The invention discloses a
steel cylinder cleaning method. The method comprises the steps that ethyl
alcohol is injected into a
steel cylinder; rolling the
steel cylinder filled with the
ethanol for multiple times to rinse the inner wall of the steel cylinder, and then emptying the
ethanol in the steel cylinder; injecting
ultrapure water into the steel cylinder cleaned by the
ethanol; rolling the steel cylinder filled with the
ultrapure water for multiple times, rinsing the inner wall of the steel cylinder, and then emptying the
ultrapure water in the steel cylinder;
nitric acid is injected into the steel cylinder cleaned by the ultrapure water,
metal ions in the steel cylinder are dissolved, and then the
nitric acid in the steel cylinder is emptied; injecting ultrapure water into the steel cylinder to rinse the steel cylinder, and emptying the ultrapure water in the steel cylinder; taking the discharged ultrapure water as a sample, and detecting the content of residual
metal ions in the steel cylinder; according to the obtained
metal ion content, whether the steel cylinder meets the cleanliness requirement or not is judged, if the cleanliness requirement is met, a small amount of
nitric acid is added into the steel cylinder, sampling detection is conducted after the steel cylinder is moistened and washed, and if the test result is consistent with the previous metal
ion content, the steel cylinder is clean. According to the steel cylinder cleaning method,
external source introduction is avoided while metal
ion impurities in the steel cylinder are treated.
