Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting nickel and cobalt from a laterite-nickel ore, comprising the following steps of mineral preparation, chloride leaching, solid-liquid separation, leaching liquid concentration, sulfide precipitation, solid-liquid separation and hydrochloric acid recovery of the laterite-nickel ore. A chloride leaching agent is mixing solution of metal chloride and hydrochloric acid; the leaching liquid is concentrated by heating; ferric chloride and magnesium chloride are crystallized and separated out so that Fe/Ni ratio is reduced below 1/5 of Fe/Ni ratio before the concentration; the magnesium oxide or the ferric oxide generated in the hydrochloric acid recovery process is used as neutralizer; polysulfide, just precipitated metal sulfide and metal sulfide are used as sulfuration precipitator; mother liquor with precipitated nickel is roasted with the ferric chloride and the magnesium chloride which are obtained by concentrating the leaching liquid; the metal chloride in the mother liquor and the metal chloride obtained from the concentration are hydrolyzed into chlorine hydride and metal oxide; and the obtained acid is recycled to use. The method for extracting nickel and cobalt from the laterite-nickel ore improves the leaching rate of valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt and so on in the leaching process of the laterite-nickel ore, reduces the energy consumption and is environment friendly.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting nickel and cobalt from Hongdi nickel ore, and belongs to the field of non-ferrous metallurgy. Background technique: [0002] Laterite nickel ore is a kind of nickel oxide ore, accounting for more than 65% of the total nickel reserves. Laterite nickel ore is divided into two categories: limonite type and magnesia nickel type. The type of limonite is located in the upper part of the deposit, with high iron, low nickel, low silicon and magnesium, but relatively high cobalt content, so it is appropriate to use hydrometallurgical processing. The silicon-magnesium-nickel ore is located in the lower part of the deposit. The content of silicon and magnesium is relatively high, the content of iron is relatively low, and the content of cobalt is relatively low, but the content of nickel is relatively high, so it should be treated by pyrometallurgical process. The ore in the intermediate transition can adopt pyrometall...
