The invention discloses a method and
system for
processing high-iron
laterite nickel ore. The content of iron in the high-iron
laterite nickel ore is not lower than 30 wt%. The method comprises the steps that 1, the high-iron
laterite nickel ore, reducing agents and additives are mixed to prepare a ball, and a mixed pellet is obtained; 2, the mixed pellet is dried, and a dried pellet is obtained; 3, the dried pellet is subjected to reducing
roasting processing, and a metalized pellet is obtained; 4, the metalized pellet is subjected to water
quenching processing; 5, the metalized pellet which is subjected to water
quenching processing and obtained through the step 4 is subjected to ore
grinding magnetic separation processing, and an iron material containing nickel and
tailings are obtained; 6, the iron material containing the nickel is subjected to rusting processing, and hydrated
ferric oxide and a leaching agent rich in the nickel and
cobalt are obtained; and 7, the leaching agent rich in the nickel and the
cobalt is subjected to separation and purification, and
metal nickel and
metal cobalt are obtained. By means of the method for processing the high-iron laterite nickel ore, the problems that obtained product nickel is low in grade and
production rate when the high-iron laterite nickel ore is processed through a traditional
smelting technology can be solved, and the high-iron laterite nickel ore can be effectively used.
