Rinse water regeneration in stainless steel pickling

Since stainless steel must be rinsed with water after pickling operation with mixtures of nitric and hydrofluoric acids, the present investigation was undertaken to define a major step towards the close loop circulation of water in steel plant. This can be done by a new procedure for removing also n...
