Abstract
Abstract A process for treating waste rolling oil in the form of an oil and water emulsion. The oil and water emulsion is used during the cold rolling of steel to reduce the thickness thereof and is treated by breaking the emulsion with waste pickling acid solution and thereafter converting iron ions present in the waste pickling acid solution to magnetite particles which absorb the oil. The magnetite particles and the oil absorbed thereby are separated from the solution leaving a clarified solution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A process for treating an oil and water emulsion wherein the oil and water emulsion contains not more than about 10% oil, the oil having a SUS viscosity at 100° F. of about 270 ± 10 and a saponification number of about 43 ± 3, comprising mixing the oil and water with a hydrochloric acid solution containing iron ions to break the oil and water emulsion, adjusting the pH of the solution with lime to a value in the range of from about 7 to about 12 and mixing oxygen therewith while maintaining the solution at a temperature in the range of from about 100° F. to about 212° F. to convert said iron ions into magnetite particles for absorbing the oil and separating the magnetite and the oil absorbed thereby from the solution to produce a clarified solution and a non-oily filter cake.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
144 words
A process for treating an oil and water emulsion wherein the oil and water emulsion contains not more than about 10% oil, the oil having a SUS viscosity at 100° F. of about 270 ± 10 and a saponification number of about 43 ± 3, comprising mixing the oil and water with a hydrochloric acid solution containing iron ions to break the oil and water emulsion, adjusting the pH of the solution with lime to a value in the range of from about 7 to about 12 and mixing oxygen therewith while maintaining the solution at a temperature in the range of from about 100° F. to about 212° F. to convert said iron ions into magnetite particles for absorbing the oil and separating the magnetite and the oil absorbed thereby from the solution to produce a clarified solution and a non-oily filter cake.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process set forth in claim 1, wherein the volume ratio of the acid solution to the water and oil emulsion is maintained greater than 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process set forth in claim 1, wherein the acid in the acid solution is present in the range of from about 1.0 to about 65 grams per liter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process set forth in claim 1, wherein the iron in the acid solution is present in the range of from about 1.0 to about 160 grams per liter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process set forth in claim 1, wherein the acid solution having the oil and water emulsion mixed therein is maintained at a temperature in excess of 100° F. while the pH is being adjusted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
The process set forth in claim 1, wherein the acid solution having the oil and water emulsion mixed therein is maintained at a temperature of about 115° F. and the pH is maintained in the range of from about 8 to about 10 by adding lime thereto.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
130 words
A process for treating a waste rolling oil and water emulsion wherein the rolling oil and water emulsion contains not more than about 10% rolling oil, comprising mixing the rolling oil and water emulsion with a waste acid pickle liquor containing iron ions to break the rolling oil and water emulsion, adjusting the pH of the solution with lime to a value in the range of from about 7 to about 12 and mixing oxygen therewith while maintaining the solution at a temperature in the range of from about 100° F. to about 212° F. to convert said iron ions into magnetite particles for absorbing the rolling oil and separating the magnetite and rolling oil absorbed thereby from the solution to produce a clarified solution and a non-oily filter cake.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
130 words
A process for treating a waste rolling oil and water emulsion wherein the rolling oil and water emulsion contains not more than about 10% rolling oil, comprising mixing the rolling oil and water emulsion with a waste acid pickle liquor containing iron ions to break the rolling oil and water emulsion, adjusting the pH of the solution with lime to a value in the range of from about 7 to about 12 and mixing oxygen therewith while maintaining the solution at a temperature in the range of from about 100° F. to about 212° F. to convert said iron ions into magnetite particles for absorbing the rolling oil and separating the magnetite and rolling oil absorbed thereby from the solution to produce a clarified solution and a non-oily filter cake.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process set forth in claim 7, wherein the filter cake has a solids content in the range of from about 40% by weight to about 60% by weight.
