The invention belongs to the technical field of
nickel material
smelting, and discloses a method for preparing high-purity
nickel by synergic circulation of electrodeposited
nickel anolyte, which comprises the following steps: performing primary nickel
precipitation on a nickel
sulfate solution and
sodium carbonate, and performing
solid-liquid separation to obtain
nickel carbonate and primary filtrate; carrying out second-stage nickel
precipitation on the first-stage filtrate and
sodium hydroxide, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain nickel
hydroxide and second-stage filtrate; the method comprises the following steps: performing electrodeposition on
nickel carbonate and nickel
hydroxide, performing
acid dissolution on anolyte to generate a nickel-containing solution, preparing a new
cathode solution from the nickel-containing solution, pure water,
boric acid, the anolyte and
sodium sulfate, and performing electrodeposition to obtain high-purity nickel. The process has remarkable advantages,
sodium carbonate is used for primary nickel
precipitation, the requirement for large-scale nickel precipitation is met, and the product is easy to filter and low in cost;
sodium hydroxide is used for secondary
nickel deposition, deep
nickel deposition is achieved, the use amount is small, and the defect of difficult
filtration is avoided; and the front
nickel deposition process can intercept impurities, the
impurity removal effect and the separation efficiency are both considered, and the overall production cost is greatly reduced.
