Abstract
A system for recycling heat treating salts such as nitrates and nitrites from a rinse bath including means to prevent the excessive build-up of impurities such as carbonates or chlorides which impair heat treat efficiency. For example, carbonates which form in a nitrate-nitrite quench bath and chlorides which are carried by drag-out into a nitrate-nitrite quench bath from a chloride heat treating bath are removed by concentrating the rinse water, removing undesirable components from the concentrate and returning molten rectified salt to the quench.
