The invention provides a one-step
nickel smelting system and a one-step
nickel smelting method. The one-step
nickel smelting system comprises a
raw material conveying device, a one-step nickel smelting device and a
flue gas treatment device; the one-step nickel smelting device is an integrated device and comprises a furnace body, and a
molten pool smelting area and a reduction depletion area are sequentially arranged inside the furnace body; a first feeding inlet and a first blower
nozzle are formed in the
molten pool smelting area, the first feeding inlet is connected with the
raw material conveying device, and the
molten pool smelting area is used for performing molten
pool smelting on
nickel sulfide concentrates to produce high nickel matte containing 35-65 wt% nickel, smelting
slag andflue gas; the reduction depletion area communicates with the molten
pool smelting area, a second feeding inlet, a second blower
nozzle and a
flue gas outlet are formed in the reduction depletion area, and the reduction depletion area is used for enabling the smelting
slag to be subjected to the depletion reaction to produce depleted
slag and first metallized nickel matte; the
flue gas treatment device is connected with the
flue gas outlet. The problems such as high
raw material feeding-into-furnace conditions of the DON process, high
nickel content in the smelting slag, large load and
high energy consumption when an electric furnace separately treats the smelting slag are effectively solved.
