The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of
metal compounds, in particular to a preparation method of spherical
nickel oxalate, and aims to solve the problems of poor
morphology control of spherical
nickel oxalate products and low
mother liquor utilization rate caused by low
sphericity degree, wide
particle size distribution and influence of additives on process stability in the conventional preparation process of spherical
nickel oxalate. According to the method, by accurately controlling the concentration of the nickel
chloride solution, the
reaction temperature, the
oxalic acid adding mode and the like, the prepared spherical nickel oxalate is regular in morphology and uniform in
granularity, the Ni content is larger than or equal to 32%, and the
impurity element content is smaller than or equal to 0.007%; meanwhile, the
mother liquor treatment process is added, cyclic utilization of the
mother liquor is achieved, expensive equipment or additives are not needed, the quality requirement of a high-end nickel-based material for a precursor is greatly met, efficient and stable preparation of spherical nickel oxalate is achieved, meanwhile, the mother liquor
utilization rate is increased, and the production cost and
environmental protection pressure are effectively reduced; and the requirements on high-performance spherical nickel oxalate in the production of batteries, catalysts and the like are ensured.
