Abstract

A method for extracting valuable metals from laterite nickel ore on the basis of the hydrochloric acid fully-closed circulation method belongs to the field of non-ferrous metallurgy. Crushed laterite nickel minerals are taken as raw material and the technique comprises the following technological steps: chlorination-leaching; recovering iron (Fe) from leaching residue; extracting nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co); spray-drying the mother liquor; and calcining. By leaching the laterite nickel minerals with a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and metal chlorides as a leaching agent under the proper conditions of heating and pressurizing and further precipitating nickel and cobalt with a compound vulcanizing agent, the overall recovery rate of nickel and cobalt is high; the closed circulation of hydrochloric acid is realized while processing the laterite nickel minerals with water and hydrochloric acid, therefore, the method is environment-friendly by realizing the zero discharge of waste water; comprehensive utilization of the resources, such as Ni, Co, Fe and Mg, in the laterite nickel ore can be realized; and the resources can be efficiently utilized and the clean production can be realized by recovering and reutilizing the waste heat and the residue acid during the production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting nickel and cobalt metals from laterite nickel ore and comprehensively utilizing valuable metals such as magnesium and iron, belonging to the field of nonferrous metallurgy. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore is a kind of nickel oxide ore, accounting for more than 65% of the total nickel reserves. Lateritic nickel ore is divided into limonite type and silicon magnesium nickel ore type. The limonite type is located in the upper part of the deposit, with high iron, low nickel, low silicon and magnesium, but relatively high cobalt content, and should be treated by hydrometallurgy. The silicon-magnesium-nickel ore is located in the lower part of the ore deposit. The content of silicon and magnesium is relatively high, the content of iron is low, and the content of cobalt is also low, but the content of nickel is relatively high. It should be treated by pyrometallurgy. The ore in the middle tr...
