Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the existing electrolytic nickel production process, the "nickel sulfide anode electrolysis" process has good electrolytic nickel quality, but the loss of nickel is large and the residual electrode rate is high; "selective leaching of high matte nickel sulfuric acid" is a classic process of nickel wet refining. It has the advantages of high comprehensive recovery rate, low equipment corrosion, etc., and the process is more flexible; the main disadvantage of "high matte nickel chlorination refining" is that the equipment is highly corrosive and the chlorine gas recovery system is complicated; "crude nickel anode electrolytic refining" is nickel The traditional process of smelting, after high-nickel matte is oxidized and roasted, it is reduced and smelted in an electric furnace or a reverberatory furnace to cast a thick nickel anode, and electrolysis is used to produce electric nickel
[0005] So far, in the development and utilization of laterite ore, the wet smelting high-pressure acid leaching, atmospheric pressure stirring leaching or heap leaching process can obtain the nickel-cobalt enrichment produced by smelting, and the grade of the nickel-cobalt enrichment is at 25 % to 35%, and its nickel-cobalt enrichment includes nickel hydroxide-cobalt enrichment, nickel-cobalt carbonate enrichment, nickel-cobalt oxide enrichment, nickel-cobalt sulfide enrichment; but the production of nickel-cobalt enrichment Electronic nickel is not yet a mature process
Due to the high content of impurities such as magnesium in the nickel-cobalt concentrate produced by the treatment of nickel laterite ore, it is difficult to solve the problem of magnesium accumulation by direct wet treatment, with high impurities, low metal recovery rate and high production cost

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing electrolytic nickel from nickel and cobalt enrichment of laterite ore, which relates to a production method of electrolytic nickel, in particular to a method for producing electrolytic nickel by using laterite ore. Background technique [0002] Nickel is an important strategic material, but there is a shortage of nickel resources in my country and a large gap between supply and demand, and most raw materials or finished products need to be imported from abroad. [0003] At present, most of the electric nickel is made of sulfide ore as raw material, which is rough refined into high nickel matte or sulfide anode, and then refined to produce electric nickel. The process mainly includes four types: (1) "direct electrolysis of nickel sulfide anode", (2) "selective leaching-purification-electrowinning of high nickel matte sulfuric acid", (3) "high nickel matte chlorination refining" and (4) "nickel concentrate ...
