The application provides a method for preparing
nickel sulfide and
iron phosphate from a
nickel-iron
alloy and application thereof, and comprises the following steps: providing a
nickel-iron
alloy powder; adding a
phosphoric acid solution to the nickel-iron
alloy powder, performing a heating reaction, and obtaining a
phosphoric acid leaching solution after
filtration; adding
ferrous sulfide to the
phosphoric acid leaching solution, performing a
precipitation reaction, and obtaining a
nickel sulfide precipitate and an Fe 2+ containing filtrate after separation; adding an
oxidizing agent to the Fe 2+ containing filtrate and adjusting the pH to be acidic, and the
solid separated after the reaction is
iron phosphate dihydrate. The method is simple, convenient to operate, has mild
reaction conditions, high efficiency, does not need complex extraction equipment or
impurity removal systems, and is easy to realize industrial application. The whole process has good closed-loop circulation, the main reagents,
phosphate and
ammonium, can be recycled, and conforms to the development concept of green
metallurgy.
