  Verfahren zur Aufarbeitung der beim Entzundern von
Stahl anfallenden Natronlauge 
Beim Entzundern von Stahl durch Beizen mit Säuren entstehen saure Abwässer, die neutralisiert werden müssen. Die Reinhaltung der Gewässer erfordert, dass derartige Abwässer neutralisiert werden. 



  Die dadurch entstehenden Aufwendungen sind erheblich und machen einen grossen Teil der gesamten Beizkosten aus. 



   Es ist an sich bekannt, Stahl dadurch zu entzundern, dass man ihn in einer überwiegend aus Natriumhydroxyd bestehenden natriumhydridhaltigen Schmelze bei 3500 C behandelt. Bei unlegiertem oder niedrig legiertem Material ist hiebei erfahrungsgemäss eine Nachbeizung mit Säure nicht mehr notwendig. Beim Abschrecken und Waschen des im Natriumhydridbad entzunderten Materials entsteht verunreinigte Natronlauge. 



   Erfindungsgemäss wird nun vorgeschlagen, diese Natronlauge durch Waschen im Gegenstrom soweit anzureichern, dass nach Neutralisieren mit Schwefelsäure und Abkühlen festes, kristallisiertes Natriumsulfat entsteht. 



   Vorteilhaft wird bis zu einer solchen Konzentration angereichert, dass die Natronlauge etwa   300/0   NaOH enthält. Versetzt man diese Natronlauge mit konzentrierter Schwefelsäure, so erhält man eine Lösung, die ungefähr der Formel   Na SO. 10 HO   entspricht. Eine solche Lösung erstarrt beim Abkühlen zu festem, kristallisiertem Natriumsulfat. 



   Die konzentrierte Natriumsulfatlösung kann man in Blechtrommeln füllen, erstarren lassen und dann nach Verfahren, die für unverwertbare Chemikalien üblich sind,   z. B.   durch Versenken im Meer, beseitigen. 



   Bei dieser Arbeitsweise entsteht keine   Abwässergefährdung !   es sind auch keine komplizierten, kostspieligen und reparaturanfälligen Anlagen zur Aufarbeitung von Abfallsäuren erforderlich, wie sie beim Beizen in Schwefelsäure oder Salzsäure unumgänglich nötig sind, um Verunreinigungen der Vorfluter mit Säure oder Eisenlösungen zu vermeiden.

  Process for reconditioning the descaling of
Caustic soda produced in steel
When steel is descaled by pickling with acids, acidic wastewater is produced which must be neutralized. Keeping water bodies clean requires that such waste water be neutralized.



  The resulting expenses are considerable and make up a large part of the total pickling costs.



   It is known per se that steel can be descaled by treating it in a sodium hydride-containing melt at 3500 ° C. which consists predominantly of sodium hydroxide. In the case of unalloyed or low-alloy material, experience has shown that pickling with acid is no longer necessary. When quenching and washing the descaled material in a sodium hydride bath, contaminated sodium hydroxide is produced.



   According to the invention, it is now proposed that this sodium hydroxide solution be enriched by washing in countercurrent to such an extent that solid, crystallized sodium sulfate is formed after neutralization with sulfuric acid and cooling.



   It is advantageous to enrich up to a concentration such that the sodium hydroxide solution contains about 300/0 NaOH. If this sodium hydroxide solution is mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid, a solution is obtained which roughly has the formula Na SO. 10 HO corresponds. Such a solution solidifies to solid, crystallized sodium sulfate on cooling.



   The concentrated sodium sulfate solution can be filled into metal drums, allowed to solidify and then after processes that are common for unusable chemicals, such. B. by sinking in the sea, eliminate.



   There is no waste water hazard with this working method! There is also no need for complicated, costly and repair-prone systems for processing waste acids, as are inevitable for pickling in sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid in order to avoid contamination of the receiving waters with acid or iron solutions.
