Environmentally friendly stainless steel pickling
Abstract
Stainless steel pickling is a major generator of NOx emissions and is also a major producer of nitrate effluents. Hydrogen peroxide technologies have been developed and proven to suppress NOx emissions and also to replace nitric acid in the pickling process and hence remove the problem of nitrate effluent discharge. Presents case histories to illustrate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide both for NOx suppression and for nitric acid‐free pickling when pickling stainless steels.
