Title: Waste acid recycling via diffusion dialysis

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/105034· OSTI ID:105034

Inorganic acids are commonly used for surface cleaning and finishing of metals. The acids become unuseable due to contamination with metals or diluted and weakened. Diffusion dialysis has become a way to recover the useable acid and allow separation of the metals for recovery and sale to refineries. This technique is made possible by the use of membranes that are strong enough to withstand low ph and have long service life.
