This invention relates to the acid pickling of metals, and particularly to the reduction of hydrogen evolution and loss of metals therein. 5 According to the present invention hydrogen evolution and excessive attack of the metal are substantially reduced or prevented in the cleaning of metals, particularly ferrous metals, by pickling in an acid bath consisting wholly or in part of acid derived iromacid sludgeffom'the'sifliiific acid treatment of a ti'oleumpilwhich-has been subjected to cracking temperatures. It is preferred to employ acid derivedfrom sludge resulting from the tmatment with sulfuric acid of oils cracked under pressure at temeratures which are usually in excess of 700 Serial No. 247,746.
to about to H SO and further a tgamed This treatment efl'ectively drives dors. The resulting aci 1s a clear, brownish red liquid which may be diluted directly to a concentration suitable for the picklin operation ornnafi he adm1xed with other sicid and diluted. 0 tarry mata iggn sludges derived irom distilmdilution and its odor late .procncts siid h as cracked gasoline and kero e are referred. As a specific examp e 1 may e stated that good results are obtained with acid recovered from sludge resulting from the treatment of pressure distillate, produced, for example, by the Burton process at temperatures of 720-7 60 F. and
is greatly improved.- The deodorized strong acid is relatively inactive towards ferrous metals and may suitably be transported in steel tank cars to the places where it is to be diluted and used in pickling.
It must be understood that the invention is not limited to the use of an acid derived 7n pressures above 4 atmospheres, with sulfuric from a sludge frompressure distillate, since agid of about 66 Baum although other acid strengths may 53 employed if desired. While the restraining effect with regard to metal attack is possessed by the pressure distillate sludge, to a high degree, a preliminary treatment is necessary in order to avoid several objections which arise in actual practice. For example, if such sludge is diluted to the extent necessary to produce a pickling bath of normal acid content there would be a tend ency for asphaltic matters to precipitate upon the metal under treatment, thereby preventing efi'ective pickling and causing imerfections in the finished metal when subected to tinning or other subsequent operations. Another objection is that the sludge possesses a nauseating odor when raised to pickling temperature. Both these disadvantages can be substantially completely overgood results may be obtained with acid from sludges derived from other distillates and residues from the various known cracking processes.
According to the invention, the pickling bath may be of any suitable concentration and may be used at any suitable temperature. Ordinarily the initial concentration used is between 5 and 10% of sulfuric acid although higher concentration may used?
