Definitions
- the present invention relates to an acid concentration measuring apparatus and an acid concentration measuring apparatus capable of measuring the acid concentration of a pickling solution contained in a pickling tank in a continuous pickling facility for steel or the like at sufficiently short measurement intervals.
- Pickling refers to, for example, the oxidation scale present on the surface of a treated steel sheet such as a cold-rolled steel sheet, a hot-rolled steel sheet as a rolled material of the cold-rolled steel sheet, or a hot-rolled steel sheet as a final product, and the treated steel sheet is treated with hydrochloric acid or It is a treatment to remove by immersing in a pickling solution such as sulfuric acid or spraying a pickling solution on the surface of the treated steel sheet.
- This pickling is performed, for example, by continuously passing a treated steel sheet through a continuous pickling facility provided with a plurality of pickling tanks containing pickling liquid arranged in parallel in the plate direction.
- the acid concentration in each pickling tank, especially in the final pickling tank greatly affects the efficiency of removing the oxide scale. For this reason, acid pickling using this continuous pickling equipment requires accurate control of the acid concentration.
- the acid concentration of the pickling solution contained in the pickling tank was measured using a tabletop measuring device, and the acid solution was manually transferred to the pickling tank based on the measurement results.
- this tabletop measuring instrument in the pickling tank of the continuous pickling equipment, automatically measure the acid concentration, and based on the measurement result, determine the amount of acid solution supplied to the pickling tank.
- the acid concentration of the pickling solution contained in the pickling tank is measured and the acid solution is supplied.
- the acid solution is manually supplied to the pickling tank, it cannot accurately cope with a change in the acid concentration of the pickling liquid contained in the pickling tank. For this reason, the acid concentration of the pickling solution tends to fluctuate greatly, and the supply amount of the acid solution tends to be excessive for safety. For this reason, if the acid solution is manually supplied to the pickling tank, the basic unit of the acid solution deteriorates.
- a titration analyzer to automatically measure the acid concentration of the pickling solution contained in the pickling tank by installing a tabletop measuring instrument in the pickling tank.
- the measurement using this titration analyzer is performed by sequentially introducing a sample solution, a reagent, and a washing solution into a measurement cell. For this reason, since the flow of the sample liquid in the measurement cell is intermittent, the staying sample liquid solidifies in the pipe and the pipe is clogged, so that the measurement cannot be performed in a short time after the measurement is started.
- Titration analyzers are expensive. Therefore, when there are multiple types of sample liquids, each sampling pipe is connected to one titration analyzer in parallel, and measurement is performed by switching each sampling pipe. For this reason, clogging of the piping frequently occurs even by switching the sampling piping.
- each pickling tank is partitioned by a partition plate, and the pickling liquid contained in the downstream pickling tank sequentially overflows to the upstream pickling tank, and the final pickling tank as well.
- the supply amount of the acid solution was controlled according to the acid concentration of the solution.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-126322 discloses that in a jet pickling facility, the acid concentration of a pickling solution contained in a circulating tank at the most upstream is adjusted and the amount of acid added at that time is adjusted. By supplying an acid solution of a certain amount to the downstream circulation tank, and adjusting the acid concentration and supplying the acid sequentially to the downstream circulation tank, the acid solution is stored in each circulation tank. There is disclosed an invention for controlling the acid concentration of a pickling solution obtained.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-125270 discloses that a pickling tank is connected to a circulating tank via a pipe to circulate the pickling liquid, and the pickling liquid is taken out from a part of the pipe, and the pickled acid is taken out.
- the acid concentration of the washing solution is intermittently measured by an acid concentration analyzer, and the level of the pickling solution contained in the circulating tank is measured.
- An invention for supplying acid and supplying water is disclosed.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-147895 discloses that each pickling tank has a separate circulating device for the pickling liquid, and that the pickling tank overflows between adjacent pickling tanks.
- a method for controlling the acid concentration of a pickling liquid contained in a pickling tank in a continuous pickling facility of a type not accompanied by the method is disclosed.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-54175 discloses that the pickling loss is determined from the difference in the thickness of the treated steel sheet before and after pickling using a continuous pickling facility, and the pickling loss is determined based on the determined pickling loss.
- a method for controlling the feed rate and the acid concentration is disclosed.
- the acid concentration analyzer used in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-1125270 is installed via a shutoff valve on a branch pipe branched from a return pipe for pickling liquid. This indicates that this acid concentration analyzer is of the same type as the titration analyzer described above. For this reason, in the present invention, too, the acid concentration of the pickling solution was measured to be sufficiently short. It cannot be measured at regular intervals. For this reason, it is difficult to control the acid concentration of the pickling solution with high accuracy even by the present invention. Further, in the present invention, when water is supplied, the acid concentration of the waste acid decreases. For this reason, according to the present invention, the acid source unit is deteriorated when recovering the waste acid.
- the acid concentration of the pickling liquid stored in each of the pickling tanks can be controlled independently, so that high accuracy is achieved. It is possible to control the acid concentration of the pickling solution.
- the control according to this proposal cannot be applied to a type of continuous pickling equipment in which the pickling solution overflows between adjacent pickling tanks without any equipment modification.
- the acid solution in order to apply the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-147895 to a continuous pickling facility of a type in which the pickling solution overflows between adjacent pickling tanks, the acid solution must be used. It is necessary to install a circulation tank, a circulation pump, waste acid / acid supply piping, etc. for each pickling tank. Therefore, considerable capital investment and installation space are required, and it is actually extremely difficult to implement the present invention.
- the scale loss in pickling also varies depending on the scale thickness, and this scale thickness varies depending on, for example, the winding temperature during hot rolling. Therefore, in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-54175, the amount of change in the acid concentration of the pickling solution and the amount of pickling loss are not always equal. For this reason, the control accuracy of the acid concentration of the pickling solution is reduced by an amount corresponding to the deviation between the amount of change in the acid concentration of the pickling solution and the amount of the pickling loss.
- U.S. Pat.No. 5,175,502 discloses that the pickling solution taken out of the pickling tank is diluted with water to prevent clogging of the pickling solution, and that the pickling solution is diluted based on the density, conductivity and temperature of the diluted pickling solution.
- the acid concentration of a pickling solution is measured.
- the pickling solution is diluted with water, the pickling solution after the measurement becomes waste liquid. Therefore, the measurement cost is increased in the present invention. Disclosure of the invention

Conventionally, even if the pickling solution is continuously flowed in this way, a portion where the flow velocity decreases always occurs, and it is considered that the pickling solution clogs in a short time at the portion where the flow speed decreases. I was Therefore, in the past, the in-situ measurement of the acid concentration of the pickling solution that continuously flows in this way has not been considered enough.
