  • Process for the regeneration of a spent solution for pickling zirconium alloy elements
    Patent number: 5788935
    Abstract: A substantial part of the water contained in the spent solution is evaporated under vacuum in an evaporator (7) and is then condensed, so as to obtain slightly acidic water and a concentrated acidic solution polluted by zirconium fluoride ZrF.sub.4. The polluted concentrated acidic solution is treated by evaporation under vacuum in a crystallizer (8), so as to obtain zirconium fluoride ZrF.sub.4 crystals and a purified concentrated acidic solution. The slightly acidic water and the purified concentrated acidic solution are mixed in desired proportions in order to obtain a regenerated pickling solution.
