Health and Safety Risks Associated with Waste from Stainless Steel Production

Image
Modern industry has kept stainless steel production as a cornerstone that provides important materials for – automotive, construction, medical equipment and numerous other sectors. However the process of manufacturing stainless steel produces significant waste that gives birth to serious health and safety risks if not managed properly. This blog will explore the probable risks and demonstrate the innovative acid management solutions of Scancon to mitigate all the issues. The Nature of Waste in Stainless Steel Production During the stainless steel production process, a variety of hazardous wastes are generated. These include: Spent acid Solutions Stainless steel finishing processes, including passivation and pickling, rely on strong acids, including hydrofluoric acid (HF) and nitric acid (HNO3). After long period, these solutions become contaminated with dissolved impurities and metals that create spent acid waste. Metallic Sludge The chemistry between acids and stainl...
