Definitions
- the invention relates to a pickling process for workpieces made of aluminum or aluminum alloys and a pickling plant suitable for such a pickling process.
- the surface pretreatment by pickling takes place predominantly in alkaline baths, for example in sodium hydroxide solution.
- the aluminum reacts on the surface of the workpiece with the sodium hydroxide solution according to the formula:
- the aluminum goes into solution which, in the presence of complexing agents and free NaOH, does not precipitate as Al (OH) 3 .
- a certain concentration of aluminum in the pickling solution is helpful to slow down the pickling process, as it can provide a high quality and matte finish.
- Such a long-term stain is in equilibrium if the proportion of the aluminum going into solution corresponds approximately to the mass fraction which is removed from the pickling bath by the workpieces during removal - ie in this state of equilibrium the aluminum content of the pickling bath remains approximately constant.
- Such a Equilibrium state for example, at an aluminum concentration of about 140 to 180 g / l aluminum.
- the pickling quality is adversely affected by the fact that different heavy metals, silicates, etc. accumulate in the pickling solution - depending on the alloy content of the various workpieces.
- an increased level of zinc has a particularly negative effect, since the zinc precipitates at the grain boundaries and forms so-called “zinc flowers", which adversely affect the surface quality
- the pickling solution from the workpiece can be improved so that less pickling solution is removed during the transfer of the workpieces from the pickling solution to a subsequent flushing step
- Further pickling additives for example sulfides, form metal sulfides which are sparingly soluble with the heavy metals and precipitate out as sludge in the bath.
- complexing agents such as gluconate, sorbitol or other derivatives from sugar chemistry are added in such pickling baths, can be prevented by the precipitation of aluminum hydroxide.
- the alkaline pickling solution insoluble elements such as copper, silicon, etc., remain in the mud.
- the sludge obtained in the pickling bath which is colored black due to the alloy constituents (for example Si, Zn, Mn and Cu compounds), is withdrawn from the plant at regular intervals, for example twice a year, and disposed of.
- the alkaline stain is also removed in order to prevent an excessive increase in the Al concentration and compensates for losses caused by carry-over (NaOH, additives).
- DE 100 54 128 A1 discloses a method in which the pickling liquid is mixed with a rinsing liquid of a standing rinse following the pickling and processed with the addition of sodium hydroxide solution to a sodium aluminate solution which is used for example in a sewage treatment plant for phosphate precipitation can be. It is therefore a pure recovery process, with the "spent" pickling liquor an intermediate product is created.
- EP 0157 190 B1 and the product name "Epal®” disclose a process in which a specific equilibrium between free sodium hydroxide solution, dissolved aluminum, crystallized aluminum hydroxide and bath stabilizer is produced in the pickling bath
- no additives are added to precipitate the heavy metals and the heavy metals (eg zinc) remain largely in solution, which has a negative influence on the wetting result (coarse grain formation by grain boundary separation)
- the aluminum hydroxide precipitated in the bath and subsequently obtained by solids separation would be contaminated with heavy metals - the desired utilization of the aluminimhydroxide would thereby be severely restricted a precipitation of aluminum hydroxide is desired.
- the aluminum then precipitates at low concentrations as aluminum hydroxide - as stated - such a low aluminum content in the pickling bath, however, deteriorates the surface quality, so that the cost savings by the accumulation of aluminum hydroxide and / or sodium hydroxide at the expense of surface quality.
- DE 40 15 141 A1 discloses a method in which a pretreatment bath - i. a pickling bath - continuously fresh pickling liquid is supplied and a corresponding amount of "spent" pickling liquid withdrawn and either a supply or further processing is supplied.
- the invention has for its object to provide a pickling bath and a pickling plant, which allow a long-term pickling with minimal effort.
- a continuous and discontinuous preparation and concentration adjustment of a pickling solution of a pickling bath are provided in the pickling process for workpieces made of aluminum or aluminum alloys.
- a subset of the pickling solution is withdrawn continuously or in sections from the pickling bath, and solids are separated from the withdrawn subset by means of a solids separation / solids separation.
- the composition of the remaining low-solids permeate is analyzed and the permeate composition is adjusted depending on the result of this analysis. From this dosing template, permeate is then fed back into the pickling bath in order to keep the pickling solution contained therein at a predetermined composition. Due to the quasi-continuous extraction of solids from the pickling solution and precipitation of the heavy metals outside the pickling bath, a seepage of the sludge at the bottom of the pickling bath is reliably prevented, so that a long-term pickling with high efficiency is made possible.
- the pickling plant according to the invention is carried out according to a pickling bath, which has a sequence for discharging a partial amount of a pickling solution from the pickling bath.
- the pickling plant further has a solids separation in which solids, such as the heavy metals described above, are removed from the stripped pickling solution.
- the low-solids permeate is temporarily stored in a storage tank.
- the pickling plant also has an analysis for analyzing the composition of the low-solids permeate taken up in the reservoir. This analysis can also be used to record the composition of the pickling solution of the pickling bath.
- pickling solution for example sodium hydroxide solution
- additives are then supplied by means of a metering unit in order to set a composition of the permeate in the storage container which depends on the actual composition of the pickling solution.
- the pickling solution is frequently fed to a special chemistry in which all the necessary pickling additives are contained.
- the special chemistry consisting of a multiplicity of pickle additives is metered in, so that the other pickling additives are rather overdosed.
- a targeted adjustment by addition of the individual pickling additives and sodium hydroxide solution, so that such overdose is avoided.
- the permeate taken up with a defined composition is passed from the storage tank into the pickling bath in order to keep the pickling solution at a predetermined desired composition and to compensate for volume losses, or to keep the Al content constant.
- Volume losses can also be compensated by a downstream E0 stain, floor sink or first sink.
- This bath can be integrated into the process according to the invention, wherein the filling of the sedimentation tank does not have to take place directly from the pickling bath 1. In this case, solid is separated, the concentration determined, metered accordingly and filled the pickling bath.
- the solids separation takes place by means of a membrane filtration and subsequent sedimentation in the sedimentation tank.
- a membrane filtration and subsequent sedimentation in the sedimentation tank.
- suitable solid separation processes can be used with which solids, such as heavy metals can be separated from an alkaline or acid pickling solution.
- the solids separation contains a dynamic filtration, preferably a micro- or ultrafiltration.
- the applied after the separation of solids, largely freed of solids permeate is fed to a storage tank and stored there.
- the retentate produced during the filtration can be circulated through the filter in a variant according to the invention in the batch mode until the retentate has reached the desired concentration (for example 10 times).
- the sub-quantity withdrawn from the pickling bath can be added to the circulated volume flow.
- a continuous procedure feed and bleed
- the concentration preferably takes place in the sedimentation tank - as soon as the desired concentration has been reached, the membrane filtration is terminated so that flocculation and sedimentation of the solids, in particular the undissolved heavy metal compounds, takes place in the sedimentation tank.
- this sedimentation clear phase is subtracted in a variant of the pickling process according to the invention and fed to the storage container.
- the solids concentration of this clear phase corresponds approximately to the concentration of the permeate from the first filter operation.
- the turbidity phase (sediment) obtained during the sedimentation is withdrawn from the sedimentation tank and fed to a solids separator, for example a static filter, and the filtrate, which has largely been freed of solids, is then fed to the feed tank.
- This filtrate also has about the same solids concentration of the aforementioned permeate and the aforementioned clear phase.
- the accumulating on the static filter cake, which has a high content of heavy metals, is preferably disposed of as waste. Through this downstream filter, the waste volume can be reduced to a minimum.
- the permeate solution received in the receiver tank can be supplied with sodium hydroxide solution and / or additives for setting a desired permeate composition.
- This addition of additives / caustic soda takes place as a function of the actual composition of the pickling solution taken up in the pickling bath and / or of the aluminum nitrate concentration in the feed / metering tank or of the desired concentration of an aluminate intended for further use.
- this composition is determined after removal of the solids or from the permeate.
- the solids separation takes place approximately at the temperature of the pickling bath, so that a correspondingly high volume flow is adjustable.
- the storage of the concentrated permeate solution takes place at a low temperature.
- the pickling solution can also be cooled, taking advantage of the fact that the residual solubility of the sparingly soluble heavy metal compounds decreases with the temperature.
- a partial stream is withdrawn from the feed tank and fed to a collecting tank.
- This highly concentrated aluminate solution can then be recycled.
- the aluminate solution can be optimized by the addition of NaOH or additives such as complexing agents for further processing.
- the entire process and also the pickling plant can be designed as a closed system (reactor), in which case the process liquids are conducted from the feed tank to the reactor or a coating cell and not, as usual, the work piece or the "product” to the pickling solution ("Ware to chemistry ").
- the method can also be used for pickling by spraying.
- the use of the low solids pickling solution prevents the nozzles from clogging.
- the solids separation in addition to or as an alternative to the pickling solution removed from the pickling bath, can be fed with a solution from another process stage, for example an E0 pickling.
- the pickling plant in the area of solids separation is designed with a dynamic filter and a sedimentation tank.
- the pickling plant can be designed with a circulation pump for recycling retentate from the sedimentation to the inlet of the filter.
- the turbidity phase can be deducted from the sedimentation after sedimentation.
- the pickling plant can furthermore be designed with a feed pump for conveying the clear phase arising during the sedimentation from the sedimentation tank into the feed tank.
- the pickling is advantageously carried out with a filter over which the sedimentation obtained during sedimentation (sediment) is freed from solids and the concentrated filtrate is then also fed to the reservoir.
- this storage container can be made in two parts, with the above-described volume flows (permeate, clear phase, filtrate) arising during dynamic filtration, during sedimentation and during filtration being temporarily stored.
- This permeate container is connected via a feed pump and a suitable valve device with a dosing. Permeate can be withdrawn from the permeate container via this feed pump and fed to the metering container.
- the composition of the permeate taken up in the dosing container is then adjusted to the desired composition by adding sodium hydroxide / additives. Permeate is then withdrawn from this template thus adjusted and fed to the pickling bath to set the desired concentration.
- the intermediate storage of the permeate and the setting of the dosing template are carried out separately.
- the volume of the sedimentation container roughly corresponds to the volume of the storage container, so that the storage container can also be filled with a filling of the sedimentation container.
- the sedimentation container can first be filled with retentate by circulation through the filter, wherein already permeate is branched off from the filter and fed directly into the feed container. After filling the sedimentation tank, the cycle to the dynamic filter is shut off and the sedimentation process begins. The resulting clear phase is fed to the feed tank, in which the metered addition of the sodium hydroxide solution (or other pickling solution) and the additives takes place in order to set a predetermined composition in the reservoir. By removing permeate from this storage tank, the concentration of the pickling solution in the pickling bath can then be kept constant, with losses and consumption of pickling solution being compensated.
- the pickling plant according to the invention can be designed with a collecting container for receiving permeate withdrawn from the feed container. This highly concentrated, set, for example, with regard to the reuse aluminate can then be supplied from the cache of the mentioned further processing.
- solution from another process step for example an E0 pickling or a first rinse
- This solution can also - be fed directly to the pickling bath - similar to the prior art.
- the target aluminum concentration in the aluminate which is used further, can be adjusted independently of the desired concentration in the pickling bath.
- the condition is that the aluminum concentration in the pickling bath is greater than in the stabilized for further use aluminate. This is usually the case.
- an aluminum concentration of about 150 g / l in the aluminate solution is desired.
- the pickling bath usually has an Al concentration of 160-180 g / l.
- the invention is not limited to an application in the pickling of workpieces.
- the method can also be used in other systems, for example in an anodizing bath, in cold sealing or in other galvanic process baths.
- the Applicant reserves the right to direct such generalized claims with the appropriately formulated streams to such applications and installations.
- Figure 1 is a plant schematic of a pickling plant according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a pickling plant with two-part storage tank.
- FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of a pickling plant 1, as used in a pickling process for pickling workpieces made of aluminum or aluminum alloys.
- the actual pickling process takes place in a pickling bath 1, it being possible in principle to use both acidic and alkaline pickling solutions.
- a pickling solution 2 sodium hydroxide solution is used to which the additives described above, for example, to prevent unwanted precipitation of aluminum hydroxide, for binding heavy metals, to improve the pickling behavior and to improve the flow behavior are added.
- Common additives include, for example, sodium gluconate, sodium sulfide, sodium thiosulfate or sodium nitrate. Further suitable additives can be taken from the prior art described at the outset. According to the composition of the pickling solution 2 is kept constant, wherein for the pickling detrimental solid fractions are continuously or discontinuously withdrawn.
- a partial amount of pickling solution 2 is withdrawn from the pickling bath 1, freed of solids via a solids separation / separation 4 and then fed to a feed tank 6, in which the permeate present after the solids separation by adding sodium hydroxide solution and additives by means of a metering unit 8 a predetermined composition is set, which composition is variable depending on the actual composition of the pickling solution during the pickling process.
- pickling solution 2 loaded with the solids (heavy metal, sludge, etc.) initially described is withdrawn from the pickling bath 1 and fed via a valve arrangement 14 to the solid separation 4 indicated by dashed lines in FIG.
- a circulating volume flow 16 can also be branched off via the valve arrangement 14 and returned to the pickling bath 1.
- the valve 14 can be variably adjusted so that the volume flow 3 can be flexibly divided (eg 100% bath circulation or other conditions, depending on the respective cycle (filling of 20, sedimentation in 20, etc.)
- the volume flow set via the pump 12 can be divided again.
- the pressure and the flow rate, which is the solids separation 4 is supplied.
- This consists in the illustrated embodiment of a dynamic filter 18 and a sedimentation 20.
- all other Feststoffabscheideclar can be used to separate solids from the pickling solution.
- the solids separation can be achieved, for example, by a sedimentation tion alone, by centrifuging or by a static filter or by combination of known solid separation processes.
- microfiltration is used wherein a membrane 22 is used to separate the solid.
- two operating modes are distinguished: the "cross-flow” and the "dead-end” flow control.
- cross-flow filtration the crude solution flows along the membrane surface, with only a relatively small portion passing through the membrane 22 as permeate.
- liquids with a high turbidity / solids content can be clarified.
- the concentrate or retentate 26 flowing along the membrane 22 is conducted into the sedimentation tank 20 and from there returned via a circulation pump 28 and a circulation valve arrangement 30 as circulation flow 32 to the inlet of the dynamic filter 18 and summed to the subset 3 withdrawn via the pump 12.
- This circulation of the retentate 26 concentrates this, so that its solids content increases continuously, since the permeate 24 is discharged into the feed tank 6.
- the circulation valve assembly 30 and by switching off the circulation pump 28 and by switching the valve assembly 14 to circulation or switching off the pump 12
- the circulation of the retentate 26 is interrupted, so that in the sedimentation 20, the flocculation and the sedimentation process can begin.
- settling in the sedimentation tank 20 clear phase 34 is withdrawn via a feed pump 37 from the sedimentation tank 20 and conveyed into the reservoir 6.
- the sedimentation present on the bottom side turbidity phase (sediment) 36 is withdrawn via the circulation pump 28 and the corresponding switched valve assembly 30 and fed to another filter, such as a static filter.
- this static filter is designed as a chamber filter press 38, in which the solids contained in the turbidity phase 36 are retained as a filter cake.
- This filter cake 40 is then disposed of as waste or for further use.
- the freed from solids filtrate 42 then also flows into the feed tank 6.
- a continuous flow through the sedimentation without recycling of the retentate (feed and bleed) can be selected.
- the volume of the sedimentation tank 20 approximately corresponds to the volume of the receiver 6, so that after completion of the sedimentation process and deposition of the filter cake, the receiver 6 is filled with permeate, ie with stripping solution freed of solids.
- the composition of the pickling solution 2 in the pickling bath 1 can be continuously adjusted or maintained at a desired value.
- a comparatively small amount of analysis 46 is withdrawn from the storage container 6 via an original pump 44 and supplied to the analysis system 10. Over these then the permeate composition in the reservoir 6, i. the proportion of aluminum, caustic soda and additives are determined.
- the analysis 10 is designed to be able to detect the individual components with sufficient accuracy. In this way, the actual composition of the permeate in the reservoir 6 is determined.
- the solids content of the streams 24, 34 and 42 is substantially at the same low level near 0%.
- the pickling unit is switched back to the mode described above under 1. to fill the feed tank 6 with permeate / aluminate.
- the additives metered in via the dosing unit 8 can also be adapted to the individual substance separation steps described above, so that, for example, optimized filtration or sedimentation is made possible.
- the temperature in the reservoir 6 is lower than the temperature of the pickling 1.
- the pickling bath 1 for example, be operated at a temperature of 70 0 C - the temperature in the reservoir 6 may then be for example about 4O 0 C.
- the filter 18 and also in the sedimentation tank 20 is the comparatively high temperature (70 0 C), so that due to this comparatively high temperature, a higher flow through the filter 18 can be realized.
- the sedimentation tank 20 may be provided with a cooling 21 to cool the retentate 26 to aid in the precipitation of heavy metals.
- an unused volume fraction of permeate (essentially consisting of sodium aluminates) 52 can be withdrawn via the feed pump 44 and the valve arrangement 48 and fed to an industrial utilization. be led.
- Such sodium aluminate solutions are used for example for drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment or as a raw material for zeolite production. The deduction is also made to prevent too high an increase of the Al content in the bath and to keep the Al concentration in a defined target range.
- the concentration of pickling solution 2 in pickling bath 1 can be kept at a defined composition by means of the method described above, the resulting solids being separated off continuously or quasi-continuously. Due to this minimum solids content in the pickling solution 2 and the avoidance of temperature and concentration fluctuations in the pickling solution 2, the risk of stone formation or the formation of sludge in the reservoir 6 or in the pickling bath 1 is practically nonexistent. Since no sludge accumulates during operation, expensive cleaning work and the concomitant shutdown of the system can be omitted.
- the process described above also opens up the possibility of recovering caustic soda from the pickling or permeate solution and reuse in the pickling process.
- the permeate 24, the clear phase 34 and the filtrate 42 are introduced together into the reservoir 6.
- the metered addition to the adjustment of the original concentration also takes place in this storage tank 6.
- FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a system according to the invention is shown, in which the storage container 6 is designed in two parts with a permeate 54 and a dosing 56. These two containers 54, 56 are connected to each other via a feed pump 58 and a feed line 60, so that the dosing 56 is filled via the feed pump 58 and the feed line 60 from the permeate 54 can be.
- the setting of the permeate target composition is carried out by metering in caustic soda and / or other suitable additives, such as complexing agents, inhibitors, precipitants for heavy metals, optionally from additive containers 62, 64, 66, 68 via a Dosierventilan Aunt 70 and a metering 72nd be supplied.
- suitable additives such as complexing agents, inhibitors, precipitants for heavy metals
- additive containers 62, 64, 66, 68 optionally from additive containers 62, 64, 66, 68 via a Dosierventilan Aunt 70 and a metering 72nd be supplied.
- the metering from the additive containers 62, 64, 66 and 68 can also take place via individual metering pumps and metering lines, so that the additive containers are each connected to the metering container 56 via their own line and metering pump. This eliminates the metering valve assembly 70th
- the variant shown in FIG. 2 has the advantage that the filling of the permeate tank 54 and the metered addition of the original volume flow 50 from the metering tank 56 into the pickling bath 1 for setting the desired pickling solution composition can take place in parallel, while in the embodiment described above the filling and the metering takes place in sections.
- aluminate should be removed to avoid precipitation. In the illustrated embodiment, this is done via the feed valve assembly 48, deducted over the concentrated permeate / aluminate 52 from the dosing 56 and a collecting 74 is supplied - so that the aluminate concentration in the dosing 56 and / or in the pickling solution 2 is lowered.
- the aluminate solution received in the collecting container 74 can be circulated via a circulating pump 76 and a circulating line 78.
- a trigger valve assembly 80 aluminate can be withdrawn from the sump 74 and fed to a recycling.
- a special feature of this process variant is that the concentration of the recorded in the dosing aluminate / permeate can be detected on the analytics 10 and 70, a targeted target concentration can be adjusted by suitable control of the metering valve, which then - for example, not with regard to the pickling process - but is optimized for reuse. That is to say, when the aluminate is withdrawn from the metering container 56, the aluminate concentration can be deliberately adjusted to a concentration by addition of sodium hydroxide solution and additives, for example complexing agents, which ensures optimum reuse with a stabilized solution and thus also makes it interesting for the companies that reduce the aluminate is.
- FIG. 2 also contains a further embodiment of the method according to the invention or the system according to the invention.
- pickling solution 2 is fed to the solids separation 4 and the resultant low-solids fraction (solids content nearly 0%) is then fed to the one- or two-part feed tank 6, in which the desired concentration is set and from which the permeate feed is then fed to the pickling solution 2 becomes.
- FIG. 2 shows a variant which, of course, can also be used in the system diagram according to FIG. 1 and in which a solution from another upstream or downstream process stage, for example an E0 pickling 82 or a first sink (see the cited state of the art) via a Feed pump 84, a feed valve assembly 86 and a supply line 88 downstream of the valve assembly 14 is supplied to the material flow. That is, the original volume flow 50 consists not only essentially of a subset of the pickling bath 1 but may partially or completely - depending on the setting of the valve assemblies 14 and 86 and the other process step, for example, the E0 pickling 82 are removed.
- a solution from another upstream or downstream process stage for example an E0 pickling 82 or a first sink (see the cited state of the art) via a Feed pump 84, a feed valve assembly 86 and a supply line 88 downstream of the valve assembly 14 is supplied to the material flow. That is, the original volume flow 50 consists not only essentially of a sub
- pickling solution 1 directly from the E0 pickling 82 to the pickling bath 1 via the feed valve arrangement 86.
- a feed is indicated in the system diagram according to FIG. 2 with the direct feed line 90.
- the two valve assemblies 14, 86 also to a single valve assembly be summarized.
- the supply line 88 may also open before or after one of the individual solid separation steps.
- a heavy metal precipitation takes place within the pickling bath 1.
- this precipitation can also take place outside the pickling bath 1.
- the heavy metal precipitation in the sedimentation tank 20 (thickener), in which case the required amount of precipitant / sodium sulfide is first determined via process analysis 10 and then metered in from containers 92, 94. As a result, an overdose of sodium sulfide can be excluded.
- the additive container containing the precipitant for example the additive container 66
- the additive container containing the precipitant will then be connected to the sedimentation container 20 via the metering valve arrangement 70.
- the permeate 24 can - as indicated in Figure 2 - even in bypassing the analysis 10 via a line 96 and a valve assembly 98 directly into the feed tank 6 (Figure 1) or the permeate 54 ( Figure 2) are performed.
- the inventive method makes it possible for the first time to reduce the dissolved heavy metal concentrations in the stain as well as in aluminate to a minimum, which is not possible in a precipitation in the pickling bath, as is the case in the prior art, due to a temperature dependence.
- the precipitation of heavy metals outside the pickling bath has the following advantages:
- the precipitation can be targeted, an overdose of the precipitant is not required;
- the selection of heavy metal precipitants is limited in the conventional precipitation in the bathroom, since interfering ions can adversely affect the pickling process.
- the selection of precipitants during precipitation in the pickling bath is still limited, since this can have a negative influence on the pickling process.
- the risk of carryover into subsequent rinsing baths and the possibility of contamination in the wastewater limits the choice of precipitant.
- the sulfide concentration is limited to 1 mg / l according to WHG, Appendix 40. This can not be adhered to when precipitating in the pickling bath (by adding additive mixture), since overdosing takes place and the amount removed is correspondingly high;
- a method for treating workpieces of aluminum or aluminum alloys and a system that can be operated by such a method.
- a partial amount of a solution is withdrawn from a bath for the treatment of the workpieces, freed from solids and fed back to the bath at a predetermined concentration and a predetermined volume flow.
