The invention provides a method for separating and recovering
cobalt,
copper and iron in
white metal, comprising the following steps: step 1, mixing
white metal powder with water, stirring and slurrying to obtain a
slurry mixture; step 2, adding to step 1 In the obtained
slurry mixture, after adding concentrated
sulfuric acid while stirring, the first solution is obtained; step 3, at a temperature of 70°C to 85°C, adding
sodium nitrate solution to the first solution obtained in step 2 while stirring, When Cu in solution 2+ When the
ion content is 2g / L~8g / L, stop adding the
sodium nitrate solution to obtain the second solution. Step 4, adding
iron powder to the second solution obtained in step 3, reacting, and filtering to obtain simple
copper and a third solution, the third solution is a
mixed solution containing
cobalt and iron. Then,
iron powder is used to replace
copper with copper, so that copper,
cobalt and iron are separated, and then further
recovery of cobalt and iron is carried out. The method has mild reaction, stability, safety, easy control, high
leaching rate and easy realization of large-scale production.
