Problems solved by technology

By neutralizing and removing iron, the resulting precipitate has a high viscosity and is difficult to wash, and the filtration burden is huge
Despite the multi-stage washing method, there is still a large amount of nickel and cobalt mixed into the iron slag and cannot be recovered

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for extracting nickel-cobalt from laterite by using resin-in-pulp adsorption technology. The process comprises the following steps of: milling the laterite, and adding sulfuric acid into the milled laterite to perform high-pressure leaching; pouring the ore pulp after the leaching into a reaction kettle for neutral impurity removal; directly pouring the ore pulpafter the impurity removal into an adsorption tank to perform resin adsorption; adopting multilevel counter current absorption to perform desorption on the loaded resin so as to obtain pure nickel and cobalt mixed solution; and performing extraction separation to obtain a nickel-cobalt product. The resin can be used repeatedly after regeneration, the damaged resin is less, the service life of theresin is long, the desorption of the loaded resin and the regeneration of a poor resin are performed at normal temperature and normal pressure and are simple and easy to operate without a pressure vessel and heat regeneration device, thereby saving energy resources and reducing equipment investment. The ore pulp after adsorption is uniformly neutralized to reduce the tailings treating cost. The process shortens the technological process, reduces the liquid-solid separation burden, and reduces a great number of washing and filtering process steps, thereby reducing the production energy consumption and reducing the production cost. The process is simple, and the recovery rate of nickel and cobalt is over 90 percent.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a non-ferrous metal hydrometallurgy technology, in particular to the extraction and recovery of nickel and cobalt from ore pulp by adopting a pulp resin adsorption technology after adopting wet high-pressure leaching of laterite ore. Background technique: [0002] About 30% of the global terrestrial nickel resources occur in sulfide ores, and 70% in laterite ores (nickel oxide ores). Currently only about 40% of global nickel production comes from laterite ores. With the acceleration of the development of laterite mine projects in the world in recent years, it is estimated that more than 50% of the global nickel production will come from laterite mines by 2012. Laterite ore has the characteristics of refractory mineral separation. Compared with nickel sulfide ore, laterite ore for smelting treatment has lower ore grade, higher smelting cost, and relatively poor development economy. [0003] The process of processing nickel ox...
