The invention discloses a method for comprehensively utilizing low-grade
phosphate ores. In the traditional method, acid
phosphate is used as a catalyst to participate in a reaction and used for removing iron and recovering iron
hydroxide and
phosphate radicals, the investment is increased because novel working sections and equipment are additionally provided in the process, and in addition, the liquid-
solid separation process is more difficult because the iron
hydroxide is a
colloid. The method comprises the following steps of: carrying out ball-milling treatment on
nickel laterite ores and low-grade phosphate ores in respective ore
grinding systems; mixing the obtained
nickel laterite ores and low-grade phosphate ores and concentrated
hydrochloric acid with the
mass percentage of 20-35%, and carrying out leaching reaction; carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the obtained leaching residues and leaching liquid in a
filter press, wherein the residue cleaning process is also carried out in the
filter press; and mixing a cleaning solution and the leaching liquid,
settling by using
lime milk to obtain
chromium, and then, carrying out a
nickel settlement reaction and a
magnesium settlement reaction by using the
lime milk. According to the invention, the characteristics of components of the phosphate ores and the nickel
laterite ores are reasonably utilized, and the comprehensive utilization of the leaching residues of the nickel laterite ores is realized.
