2 000 196 describes a process for controlling the composition of a pickling bath for stainless steels containing HF and ferric sulphate, in which the REDOX potential of the bath is maintained within a chosen interval by addition of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid.
  • one or more pickling baths are used, initially containing HF 10 at 35 g / I and Fe 3+ > 20 g / I, and during the pickling operation (s) the Fe 3+ content of this bath or these baths is kept at least 20 g / I thanks to an oxidation of the bath or baths comprising one or more air injections total flow between 1 and 8 Nm 3 per m 2 of pickled stainless steel and per hour of pickling of each pickled surface element. Air injections of greater total flow have proved to be of no interest, the saturation of the bath with oxygen in the air being undoubtedly reached and the additional air flows no longer apparently serving only to stir the bath, and this in a way eventually excessive.
  • the concentration of ferric iron in the bath can be calculated as the difference between the concentration of total iron, determined for example by atomic absorption, and the concentration of Fe2 + measured by its oxidation to Fe 3+ in the presence of permanganate KMn0 4 .
  • Adequate aeration of the pickling bath typically by air injection, allows the quality of pickling to be maintained during successive pickling or continuous pickling of stainless steel products by regenerating Fe 3+ .
  • the total volume of air injected into the pickling bath essentially depends on the amount of pickled stainless steel, which quantity itself is proportional to the pickled surface and the duration of pickling of this surface.
  • the total flow rate of air injected into the pickling bath of the invention is typically between 2 and 5 Nm 3 per m 2 d '' pickled stainless steel and per hour of pickling of each pickled surface element. So that the pickling bath is adequately aerated, it is then advisable to inject a good part of this volume of air, typically typically at least half of this volume, with nozzles directed towards the bottom of the bath at the lower half. from this bath.
  • the injected air is preferably preheated to a temperature close to that of the bath, ie typically between 35 and 60 ° C.
  • the refills are carried out as usual, and, rather than determining the concentration of the bath, it is practical to determine the REDOX potential of the bath and to set it between 0 and +800 mV and preferably between +100 and +300 mV by acting if necessary on the oxidation of the bath.
  • the reference REDOX potential is chosen according to the grade and surface condition of the strip and readjusted, if necessary, based on surface condition observations after pickling.
  • the REDOX potential is measured between a platinum electrode and an Ag / AgCI reference electrode or with fixed potential, reproducible and with zero irreversibility power.
  • a device for measuring this REDOX potential can be suitably sealed so as to allow continuous measurements in the bath.
  • an oxidation means temporarily and / or locally supplementing the action of the air to return more quickly to the desired Fe 3+ concentration or at the set REDOX potential, so as to find good pickling.
  • strong oxidant for example hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate, is then used as a complementary means of oxidizing the bath. It is still possible in certain cases to introduce an oxygen injection or to increase the air flow.
  • the Applicant has found that it was then possible to modify the solubility of the sludge, or precipitated from the spent bath, by adjusting the REDOX potential of the bath during pickling.
  • the "sludge" is not very soluble when the bath has been adjusted below +100 mV or above +300 to 350 mV, and their solubility is greatly improved between +100 mV and +300 mV, and more particularly between +190 mV and +260 mV, the optimal bath control being 220 ⁇ 20 mV.
  • ferric fluoride or ferric sulphate or ferric chloride For the preparation of the pickling bath, use is generally made of ferric fluoride or ferric sulphate or ferric chloride, with a ferric iron concentration of between 20 and 40 g / l, with a preference for ferric fluoride, so as to have only one acid radical in the bath.
  • This air injection here was of the order of 1 1 / min, that is to say very in excess with respect to the useful flow rate.
  • Consistent pickling tests were carried out in the laboratory of several hundred samples similar to the samples in test series No. 1, always in the same pickling solution of initial composition HF 20 g / I, with periodic recharging. on the one hand in order to conserve 20 g / I and on the other hand in H 2 0 2 to the minimum necessary taking into account the concentration of iron in the solution, this with injection of air into the pickling bath.
  • the total dissolved iron concentration, the cumulative consumption of and the cumulative consumption of hydrogen peroxide H 2 0 2 were respectively monitored as a function of the number of pickled samples, each for 2 min. It has been observed that up to 275 to 300 pickled samples, corresponding to 25 to 27 g / I of dissolved iron, the consumption of HF and H 2 0 2 are fairly high and roughly proportional to the number of pickled samples, and beyond that consumption of HF and H 2 0 2 becomes very low. Thus, when the concentration of dissolved iron becomes greater than 25 g / l, the consumption of concentrated HF at 70% jumps surprisingly from 7 ml per 100 pickled samples to 0.3 ml per 100 pickled samples.
  • the oxygen in the air injected into the bath acts as an ion regenerator (Fe 3 +) according to the equilibrium reaction (C) already indicated, by moving this equilibrium in direction 3 of the formation of Fe 3 +, the pH of the solution being favorable and of the order of 2 as a result of the HF concentration. If this reaction (C) is adjusted so that it allows a regeneration of Fe2 + to Fe 3+ fast enough to always have Fe 3+ > 20 to 25 g / I, there is almost no need for H 2 0 2 . And consumption is surprisingly much lower than for lower concentrations of iron and therefore Fe 3 +.
  • the bath contained 20 g / l of and initially 25 g / l of Fe 3+ , coming from ferric fluoride dissolved in the bath. Air was injected into the bath mainly with nozzles spaced 2 to 3 m apart and directed downwards with an inclination of 15 ° with respect to the vertical, the air being released at the end of these nozzles towards the bottom of the tray and 15 cm from this bottom.
  • the total flow rate of air injected into the bath was 100 Nm 3 / h, 2/3 of which towards the bottom and in the vicinity of this bottom with the nozzles which have just been described.
  • the bath temperature was 40 to 45 ° C. The bath was run by measuring and adjusting its REDOX potential above +150 mV.
  • the total flow of injected air is therefore: or 3.1 Nm 3 per m 2 of pickled stainless steel and per hour of pickling of each pickled surface element.
  • the baths contained 25 g / I of HF and initially 20 g / I of Fe 3 +. Air was injected with nozzles with a layout similar to that of Example 1 with a total flow rate for each tank of 80 m 3 / h and a pressure of 0.2 MPa, ie a flow rate of approximately 160 Nm 3 / h.
  • the bath temperature was 50 to 55 ° C.
  • the bath was controlled by measuring and adjusting its REDOX potential above +200 mV. Additions of hydrogen peroxide were planned as a complementary means of oxidation to readjust the REDOX potential when it had become too low. We were able to operate for periods of several days without using this additional oxidation means and while retaining a potential of +200 to +300 mV with a good quality of pickling.
  • the injected air flow here is 4 Nm 3 per m 2 of pickled stainless steel and per hour of pickling of each pickled surface element.
  • the complex formed is of the FeF 3 , 3H 2 0 type. It has been found that this compound was soluble neither in water at 20 ° C. nor in an aqueous solution of 20 g of per liter at 20 ° C. hydrolyzes). On the other hand, at 50 ° C, it is moderately soluble: at 31 g / I in water and at 38 g / I in 20 g / I. This dissolution, unstable on cooling, is not satisfactory.
  • This type of "mud” can be recycled in a new bath, according to the method described above.
