Method for producing electronic grade
nickel sulfate from
nickel powder,
crystallization apparatus, and control thereof The present invention provides a method for producing
nickel sulfate, and nickel
sulfate produced thereby. The process includes acid leaching,
copper removal, acid adjustment, concentration, cooling
crystallization,
drying and sieving, and secondary leaching. Oxidation In the
calcination furnace, the temperature is 400 to 700°C, and 1 kg of
compressed air is used for each
kilogram of nickel
powder. ~5m 3 The reaction time is 1.0 to 2.5 hours, and the temperature during acid immersion is controlled to 45 to 70°C. Then, add dilute
sulfuric acid to control the pH to 0.5-1.5 and react for 1-3 hours. The
copper removal is to replace the
copper with nickel
powder, and the acid conditioning is to use nickel
hydroxide or The pH is adjusted to 2.5-4.5 using
nickel carbonate, and the filtrate is concentrated by The cooling
crystallization method is to obtain nickel sulfate crystals and return the
mother liquor to the concentrate.
Drying and sieving is to add the undersieved material to the crystallizer as seed crystals, and secondary leaching is to Dilute
sulfuric acid is added to the leaching
slag, and it is reacted with nickel sulfate or
hydrogen peroxide until nickel is less than 0.1%. If the first stage is full, the second leaching is continued. The crystallizer is a crystallizer that is connected in series with a second-stage crystallizer and a third-stage crystallizer. A crystallization frame, an oscillator provided under the crystallization frame, and an oscillator provided at the exit end of the crystallization frame. The crystallization frame is a rectangular parallelepiped. The bottom of the ribs are evenly spaced, with a cross section of a circular arc. The distance between two adjacent ribs is S is 1 / 25 to 1 / 15 of the width of the crystallization frame, and either the width b or the height h of the rib The width of the crystallization frame is 1 / 100 to 1 / 150 of the width of the crystallization frame. It does not add any new
impurity ions, and does not add any
oxidizing agent. The nickel sulfate
crystal particles produced are uniform and are free of the static generation. This avoids
caking of very large particles, irregularly shaped particles and crystals.
