Abstract

A process for treating and recovering pickling waste liquids used for the pickling of stainless steel such as nitric-hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and, sulfuric acid is disclosed, which comprises recovering the nitric-hydrofluoric acid and the iron oxide or metallic ion from the waste liquids of nitric-hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid by two solvent extraction processes and recovering the Cr and Ni containing ferrite from the waste liquids of sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid by a ferrite formation process. When the waste acid is sulfuric acid, gypsum of a high purity can be obtained.
