本発明は、鋼材の表面に付着したスケール(酸化物)を除去する酸洗に際し、NOガスの発生を防止ないし抑制できる酸洗方法および酸洗装置に関する。 The present invention, upon pickling to remove scale (oxides) adhering to the surface of the steel material to a pickling method and pickling device can be prevented or suppressed generation of the NO X gas.

熱間圧延などの熱間加工により製造された棒鋼、鋼線、平板などの鋼材の表面に付着したスケール(酸化物)を除去する脱スケールは、効率上の観点から一般には、硝酸などの酸性液中に上記鋼材を浸漬する酸洗処理によって行われている。係る酸洗時には、硝酸(HNO)と2価鉄との過剰な反応などによって、環境上有害なNOガスが発生することがある。
上記酸洗時におけるNOガスの発生を抑制するため、硝酸を用いた酸洗液中のFe3+/Fe2+比とHNO濃度との関係を、数式で示す一定の範囲に維持する酸洗液からのNOガス発生抑制方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
Descaling to remove scale (oxide) attached to the surface of steel materials such as steel bars, steel wires, and flat plates manufactured by hot working such as hot rolling is generally acidic from nitric acid and the like from the viewpoint of efficiency. The pickling process is performed by immersing the steel material in the liquid. During such pickling, environmentally harmful NO x gas may be generated due to an excessive reaction between nitric acid (HNO 3 ) and divalent iron.
In order to suppress the generation of NO X gas during the pickling, the pickling that maintains the relationship between the Fe 3+ / Fe 2+ ratio and the HNO 3 concentration in the pickling solution using nitric acid within a certain range expressed by a mathematical formula. A method for suppressing NO X gas generation from a liquid has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

以下において、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について説明する。
図1は、本発明の酸洗装置1を示す概略図である。
係る酸洗装置1は、図1に示すように、酸洗液Lが入れられた液槽2と、係る酸洗液Lを循環させつつ熱交換する熱交換器6と、係る熱交換器6との間で冷媒を循環させる冷却ユニット10と、を含んでいる。上記熱交換器6と冷却ユニット10とは、本発明の冷却手段を構成している。
所定量の硝酸および弗酸が添加された酸洗液Lが充填されている液槽2には、例えば、直径約1〜数cmで且つコイル状に巻き付けた線材(鋼材)Mが、その槽壁3の開口部から酸洗液L中に浸漬可能とされている。係る線材Mは、その中空部に支持枠Fの水平片を挿入することによって、係る支持枠Fと共に昇降および水平移動可能とされている。
In the following, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a pickling apparatus 1 of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pickling apparatus 1 includes a liquid tank 2 in which the pickling liquid L is placed, a heat exchanger 6 that exchanges heat while circulating the pickling liquid L, and the heat exchanger 6. And a cooling unit 10 that circulates the refrigerant between them. The heat exchanger 6 and the cooling unit 10 constitute the cooling means of the present invention.
In the liquid tank 2 filled with the pickling solution L to which a predetermined amount of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid is added, for example, a wire (steel material) M having a diameter of about 1 to several cm and wound in a coil shape is provided in the tank. It can be immersed in the pickling liquid L from the opening of the wall 3. The wire M can be moved up and down and horizontally with the support frame F by inserting a horizontal piece of the support frame F into the hollow portion.

尚、前記線材Mは、例えば、工具鋼またはステンレス鋼からなり、例えば、インゴット鋳造された鋳塊に対し、熱間鍛造および熱間圧延を施したもので、その表面全体には、2価鉄を含むスケール(酸化物)が膜状に生成されている。
図1に示すように、液槽2の槽壁3には、液槽2中の酸洗液Lを排出する排液管4と、液槽2中に酸洗液Lを供給する給液管5とが貫通している。係る排液管4と給液管5とは、熱交換器6のタンク7内に配置された螺旋形状を呈する熱交換管8の両端に個別に接続されている。
尚、上記排液管4および給液管5の少なくとも一方には、液槽2と熱交換管8との間で酸洗液Lを循環させるためのポンプ(図示せず)が取り付けられている。また、上記熱交換器6のタンク7は、外部と断熱可能な構造を有している。
The wire M is made of, for example, tool steel or stainless steel. For example, the ingot cast ingot is subjected to hot forging and hot rolling, and the entire surface thereof is divalent iron. The scale (oxide) containing is produced in the form of a film.
As shown in FIG. 1, on the tank wall 3 of the liquid tank 2, a drain pipe 4 for discharging the pickling liquid L in the liquid tank 2 and a liquid supply pipe for supplying the pickling liquid L into the liquid tank 2. 5 and penetrates. The drainage pipe 4 and the liquid supply pipe 5 are individually connected to both ends of a heat exchange pipe 8 having a spiral shape disposed in the tank 7 of the heat exchanger 6.
A pump (not shown) for circulating the pickling liquid L between the liquid tank 2 and the heat exchange pipe 8 is attached to at least one of the drainage pipe 4 and the liquid supply pipe 5. . The tank 7 of the heat exchanger 6 has a structure that can be insulated from the outside.

熱交換器6のタンク7には、冷却ユニット10内の冷媒タンク11との間で、冷媒を循環させるための供給管12および排出管13が接続され、これらの一方にはポンプ(図示せず)が取り付けられている。冷却ユニット10内には、図示しないヒートポンプを含む冷却器Cが配置され、図1中の上下2つの矢印14,15で示すように、冷媒タンク11との間で、所定の温度に冷却した冷媒を循環可能とされている。尚、上記冷媒には、非フロン系ガスが用いられている。   The tank 7 of the heat exchanger 6 is connected to a supply pipe 12 and a discharge pipe 13 for circulating the refrigerant between the tank 7 and the refrigerant tank 11 in the cooling unit 10, and a pump (not shown) is connected to one of these. ) Is attached. In the cooling unit 10, a cooler C including a heat pump (not shown) is arranged, and as shown by two upper and lower arrows 14 and 15 in FIG. 1, the refrigerant cooled to a predetermined temperature with the refrigerant tank 11. Can be circulated. Note that a non-fluorocarbon gas is used as the refrigerant.

図1に示すように、液槽2内の酸洗液Lには、温度センサ(測温手段)16が浸漬され、これにより検出された液温を電気信号に変換した後、係る液温の信号が28℃以下に設定された設定温度(目標温度/しきい値)であるか否かをコントローラ17で判別する。例えば、液温が上記設定温度を超えている場合、コントローラ17は、液温を設定温度以下に冷却するため、信号f1を冷却器Cの制御器18に対して発信する。係る制御器18は、冷却器Cに対して信号f2を発信し、そのヒートポンプにおけるコンプレッサ(図示せず)回転数を高めさせることで、冷媒の温度を低下させる。尚、上記コントローラ17と制御器18とは、本発明のフィードバック手段を構成している。   As shown in FIG. 1, a temperature sensor (temperature measuring means) 16 is immersed in the pickling liquid L in the liquid tank 2, and the liquid temperature detected thereby is converted into an electrical signal. The controller 17 determines whether or not the signal is a set temperature (target temperature / threshold value) set to 28 ° C. or lower. For example, when the liquid temperature exceeds the set temperature, the controller 17 transmits a signal f1 to the controller 18 of the cooler C in order to cool the liquid temperature below the set temperature. The controller 18 transmits a signal f2 to the cooler C, and increases the compressor (not shown) rotation speed in the heat pump, thereby lowering the temperature of the refrigerant. The controller 17 and the controller 18 constitute feedback means of the present invention.

酸洗装置1において、液槽2内の酸洗液Lは、熱交換器6との間で循環されることで、冷媒と熱交換されて冷却されるため、常に28℃以下に保たれ、熱交換器6で熱交換されて昇温した冷媒は、冷媒タンク11を介して、冷却器Cのヒートポンプを循環することにより、所定の温度以下に冷却される。
図1に示すように、液槽2の酸洗液L中に線材Mを浸漬すると、酸洗液L中の硝酸や弗酸と、線材Mの表面に付着しているスケールの2価鉄などとが、反応して反応熱を生じるため、酸洗液Lの温度が上昇する。また、液槽2の開口部から外部の輻射熱などが酸洗液Lに伝達されることによっても、係る酸洗液Lの温度上昇を招くことがある。
In the pickling apparatus 1, the pickling liquid L in the liquid tank 2 is circulated between the heat exchanger 6 and cooled by heat exchange with the refrigerant, so that it is always kept at 28 ° C. or lower. The refrigerant whose temperature has been increased by heat exchange in the heat exchanger 6 is cooled to a predetermined temperature or less by circulating through the heat pump of the cooler C via the refrigerant tank 11.
As shown in FIG. 1, when the wire M is immersed in the pickling solution L of the liquid bath 2, nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid in the pickling solution L, scale divalent iron attached to the surface of the wire M, etc. Reacts to generate heat of reaction, so that the temperature of the pickling solution L rises. In addition, the temperature of the pickling liquid L may be increased by transmitting external radiant heat or the like from the opening of the liquid tank 2 to the pickling liquid L.

次述するように、酸洗液Lの温度が28℃を越えた場合、突発的ないし不規則的にNOガスが発生することが、発明者らによる実験によって、経験的に明らかになっている。そこで、温度センサ16により、酸洗液Lの温度が28℃を越えたことが検出された場合には、前記信号f1,f2と制御器18とを介して、冷却器Cの冷却能力を高めるように調整する。その結果、液槽2内に酸洗液Lの温度を28℃以下の温度域に自動的に復帰させると共に、係る温度域に保つことができる。
従って、以上のような酸洗装置1によれば、従来のように過酸化水素などの酸化剤や尿素を添加するなどの煩雑な操作を行うことなく、NOガスの発生を防止して、線材Mの酸洗を容易で安全に且つ低コストで行うことが可能となる。
As will be described below, it has been empirically revealed through experiments by the inventors that NO X gas is generated suddenly or irregularly when the temperature of the pickling solution L exceeds 28 ° C. Yes. Therefore, when the temperature sensor 16 detects that the temperature of the pickling liquid L exceeds 28 ° C., the cooling capacity of the cooler C is increased via the signals f1 and f2 and the controller 18. Adjust as follows. As a result, the temperature of the pickling liquid L can be automatically returned to the temperature range of 28 ° C. or lower in the liquid tank 2 and can be maintained in the temperature range.
Therefore, according to the pickling apparatus 1 as described above, generation of NO X gas can be prevented without performing a complicated operation such as adding an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or urea as in the prior art, The pickling of the wire M can be performed easily, safely and at low cost.

ステンレス鋼(SUS304)からなり、熱間圧延された直径2cmで且つ同じ寸法のコイル状に巻き付けた重量が1トンである線材Mを複数個用意した。
係る線材Mの脱スケールに必要な量の硝酸および弗酸を添加した酸洗液Lを、前記液槽2に入れて、その液温を23℃〜35℃の範囲で変化させた。しかも、同じ液温において、当初の酸洗液Lを用いて線材Mを酸洗した場合と、既に別の線材Mを1回ないし複数回にわたり酸洗した酸洗液Lを用いて線材Mを酸洗した場合ごととに分けて、複数個の線材Mを個別に酸洗した。尚、酸洗液Lに対する各線材Mの密度(ρ)は、全ての線材Mで共通とした。
各酸洗時ごとにおいて、NOガスが発生した否かを、酸洗液Lの液面から排出される色彩(黄色)の有無、およびガスセンサの双方によって判定した。
A plurality of wire rods M made of stainless steel (SUS304) having a diameter of 2 cm and a weight of 1 ton wound in a coil having the same dimensions were prepared.
The pickling solution L to which nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid required for descaling the wire M was added was put into the liquid tank 2 and the temperature of the solution was changed in the range of 23 ° C to 35 ° C. Moreover, at the same liquid temperature, when the wire M is pickled using the original pickling solution L, the wire M is prepared using the pickling solution L that has already pickled another wire M once or several times. A plurality of wire rods M were individually pickled separately for each case of pickling. The density (ρ) of each wire M with respect to the pickling solution L is common to all the wires M.
Whether or not NO X gas was generated at each pickling time was determined by both the presence or absence of a color (yellow) discharged from the surface of the pickling solution L and the gas sensor.

それらの結果を、図2のグラフに示した。尚、図2のグラフの縦軸は、酸洗時ごとにおける酸洗液L中に含まれていた2価鉄の濃度(%)を示し、これが0%の酸洗液Lは、初めて酸洗を行ったものであり、0.5%から1.0%に上昇するに連れて、2回目ないしそれ以上の回数で酸洗を行ったものである。
図2のグラフによれば、酸洗液Lの温度が23℃〜28℃の温度範囲で、前記線材Mを酸洗した実施例では、2価鉄の濃度が0〜1.0%の何れであっても、何れもNOガスの発生が確認されなかった。
The results are shown in the graph of FIG. The vertical axis of the graph in FIG. 2 indicates the concentration (%) of divalent iron contained in the pickling solution L at the time of pickling, and the pickling solution L having 0% is the first pickling solution. In this case, pickling was performed for the second or more times as the temperature increased from 0.5% to 1.0%.
According to the graph of FIG. 2, in the example in which the temperature of the pickling liquid L is in the temperature range of 23 ° C. to 28 ° C. and the wire M is pickled, the concentration of divalent iron is 0 to 1.0%. Even in these cases, no generation of NO X gas was confirmed.

一方、酸洗液Lの温度が28.5℃〜35℃の温度範囲で、前記線材Mを酸洗した比較例では、液温が29℃で且つ2価鉄の濃度が0.5%、液温が31℃で且つ2価鉄の濃度が0.8%、および、液温が35℃で且つ2価鉄の濃度が0.7%であった3つの酸洗時において、NOガスの発生が確認された。
係る結果によれば、酸洗液Lの温度を少なくとも28℃以下に保つことで、硝酸イオンと2価鉄との反応が何らかの理由により抑制されるため、NOガスの発生を防ぐことができた、ものと推定される。一方、図2のグラフ中でハッチングによって示した酸洗液Lの温度が28℃を越える28.5℃以上の温度帯は、NOガスが発生し得る危険領域である、と推定することも可能である。
On the other hand, in the comparative example in which the temperature of the pickling liquid L is 28.5 ° C. to 35 ° C. and the wire M is pickled, the liquid temperature is 29 ° C. and the concentration of divalent iron is 0.5%, During three picklings in which the liquid temperature was 31 ° C. and the concentration of divalent iron was 0.8%, and the liquid temperature was 35 ° C. and the concentration of divalent iron was 0.7%, NO X gas The occurrence of was confirmed.
According to the result, since the reaction between the nitrate ion and the divalent iron is suppressed for some reason by keeping the temperature of the pickling solution L at least 28 ° C., generation of NO X gas can be prevented. Estimated. On the other hand, the temperature range of 28.5 ° C. or higher where the temperature of the pickling solution L indicated by hatching in the graph of FIG. 2 exceeds 28 ° C. may be estimated as a dangerous region where NO X gas can be generated. Is possible.

前記NOガスが発生する原因ないしメカニズムに対する学術的ないし金属化学的なアプローチは、今後の研究に委ねざるを得ないところである。
しかしながら、前記実施例により、少なくとも硝酸および弗酸を所要量ずつ添加された酸洗液L中で、表面にスケールを有する鉄系の金属を酸洗する酸洗処理では、上記酸洗液Lの温度を28℃以下に保って行うことで、NOガスの発生を防ぐことができるか、少なくともかなり抑制することが可能となる。係る実施例の結果、本発明の酸洗方法が、環境上の観点から有用であり、且つ実操業の観点から望ましいことが判明した。
以上のような実施例によって、本発明の酸洗方法の優位性が容易に理解されよう。しかも、係る酸洗方法を実施するには、本発明の前記酸洗装置1を用いることが、実用的で且つ低コストであることも、容易に理解されるところである。
An academic or metal chemistry approach to the cause or mechanism of the generation of NO X gas must be left to future research.
However, according to the embodiment, in the pickling treatment of pickling iron-based metal having scale on the surface in the pickling solution L to which at least nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid are added in the required amounts, the pickling solution L By maintaining the temperature at 28 ° C. or lower, generation of NO X gas can be prevented or at least considerably suppressed. As a result of the examples, it has been found that the pickling method of the present invention is useful from the viewpoint of environment and desirable from the viewpoint of actual operation.
By the above examples, the superiority of the pickling method of the present invention will be easily understood. Moreover, it is easily understood that it is practical and low-cost to use the pickling apparatus 1 of the present invention to implement the pickling method.
