End date 30 June 1999

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 1 289 500,00

EU contribution € 773 700,00

Objective

The objective of the research project is to develop a new pickling technique based on continuous pickling bath regeneration using new processes for mixed acid pickling of high-grade steel surfaces. Different regeneration processes in combination with new mixed acids, oxidizing agents and stabilizers will be investigated and evaluated in comparative studies. The result will be an optimized pickling process with constant pickling bath composition for improved steel surface properties and reduced environmental impact.
