Abstract
Acid pickling of stainless steel annually generates approximately 30 million gallons of depleted nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid solutions as an undesirable byproduct. Disposal of these acid solutions significantly increases the cost of manufacturing stainless steel. Recent advances in ion-selective membrane technology have opened new avenues to economically regenerate these acid solutions as an alternative to disposal. Experimental work has indicated that an electrodialysis cell utilizing ion-selective membranes has potential for separating dissolved metals from depleted pickling acid solutions, allowing the acids to be regenerated for return to the pickling process.
