Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement de surface d'un conteneur métallique présentant au moins un orifice, ledit procédé étant plus particulièrement destiné au décapage de conteneurs constitués de tôles assemblées par soudage, sertissage, rivetage, collage, etc....The present invention relates to a method of surface treatment of a metal container having at least one orifice, said method being more particularly intended for pickling containers made of sheets assembled by welding, crimping, riveting, gluing, etc.
De tels conteneurs sont, par exemple, des fûts, des citernes fixes ou mobiles, des silos de stockage, des réservoirs, des ballons pour chauffage de l'eau sanitaire, et d'une manière générale l'ensemble des corps creux. L'orifice auquel il est fait référence peut, par exemple, être destiné à recevoir des tubulures, un système de remplissage, de chauffage ou d'évacuation. A l'issue de leur dernière étape de mise en forme, il est généralement nécessaire de procéder à un traitement de leur surface interne et externe, afin de supprimer la couche d'oxydation qui peut atteindre plusieurs dizaines de micromètres d'épaisseur. Lorsque le conteneur est assemblé par soudage, la zone la plus affectée par cette contamination est le cordon de soudure.Such containers are, for example, drums, fixed or mobile tanks, storage silos, tanks, balloons for heating sanitary water, and generally all of the hollow bodies. The orifice to which reference is made may, for example, be intended to receive tubing, a filling system, heating or evacuation. At the end of their last shaping step, it is generally necessary to treat their internal and external surfaces, in order to remove the oxidation layer that can reach several tens of micrometers thick. When the container is assembled by welding, the area most affected by this contamination is the weld seam.
Afin d'obtenir un état de surface compatible avec les normes de parachèvement du produit, il est donc nécessaire de décaper, dégraisser, passiver ou procéder à un brillantage de sa surface, ce qui se fait habituellement à l'aide de solutions par immersion dans des bacs contenant le réactif de traitement comprenant des acides.In order to obtain a surface condition compatible with the product's finishing standards, it is therefore necessary to strip, degrease, passivate or brighten its surface, which is usually done using immersion solutions in bins containing the processing reagent comprising acids.
Pour des conteneurs dont le volume dépasse les dix litres, tels que des ballons d'eau chaude, on peut également pulvériser de l'acide à l'aide d'une lance. Dans ce cas, l'acide est pulvérisé à froid pour éviter d'intoxiquer l'opérateur avec des vapeurs.For containers with a volume of more than 10 liters, such as hot water flasks, acid can also be sprayed with a spear. In this case, the acid is sprayed cold to avoid poisoning the operator with vapors.
Ces procédés cumulent différents inconvénients, car ils sont à la fois dangereux à mettre en oeuvre, ils génèrent de fortes quantités d'effluents toxiques à éliminer et sont en outre peu efficaces, car la vitesse de décapage reste lente.These processes combine various disadvantages, because they are both dangerous to implement, they generate large amounts of toxic effluents to be eliminated and are also ineffective, because the pickling rate remains slow.
Ainsi, le procédé le plus connu est le procédé fluonitrique qui présente de graves inconvénients, car il implique le dégagement de vapeurs nitreuses. Ces vapeurs entraînent une forte pollution atmosphérique et aqueuse, et rendent les conditions de travail des opérateurs particulièrement dangereuses.Thus, the most known method is the fluonitric process which has serious disadvantages because it involves the release of nitrous vapors. These vapors cause a great deal of atmospheric and aqueous pollution, and make the working conditions of the operators particularly dangerous.
Il est également possible d'améliorer l'état de surface par des procédés d'abrasion tels que le meulage ou le brossage. De tels procédés présentent cependant une productivité très faible, et un prix de revient élevé.It is also possible to improve the surface condition by abrasion processes such as grinding or brushing. Such methods, however, have a very low productivity, and a high cost.
Il a été proposé, dans

Un second objet de l'invention est constitué par un dispositif de traitement de surface d'un conteneur métallique présentant au moins un orifice, qui comprend une enceinte de traitement munie d'au moins une cuve réceptrice, des moyens de maintien dudit conteneur, des moyens de projection d'une solution de traitement dans ladite enceinte et à l'intérieur dudit conteneur, des moyens de recirculation de ladite solution entre ladite cuve et lesdits moyens de projections, lesdits moyens de recirculation comprenant une pompe permettant d'alimenter lesdits moyens de projection à une pression supérieure à 8 bar.A second subject of the invention consists of a device for treating the surface of a metal container having at least one orifice, which comprises a treatment chamber provided with at least one receiving tank, means for holding said container, means for projecting a treatment solution in said enclosure and inside said container, recirculation means for said solution between said vessel and said projection means, said recirculation means comprising a pump for feeding said means for projection at a pressure above 8 bar.
Enfin, un troisième objet de l'invention est constitué par une ligne de traitement de surface d'un conteneur métallique présentant au moins un orifice, comprenant un dispositif selon l'invention, et comprenant en outre une chaîne transporteuse venant alimenter ledit dispositif en lesdits conteneurs métalliques.Finally, a third subject of the invention consists of a surface treatment line of a metal container having at least one orifice, comprising a device according to the invention, and further comprising a conveyor chain supplying said device with said device. metal containers.
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut également comprendre les variantes suivantes, prises isolément ou en combinaison :
- il comprend des moyens de contrôle comprenant au moins une sonde de mesure, notamment de la température, de la concentration en ions H+, ou du potentiel redox de la solution de traitement, implantés en un point quelconque du circuit de recirculation de la solution,
- le dispositif comprend un système d'aspiration et de condensation des vapeurs d'acides.
- it comprises control means comprising at least one measuring probe, in particular the temperature, the concentration of H + ions, or the redox potential of the treatment solution, implanted at any point in the recirculation circuit of the solution,
- the device comprises a system for sucking and condensing acid vapors.
Le procédé selon l'invention peut être appliqué à toute surface métallique, et, en particulier, à la fonte, l'acier, aux aciers alliés, aux alliages ferreux, au nickel et ses alliages, au chrome et ses alliages, au titane et ses alliages, au zirconium et ses alliages, ainsi qu'au cuivre et ses alliages.The process according to the invention can be applied to any metal surface, and in particular to cast iron, steel, alloy steels, ferrous alloys, nickel and its alloys, chromium and its alloys, titanium and its alloys, zirconium and its alloys, as well as copper and its alloys.
Il est plus particulièrement destiné au traitement des conteneurs présentant au moins un orifice et produites par tout procédé d'assemblage de tôles tel que, par exemple, le soudage, le rivetage, le collage, l'agrafage, le pointage ou bien encore, par moulage, emboutissage, extrusion, estampage, cintrage ou décolletage.It is more particularly intended for the treatment of containers having at least one orifice and produced by any method of assembling sheets such as, for example, welding, riveting, gluing, stapling, pointing or even by molding, stamping, extrusion, stamping, bending or bar turning.
Les présents inventeurs ont constaté que la projection d'une solution de décapage à une pression supérieure à 8 bar, et de préférence supérieure à 10 bar, permettait d'obtenir des temps de décapage divisés au moins par 6, par rapport à des procédés d'immersion dans des bacs.The present inventors have found that the projection of a pickling solution at a pressure greater than 8 bar, and preferably greater than 10 bar, made it possible to obtain pickling times divided by at least 6, compared to immersion in bins.
Sans vouloir être lié par une théorie, on pense que la projection de la solution de décapage permet de fissurer les calamines et d'injecter ensuite la solution dans ses fissures. Cette action mécanique est associée à une action chimique par un mécanisme de percolation - dissolution chimique.Without wishing to be bound by a theory, it is thought that the projection of the pickling solution makes it possible to crack the calamines and then to inject the solution into its cracks. This mechanical action is associated with a chemical action by a mechanism of percolation - chemical dissolution.
Cependant, pour éviter tout risque de détérioration ou de découpe du conteneur métallique, par exemple lorsque le conteneur est en acier, il est préférable de projeter la solution de décapage à une pression inférieure à 90 bar.However, to avoid any risk of deterioration or cutting of the metal container, for example when the container is steel, it is preferable to project the pickling solution at a pressure of less than 90 bar.
La vitesse d'apport de la solution permet en outre de réduire la couche limite de diffusion en accélérant le renouvellement de la solution acide à la surface du conteneur.The rate of addition of the solution also makes it possible to reduce the diffusion limit layer by accelerating the renewal of the acid solution on the surface of the container.
Par ailleurs, l'ensemble des vapeurs nocives est capté puis condensé, sans jamais sortir de l'enceinte sous forme gazeuse.Moreover, all harmful vapors are captured and condensed without ever leaving the enclosure in gaseous form.
Le dispositif selon l'invention tel qu'il est représenté en
L'enceinte 1 peut comprendre en outre un système d'aspiration et de condensation des vapeurs acides (non représenté), ainsi qu'un système de chauffage de l'enceinte 1 avec une régulation automatique.The enclosure 1 may further comprise a system for suction and condensation of acid vapors (not shown), and a heating system of the chamber 1 with automatic regulation.
Elle comprend au moins une cuve réceptrice 2, mais peut en contenir autant qu'il y a de solutions de traitement différentes, ce qui peut permettre de collecter chaque solution dans une cuve spécifique et donc de faciliter son recyclage et/ou sa recirculation dans l'enceinte.It comprises at least one
On peut prévoir par ailleurs des moyens d'addition de réactifs dans cette enceinte 1, ainsi que des capteurs 6, 6', 6" permettant de suivre le bon déroulement du traitement de surface.In addition, reagent addition means may be provided in this chamber 1, as well as
Ces capteurs 6, 6', 6" peuvent être implantés à différents endroits du dispositif et notamment, dans la cuve réceptrice 2 ou sur le circuit de collecte de la solution venant d'être projetée sous pression, mais aussi en dehors de l'enceinte 1 dans un bac de préparation de la solution.These
On pourra notamment utiliser des capteurs 6, 6', 6" mesurant le potentiel redox, la concentration en H+, la température, ou tout autre capteur pouvant permettre de déterminer si la solution doit être traitée avant d'être utilisée.In particular, it will be possible to use
Ce dispositif est donc destiné au traitement de la surface d'un conteneur métallique 4 comprenant au moins un orifice 4'. Ce conteneur est introduit dans l'enceinte 1 et disposé de telle sorte que son orifice 4' soit orienté vers le bas. La buse inférieure de projection 3 est insérée par l'orifice 4', à l'intérieur du conteneur 4, puis l'on projette une solution de décapage à une pression supérieure à 8 bar, et à une température comprise, par exemple, entre 40 et 70°C.This device is therefore intended for treating the surface of a
Une solution de décapage utilisable dans le procédé selon l'invention peut comprendre un acide ou un mélange d'acides minéraux comprenant un composé halogéné ou un radical sulfate, orthophosphate ou métaphosphate, ou bien encore un acide ou un mélange d'acides organiques aliphatiques ou cycliques, tel qu'un acide peroxygéné comme l'acide peracétique, ou l'acide perborique. Cette solution peut également comprendre des mélanges d'acides de nature différente, comme un mélange d'acide halogéné et d'acide minéral, par exemple.A pickling solution that can be used in the process according to the invention may comprise an acid or a mixture of mineral acids comprising a halogenated compound or a sulphate, orthophosphate or metaphosphate radical, or else an acid or a mixture of aliphatic organic acids or cyclic, such as a peroxygenic acid such as peracetic acid, or acid Perboric. This solution may also include mixtures of acids of different nature, such as a mixture of halogenated acid and mineral acid, for example.
L'acide peroxygéné peut d'ailleurs être obtenu in situ par ajout de peroxyde d'hydrogène sur un acide organique. L'utilisation de ces acides peroxygénés est particulièrement avantageuse, car les solutions de décapage les contenant peuvent être éliminées par simple combustion sans dégagement de gaz toxiques.Peroxygenic acid can also be obtained in situ by adding hydrogen peroxide to an organic acid. The use of these peroxygenated acids is particularly advantageous because the pickling solutions containing them can be removed by simple combustion without release of toxic gases.
La concentration des acides est de préférence comprise entre 0,1 et 7 moles par litre, et de façon plus particulièrement préférée comprise entre 0,1 et 6 moles par litre, tandis que la concentration des métaux dans la solution est de préférence comprise entre 0,2 et 2 moles par litre.The concentration of the acids is preferably between 0.1 and 7 moles per liter, and more preferably between 0.1 and 6 moles per liter, while the concentration of the metals in the solution is preferably between 0 and 10 moles per liter. , 2 and 2 moles per liter.
Cette solution de décapage comprend également un composé oxydé provenant du métal constituant le conteneur à traiter à sa valence maximale. Ce composé peut aussi être associé à la solution de décapage par dissolution d'un sel de synthèse dans la solution ou par action de peroxyde d'hydrogène, d'ozone ou de persels.This pickling solution also comprises an oxidized compound from the metal constituting the container to be treated at its maximum valence. This compound may also be associated with the pickling solution by dissolving a synthetic salt in the solution or by the action of hydrogen peroxide, ozone or persalts.
D'une façon générale, lorsque l'on souhaite décaper, on adaptera la composition de la solution à la composition et à la constitution des oxydes à éliminer.In general, when it is desired to strip, the composition of the solution will be adapted to the composition and composition of the oxides to be removed.
Le potentiel redox sera choisi afin d'être supérieur au potentiel d'oxydo-réduction du couple redox du constituant principal, dans un rapport molaire oxydant / réducteur supérieur ou égal à 4, dans le milieu considéré.The redox potential will be chosen so as to be greater than the oxidation-reduction potential of the redox couple of the main constituent, in an oxidant / reducer molar ratio greater than or equal to 4, in the medium in question.
La température de la solution est de préférence comprise entre 40°C et 80°C, et d'une manière plus particulièrement préférée, de l'ordre de 60°C, à plus ou moins 2°C.The temperature of the solution is preferably from 40 ° C to 80 ° C, and more preferably from 60 ° C to plus or minus 2 ° C.
Le débit de projection de solution est régulé de manière à équilibrer le débit de vidange dans l'enceinte.The solution spray rate is regulated to balance the rate of emptying into the chamber.
Avant ou après la projection de cette solution de décapage, le conteneur peut être rincé à l'aide de solutions aqueuses chaudes (60°C) ou froides (15°C), par exemple. On peut également lui faire subir une passivation par du peroxyde d'hydrogène dilué en milieu acide, ou toute autre solution (persels, etc...).Before or after the projection of this pickling solution, the container may be rinsed with hot aqueous solutions (60 ° C) or cold (15 ° C), for example. It can also be passivated by hydrogen peroxide diluted in an acid medium, or any other solution (persalts, etc ...).
La mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention permet d'obtenir un gain surprenant en terme de productivité. Ainsi, le décapage interne d'un ballon d'eau chaude de 300 litres ne prend que 10 minutes, contre 60 à 90 minutes pour un procédé par immersion.The implementation of the method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a surprising gain in terms of productivity. Thus, the internal pickling of a 300-liter hot water tank takes only 10 minutes, compared to 60 to 90 minutes for an immersion process.
