Study on dechlorination salt characteristics of pickling sludge by a water-washing process.

Steel hydrochloric acid pickling sludge (SHPS), containing the heavy metals Fe, Zn, and Ni and a high chloride salt content, is considered a hazardous solid waste. With the gradual reduction of high-grade metal mineral resources such as Fe, Zn and Ni, it is particularly urgent to recycle valuable metals such as Fe, Zn and Ni in solid waste SHPS in order to realize the resource utilization of SHPS and reduce the environmental harm caused by SHPS. In addition, SHPS usually contains different amounts of alkali chloride, which will have a serious adverse impact on the subsequent extraction and smelting process of Fe, Zn and other metals.

Reduction-Magnetic Separation of Pickling Sludge by Biomass Pyrolysis Reducing Gas.

The neutralization process of carbon steel pickling wastewater produces a large amount of steel hydrochloric acid pickling sludge (SHPS), and improper treatment of this sludge poses a serious threat to the environment. Considering that SHPS contains a large amount of iron oxide and given the huge demand for iron concentrate in China's ironmaking industry, refining iron oxide in SHPS into iron concentrate will have great environmental and economic benefits. This paper proposes a new method that uses biomass (corncob) to replace conventional coal-based reductants for the recovery of iron components in SHPS to simultaneously utilize two kinds of solid waste resources.

Composition and Leaching Toxicity of Hydrochloric Acid Pickling Sludge Generated from the Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Industry.

Steel hydrochloric acid pickling sludge (SHPS), containing the heavy metals Fe, Zn, and Ni and a high chloride salt content, is considered a type of hazardous solid waste because of its potential harm to human health and the environment. In addition, the SHPS yield is large, but the main treatment currently used is only safe for landfills. Although studying the composition and leaching toxicity of SHPS is of great importance, only a small amount of related literature is available.
