The invention provides a method for recycling waste acid in a steel cord
electroplating process. The method comprises the following steps: collecting waste acid discharged by an electrolytic
pickling tank; freezing
crystallization treatment is performed at low temperature,
ferrous sulfate is separated out through
crystallization, and pretreated acid liquor is obtained after
recovery; filtering the acid liquor to remove
oil sludge impurities in the acid liquor, and storing at normal temperature; after secondary
filtration of the acid liquor, part is pumped out and diluted with water, the concentration of iron ions and
organic matter in the acid liquor is reduced, the
acid concentration is controlled, and diluted acid liquor is obtained; concentrated
sulfuric acid and diluted acid liquor are used for reconfiguration, and new dilute
sulfuric acid is obtained; and dilute
sulfuric acid is added into the electrolytic
pickling tank for electrolytic
pickling operation. According to the method,
ferrous sulfate can be recycled from the waste acid,
resource utilization of the waste acid is achieved, meanwhile, a dilute sulfuric acid preparation method is optimized, precipitates, impurities and acid liquor
turbidity are reduced, the quality of prepared electrolytic pickling sulfuric acid is improved, the surface quality of a steel wire and the efficiency of an electrolytic polar plate and a
heat exchanger are not affected, recycled waste acid is treated and utilized, and the economic benefit is increased. And emission and
pollution are reduced.
