acid bath
Caustic liquid immersion
An acid bath is a container of corrosive acid used for industrial purposes like cleaning metal or etching surfaces.
The term also refers grimly to using acid to dissolve human remains—a method associated with certain notorious murders: The killer disposed of the bodies in an acid bath.
In photography, acid baths fix or stop development of prints.
