For example, the liquid extracted from the first pickling tank contains 50 g / l nitric acid, and the liquid extracted from the second pickling tank contains 40 g / l nitric acid and 2 g / l hydrofluoric acid. . This is pressurized by the third pump 36, recovered by the acid recovery means 30, and stored in the recovered acid tank 37. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the principle of the acid recovery means 30. The acid recovery means 30 is a rectangular parallelepiped container partitioned by a partition wall 31 into many elongated chambers 32. Each room 32 is further partitioned into an M section and an N section by an anion exchange membrane 33.
The pickling solution containing the metal ions extracted from the third pump to the relay tank is supplied to the M section, the acid is recovered, and the waste acid is sent to the waste acid treatment device 38. Water is supplied to the N section,
The acid is recovered and the recovered acid is sent to the recovery acid tank 37. Since the anion exchange membrane 33 transmits only anions and not cations, the anions NO and F contained in the M portion are N.
Part of the water, and promotes ionization of hydrogen ions (H + ) and hydroxide ions (OH ) that are slightly ionized in the water of the N part. N
The OH generated in the part permeates the anion exchange membrane and moves to the part M. In this way, the nitrate ions (NO 3 ) and fluorine ions (F ) supplied to the M section are transferred to the N section and collected. On the other hand, the metal ions (cations) supplied to the M part cannot pass through the anion exchange membrane 33, and are sent to the waste acid treatment device 37 from the outlet of the M part. An example of the anion exchange membrane 33 that is conveniently used for a mixed acid of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid is Neoceptor AM-1 manufactured by Tokuyama Soda Co., Ltd. Since the acid recovery means 30 desirably has a constant flow rate of the exchange liquid due to the property of the anion exchange membrane 33, the relay tank 28 and the recovery acid tank 37 are placed in front of and behind it. Therefore, it is preferable that the third pump 36 operates at a certain water level or lower than the relay tank 28 and stops at a certain water level lower than that, and the water supply valve 34 supplied to the acid recovery means also operates the third pump. Those that open and close when stopped are preferable. The acid component is recovered by the acid recovery means 30 as shown in Table 1, for example.

Next, the means 40 for analyzing the pickling solution in the first and second pickling solution tanks 11 and 12 will be described. The liquid used in the pickling tank 11 or 12 is used at regular intervals, for example, every 10 minutes, when both pickling tanks are used.
Alternately, therefore every 5 minutes will be analyzed. Figure 4
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a relationship between the second pickling tank 12 and the analyzing means 40. This relationship is the same for the first pickling tank 11, but since hydrofluoric acid is not used, no fluorine ion analysis is performed. By opening the valve V2 and closing the valve V1, a fixed amount of the liquid in the second pickling tank 12, for example, 100 ml, is extracted by the metering pump 42. In the titration tank 41, the fluorine ion electrode 45 first measures the fluorine ion concentration. By measuring the fluorine ion concentration in the titration tank 41, the measurement time can be shortened easily and greatly. When this is finished, most of the liquid in the titration tank 41, for example, 90 ml, is returned to the second pickling tank 12 by the metering pump 43. Next, a predetermined amount of water for dilution is supplied to the titration tank 41 via the valve V4, and the stirrer 44
The valve V5 is opened with stirring the liquid diluted by and titrated with the alkali titration liquid 48. At the time of titration, the temperature of the liquid in the titration tank 41 is measured by the thermometer 46, and the electric conductivity is measured by the electric conductivity meter 47, and the concentration of free nitric acid and the metal ion concentration are calculated. The valve V6 is opened from inside 41 to discharge the liquid.

When a pickling solution of a mixed acid of nitric acid containing metal ions and hydrofluoric acid is titrated with an alkali titration solution 48 while measuring electric conductivity and temperature, a relationship curve as shown in FIG. 5 is obtained. In the figure, L1 is a curve in which the vertical axis represents the electric conductivity (1 / Ω) and the horizontal axis represents the titration time (sec) when a constant volume of the alkali titrant 48 is constantly dripped. It rises when the neutralization of nitric acid in is completed (in the case of this electric conductivity, when it rises, it is shown as falling on the vertical axis in the figure).

This is for the following reason. The following formula (I
In the equilibrium reaction of ferric fluoride produced by the reaction of free nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid with a metal, typically iron, as shown in I), when the solution before titration is acidic, this reaction proceeds from left to right, causing difficult dissociation.

When the addition is completed, the alkaline titrant solution 48, which is subsequently added dropwise, dissociates the hardly dissociative compound hydrofluoric acid (HF) generated in the above formula (II), as shown in the formula (IV). This is because, since NaF having a high degree of generation is generated and changed, the electric conductivity is increased as described above.

When the neutralization reaction of hydrofluoric acid (HF) is completed, this time, as shown in formula (V), the reaction between the metal ion represented by ferric ion present in the liquid and the alkali titration liquid 48 causes Ferric hydroxide, which is hard to dissociate, is generated.

However, when the reaction represented by the formula (V) is completed, this time, the alkaline titration liquid 48 of the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution having a high dissociation degree itself increases, so that the upward tendency is intensified.

According to the reactions represented by the formulas (II), (III), and (IV), does the nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid continue to rise (upward on the vertical axis in the figure) due to the heat of neutralization of these until neutralization?

Therefore, in the electric conductivity (1 / Ω) curve L1 shown in the figure, a point a at which the electric conductivity changes from a downward tendency to an upward tendency, and the horizontal axis A corresponding to this point a.

The concentration of metal ions can be obtained from Of these, for example, the concentration of ferric ion (Fe 3+ ) is obtained as follows. As described above, the abscissa indicates the titration time (sec) when the alkali titrant 48 is constantly dropped in a constant volume, and the abscissa corresponds to the point C on the curve L1 where the reaction of the formula (V) is completed. From the point C (Csec) and the point B (Bsec) on the horizontal axis corresponding to the point b on the curve L2 at which the neutralization reaction of the equation (IV) is completed and the reaction of the equation (V) starts, this equation ( The titration time [(C−B) sec] required for completion of the reaction of only V) can be obtained. Therefore, from these, the alkali titration required for completion of the reaction of only this formula (V) The titration amount of the liquid 48 and the amount of alkali contained in the titration amount, for example, NaO consumed for the titration

In this embodiment, when only the first pickling tank 11 is used, the pickling solution containing metal ions is used in the relay tank 2.

When using the pickling tank 12, the first and second pickling tanks 1
A pickling solution containing metals from 1, 12 will be used. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the balance of the pickling solution.
Generally, the second pickling tank 12 is used (FIG. 1 (1)) as compared with the case of using only the first pickling tank 11 (FIG. 1 (2)).
Since the cases of are equal or large, the recovered acid cannot be surplus. The liquid reduced from the second pickling tank 12 is taken out of the system together with the metal strip 1a in addition to the liquid extracted to the relay tank 28 by the second pump, and the second pickling tank 12 Some evaporate from. The temperature of the second pickling tank 12 is maintained at around 50 ° C., which is suitable for pickling. Therefore, the amount replenished from the recovery pickling tank 37 to the second pickling tank 12 is larger than the amount withdrawn from the first and second pickling tanks 11 and 12 to the relay tank 28. , Supplemented with hydrofluoric acid and water. Therefore, only one system from the relay tank 28 to the recovered acid tank 37 is sufficient.

Next, the operation of automatically extracting and replenishing the solution by the control means 15 based on the analysis result of the pickling solution in the first pickling tank 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Designating that the first pickling bath 11 is used, the process starts at step a1. At step a2, it is judged whether or not the metal ion concentration from the analyzing means 40 is a reference value, for example, 200 g / l or more. If this is 200 g / l or more, a fixed amount, for example, 1 m 3 of pickling solution is withdrawn by the first pump 16 to the relay tank 28 in step a3. 100 liters of nitric acid corresponding to the pickling solution extracted in step a4, for example, nitric acid having a concentration of 600 g / l is replenished. At step a5, it is judged whether or not the nitric acid concentration from the analyzing means 40 is a reference value, for example, 50 g / l or less. When the nitric acid concentration is 50 g / l or less, a fixed amount of nitric acid, for example, a nitric acid having a concentration of 600 g / l is added in step a6.
It will be replenished in liters. For this replenishment of nitric acid, the difference from the reference concentration is calculated, and it is preferable to replenish in an amount commensurate with the difference, but in the case of this device that analyzes every 10 minutes and replenishes based on this, a rapid change in nitric acid concentration Since it does not exist, a certain amount of nitric acid is supplied without special calculation. This is also applied when supplying nitric acid or hydrofluoric acid to the second pickling tank 12 described later.

In step a7, the valve 17 for supplying water is opened for a certain period of time. The valve 17 is further opened / closed by the liquid level of the first pickling tank 11, so that the liquid level of the first pickling tank 11 becomes the reference liquid level.

In step a8, it is determined whether 10 minutes have elapsed. If 10 minutes have elapsed, the process proceeds to step a9, and it is determined whether a series of pickling treatments has been completed. If the pickling process is not completed, the process returns to step a2, and if it is completed, the process ends in step a10. When the metal ion concentration is less than 200 g / l in step a2, steps a3 and a4 are bypassed. When the nitric acid concentration exceeds 50 g / l in step a5,

Since nitric acid is replenished without removing the liquid, theoretically,
The amount of the pickling solution in the first pickling tank 11 increases by 100 liters, but this amount is absorbed as a dead space in the first pickling tank 11. Further, since the pickling solution is brought out of the system along with the metal strip and the working temperature of the first pickling tank 11 is maintained at about 50 ° C., the solution is reduced due to evaporation of the solution. It is not a normal operation that the liquid overflows from the first pickling tank 11. This also applies to the second pickling tank 12 described later.

Next, the operation of automatically extracting and replenishing the pickling solution by the control means 15 based on the analysis result of the pickling solution in the second pickling tank 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Designating that the second pickling tank 12 is used, the process starts at step b1. In step b2, it is judged whether the metal ion concentration from the analyzing means 40 is a reference value, for example, 200 g / l or more. If this is 200 g / l or more, a fixed amount, for example, 1 m 3 of pickling solution is withdrawn to the relay tank 28 by the second pump 21 in step b3. In step b4, it is judged whether or not there is recovered acid in the recovered acid tank 37. If there is recovered acid, the process proceeds to step b5, the recovered acid pump 22 operates, and the recovered acid supply valve 26 opens. The valve 26 also opens and closes depending on the liquid level of the second pickling tank 12,
When the second pickling tank 12 reaches the standard liquid level, the pump 22 is stopped and the valve 26 is closed. If the recovery acid tank 37 is empty, the process proceeds to step b6, and 80 liters of nitric acid corresponding to the liquid extracted in step b3, for example, 600 g / l nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, for example, 120 g / l hydrofluoric acid 20 liters. And are replenished. At step b7, it is judged whether the concentration of hydrofluoric acid from the analyzing means 40 is a reference value, for example, 2 g / l or less. When the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 2 g / l or less, a constant amount of hydrofluoric acid, for example 120 g, is added in step b8.
20 liters of hydrofluoric acid / liter are supplied. Step b9
Therefore, the nitric acid concentration from the analyzing means 40 is a reference value, for example, 40
It is determined whether it is less than or equal to g / l. Nitric acid concentration is 40g /
If it is 1 or less, 80 liters of a fixed amount of nitric acid, for example, 600 g / l of nitric acid is replenished in step b10. In step b11, the valve 23 that supplies water is opened for a certain period of time.
