Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004020700A1] A process for pickling and/or passivating stainless steel, wherein the stainless steel is brought into contact with an aqueous treatment solution with a pH value of 2.5 or below, which contains Fe(III) ions which are reduced to Fe(II) ions during pickling, wherein Fe(II) ions are re-oxidized continuously or discontnuously by the injection or oxygen gas or of a gas mixture containing more than 10 % by volume of oxygen gas, and wherein a non-gaseous oxidizing agent is additionally added to said aqueous treatment solution as long as either the actual Fe(III) concentration is by more than 3 g/l lower than the optimum Fe(III) concentration, or when the actual Fe(III)/Fe(II) weight ratio is by more than 0.15 lower than the optimum Fe(III)/Fe(II) weight ratio, and the addition of the non-gaseous oxidizing agent is terminated when either the actual Fe(III) concentration is equal to or higher than the optimum Fe(III) concentration, or when the actual Fe(III)/Fe(II) weight ratio is equal to or higher than the optimum Fe(III)/Fe(II) weight ratio.
