Definitions
- a method exists that foresees a reduction in the amount of nitrogen oxides N0 X that are developed by the bath.
- Said method is generally based on the use of hydrogen peroxide, which not only makes it possible, if necessary, to reduce the total amount of nitric acid in the bath and required for the process, but also to oxidise the nitrogen oxides to the highest state of oxidation.
- this method has the disadvantage that it only partially solves the problems mentioned above, as it only allows a reduction of the NO x content in the vapours, not its elimination, and it leaves the problem of nitrates in the exhausted baths unsolved.
- more or less complex variations in the basic pickling process that is to say HF/HNO 3 mixtures
- Another method is known, the purpose of which is to eliminate the presence of nitric acid altogether, using sulphuric acid, ferric sulphate and hydrogen peroxide alongside the hydrofluoric acid, the presence of which remains practically unchanged in the processes examined here .
- the aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the above mentioned problems, providing a method for pickling products made of metal alloys containing iron, and products made of titanium and alloys thereof, in the absence of nitric acid as an oxidising agent, characterised by the fact that the product to be pickled is submerged in the anolyte (as the pickling solution) of an electrolytic cell in which the anolyte is made up of an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid, of hydrofluoric acid and optionally of phosphoric acid and hydrochloric acid, and with the catholyte made up of an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid, the oxidising agent in the pickling solution being the ferric ion, or the ions titanium (III) and titanium (IV) , formed in the anode by oxidation of the ferrous ion, or of the ion titanium (II) , resulting from dissolution of the surface layers of the product to be pickled.
- the pickling bath forms the anolyte of the cell, and is maintained at a temperature preferably comprised between 45 and 85°C, and it is made up of an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid, of hydrofluoric acid and optionally of hydrochloric and phosphoric acid, with the following composition expressed as a percentage by weight:
- the method according to the present invention does not resort to direct addition of reagents into the bath, but uses electro-chemical treatment of the solution which generates the desired oxidasing agent directly in the pickling bath.
- reaction (7) and (4) would, in fact, decrease the efficiency of the cell, attenuating the undesired water hydrolysis reaction by developing oxygen.
- the chosen potential E is thus in the range of between 771 and 1229 mV SHE.
- potential values of this kind among other things, there is no formation of chrome with valence 6 (often toxic) , according to the simplified reaction:
