The present invention provides surface treatment liquid for a surface treatment 
capsule, which contains no ingredients that are harmful to the environment, produces no waste 
sludge, is capable of separating 
coating on a 
metal surface, and has excellent 
corrosion resistance; and the present invention provides a surface treatment method. In particular, the present invention provides 
metal surface treatment liquid and aqueous surface treatment liquid that can be used for the surface treatment of one or more than two 
metal materials that are chosen from iron materials, 
zinc materials, aluminum materials and 
magnesium materials. The liquid contains metal elements that contain 5ppm to 5000ppm of more than one compound that are chosen from 
zirconium compounds and 
titanium compounds, and 0.1ppm to 100 ppm of free fluorion; and the pH value is 2 to 6. Thus the treatment liquid can contain 
calcium compounds, 
magnesium compounds or 
strontium compounds, 
nitrate, oxyacid and / or oxysalt, polymers and surfactants. The 
capsule can be formed when a metal material contacts the treatment liquid or is electrolyzed in the liquid.
