Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a patent application entitled "A Countercurrent Pickling Regeneration and Recycling System and Process", the original application was filed on March 23, 2023, application number 202310288106.5. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of stainless steel production technology, specifically to a countercurrent pickling, regeneration, oxidation, and recycling device and method. Background Technology

[0003] Stainless steel possesses numerous excellent properties, including high corrosion resistance, and has been widely used in various industrial sectors and daily life. Currently, the stainless steel production industry mostly employs a mixed acid pickling process using HNO3 and HF. However, this pickling process still has some problems. On the one hand, the pickling process for stainless steel generates environmental pollution, such as NO produced by the reaction of HNO3 with low-valent oxides on the stainless steel surface. X Issues include the formation of SiF4 gas from SiO2 and HF in stainless steel oxides, and the treatment of nitrite wastewater. On the other hand, stainless steel pickling with mixed acids results in surface mottling and localized corrosion. Furthermore, current stainless steel pickling processes generate large amounts of pickling sludge, leading to excessively high costs. While using a nitric acid system with lime only produces heavy metal hydroxide precipitates with minimal sludge, the pickling environment is harsh, costs are high, and it generates large amounts of high-concentration calcium nitrate solution, causing environmental problems. Using a roasting method to treat pickling wastewater incurs high investment (approximately 50 million RMB) and operating costs. Reducing pickling sludge and treating pickling wastewater are challenging and critical issues in this industry. Therefore, the development of new stainless steel pickling processes is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific examples.

The pickling tank, the regeneration kettle and the oxidation kettle are each provided with a fluid delivery pump. The pickling tank is a sulfuric acid pickling tank, and n+1 pickling tanks are provided, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Further, n in the present application can be preferably 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, and further n is preferably 2.

[0019] Referring to Figure 1 , the pickling fluid in the first pickling tank first passes through the regeneration kettle, then passes through the oxidation kettle, and then enters the n+1 pickling tank, and then sequentially flows through the n pickling tank, the n-1 pickling tank, and then flows back to the first pickling tank, and finally flows back to the regeneration kettle, forming a reverse-flow pickling regeneration oxidation recycling system.

[0020] wherein the sulfuric acid acidity in the first pickling tank is N1, the sulfuric acid acidity in the n+1 pickling tank is Nn+1, and the values of N1 to Nn+1 decrease in turn. The total metal ion concentration in the first pickling tank is Me1, the total metal ion concentration in the n+1 pickling tank is Me n+1 , and the value of Me1 is the largest, and the values of Me1 to Me n+1 increase in turn. The Fe n+1 concentration in the first pickling tank is C1, the Fe n+1 concentration in the n+1 pickling tank is Cn+1, and the value of C1 is the largest, and the values of C1 to Cn+1 decrease in turn. 3+ 1-Fe3+ 3+ n+1-Fe3+ n+1-Fe3+ n+1-Fe3+ 1-Fe3+

[0023] Furthermore, the regeneration reactor of this application contains a regenerating agent, which is H2C2O4. Alternatively, the regeneration reactor is a freeze crystallization device, which removes metal sulfate salts through freeze crystallization to achieve regeneration.

[0024] In this application, the pickling fluid flowing out of the regeneration reactor is pickling fluid B, wherein the sulfuric acid concentration in pickling fluid B is >120 g / L, and the total metal ion concentration in pickling fluid B is Me. B , and Me B <50g / L.

[0025] This application employs countercurrent pickling, which makes the oxidized Fe-containing... 3+ The pickling solution flows in reverse, which helps to improve the passivation effect. Simultaneously, after the pickling solution flows out of the first pickling tank, a large amount of Fe... 3+ Consumption converted into Fe 2+ This method can improve the efficiency of acid regenerator use. This application regenerates the waste acid in the first pickling tank by adding oxalic acid to the waste acid solution to precipitate ferrous, nickel, and copper ions into oxalate, thereby reducing the concentration of metal ions in the waste acid and increasing the concentration of sulfuric acid in the pickling solution. In the above regeneration process of this application, sulfuric acid is appropriately added to the first pickling tank to ensure the acidity requirements of the regenerated pickling solution.

[0026] Furthermore, the oxidation reactor described in this application is equipped with an oxidant, which includes one or a combination of two or more of air, oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide or concentrated sulfuric acid, preferably hydrogen peroxide, oxygen or ozone.

The oxidation process described in this application cannot remove all ferrous ions, therefore an oxidation and appropriate supplementation of ferric ions is necessary to ensure sufficient ferric ion concentration to meet the pickling requirements.

[0030] Further, see Figure 2 The countercurrent pickling regeneration oxidation recycling device described in this application also includes a passivation tank, which is located between the n+1th pickling tank and the oxidation vessel. The pickling fluid passes through the oxidation vessel and then through the passivation tank into the n+1th pickling tank.

[0032] On the other hand, this application also provides a countercurrent pickling regeneration oxidation recycling method, the process including a stainless steel pickling process and a pickling solution regeneration oxidation countercurrent process, using the aforementioned countercurrent pickling regeneration oxidation recycling device.

[0033] The stainless steel pickling process includes n+1 pickling cycles: the stainless steel to be pickled is sequentially placed into pickling tanks 1 through n+1 for n+1 sulfuric acid pickling cycles, with a pickling temperature of 50~95℃; n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. In the pickling solution of the 1st pickling tank, the sulfuric acid concentration N1 < 200 g / L, the total metal ion concentration Me1 < 160 g / L, and the Fe... 3+ Concentration C 1-Fe3 <5g / L, C is preferred. 1-Fe3+ The concentration is 0.1~1 g / L.

[0034] Furthermore, the sulfuric acid pickling time in the first to the (n+1)th pickling tanks is generally set to decrease progressively. The preferred sulfuric acid pickling time in the first pickling tank is 60-180 seconds. The preferred sulfuric acid pickling time in the (n+1)th pickling tank is 30-90 seconds.

[0035] The specific steps of the pickling solution regeneration oxidation countercurrent process are as follows: (1) The first sulfuric acid pickling tank discharges pickling fluid A, which includes divalent iron ions, divalent nickel ions or divalent copper ions; the sulfuric acid concentration of pickling fluid A is ≤200g / L, or the total metal ion concentration of pickling fluid A is ≥160g / L. (2) Pickling fluid A enters the regeneration kettle and undergoes a regeneration reaction with the regenerating agent H2C2O4 or undergoes freeze crystallization to achieve regeneration, obtaining regenerated pickling fluid B; the sulfuric acid concentration in pickling fluid B is >120 g / L, and the total metal ion concentration Me B <50g / L; (3) The regenerated pickling fluid B enters the oxidation reactor to increase Fe. 3+ The concentration of Fe in the pickling fluid C was determined to obtain the pickling fluid C; 3+ Concentration C C-Fe3+ >5g / L; (4) Pickling fluid C enters the n+1 to 1st pickling tanks to participate in the n+1st sulfuric acid pickling steps, and sulfuric acid is added to the 1st pickling tank; (5) The pickling fluid A that has completed the pickling step re-enters the regeneration tank to complete the process of countercurrent, regeneration and recycling of the pickling solution.

[0036] In this application, the appropriate metal ion concentration is controlled during the oxidation process. As pickling proceeds, the metal ion concentration increases. After regeneration from the first pickling tank, the concentration is kept as close as possible to that of the previous batch of metal ions entering the tank, which helps to ensure stable pickling.

[0037] The process of this application only produces metal oxalate precipitate or metal salt after freeze crystallization, and no longer produces neutralization mud, which greatly reduces the amount of mud. The precipitate or metal salt obtained can be used directly as a valuable product.

[0067] Example 9 Based on Example 8, this embodiment further includes the following steps in the stainless steel pickling process: after pickling, the stainless steel enters a passivation tank for passivation reaction. The passivation temperature T is 62℃, and the passivation time is 180s, ultimately yielding bright white stainless steel with a passivation layer and no oxide scale residue, resulting in good stainless steel plate surface quality. The pickling solution regeneration oxidation countercurrent process further includes the following steps: the pickling fluid C passes through the passivation tank, and C in the passivation tank... 3-Fe3+ =15g / L, to obtain pickling fluid C', which then enters the second pickling tank.

[0068] Example 10 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 9 is that in the pickling solution of the first pickling tank, the sulfuric acid acidity N1 = 80 g / L, the total metal ion concentration Me1 = 120 g / L, and the Fe... 3+ Concentration C 1-Fe3+ =3g / L.

[0071] In the pickling solution of the first pickling tank, the sulfuric acid acidity N1 = 100 g / L, the total metal ion concentration Me1 = 80 g / L, and the Fe... 3+ Concentration C 1-Fe3+ =0.8g / L.

[0074] After pickling and passivation, the stainless steel surface has no oxide scale residue, and the passivation layer is bright white, resulting in excellent surface quality.

[0075] Example 13 The only difference between Example 13 and Example 1 is that the regeneration vessel is a cryogenic crystallization device. The regeneration vessel, acting as a crystallization vessel, has chilled water circulating through its jacket for cooling and solid-phase crystallization. Filtration separates the solid and liquid phases, yielding ferrous sulfate heptahydrate as granular crystals, a valuable product; while the outflowing pickling fluid is pickling fluid B.

The passivation reaction was carried out in a passivation tank at a passivation temperature T of 90℃ for 90s.

[0083] The oxide scale on stainless steel after pickling and passivation cannot be completely removed, and a bright white and dense passivation film cannot be formed, which also affects the regeneration and recycling process of the pickling solution.

[0084] The countercurrent pickling, regeneration, oxidation, and recycling apparatus and method described in this application include n+1 sulfuric acid pickling tanks and a fluid transfer pump, as well as a regeneration kettle and an oxidation kettle. The pickling fluid in the first pickling tank first passes through the regeneration kettle, then the oxidation kettle, and then enters the (n+1)th pickling tank. It then flows sequentially through the nth pickling tank and the (n-1)th pickling tank until it flows back countercurrently to the first pickling tank, and finally returns to the regeneration kettle. Regeneration is achieved through reagent regeneration or low-temperature crystallization, forming a countercurrent pickling, regeneration, oxidation, and recycling system. Using this application for stainless steel countercurrent pickling and passivation allows for complete recycling of the pickling solution, significantly reducing acid sludge and pickling costs, and producing no NO. X Harmful gases such as SiF4 gas are generated.

[0085] The countercurrent pickling regeneration oxidation recycling device and method described in this application can not only completely solve the NO problem in the mixed acid pickling process. X This invention addresses environmental pollution issues and can also improve the surface quality of pickled surfaces. The regenerated pickling solution is oxidized in a separate oxidation reactor, converting low-valence ions into high-valence ions, while simultaneously improving the Fe content of the oxidized solution. 3+ The pickling solution flows in the opposite direction, which not only accelerates the pickling process but also provides a passivation effect. On the other hand, after the pickling solution flows out of the first pickling tank, a large amount of Fe... 3+ Consume and transform into Fe 2+This process improves the efficiency of acid regenerator utilization. The entire process significantly reduces surface roughness and iron loss. Furthermore, since the volatile oxidant is not carried into the pickling tank, the problem of oxidant volatilization at high pickling temperatures is avoided. In addition, the method and process used in this application no longer generate neutralization sludge, greatly reducing the amount of sludge. Moreover, it allows for overall recycling and reuse, comprehensively reducing pickling costs.
