Abstract

The invention relates to a process for extracting nickel and cobalt from laterite by ore pulp extraction technology, which comprises the following steps of: crushing and grinding the laterite; putting into a high-pressure kettle, and carrying out high-pressure acid leaching to remove iron; pouring into a mixing settling extraction tank with a stirring and settling tank and a baffle plate, carrying out 5-12 grade of extraction, back extraction and phase splitting and washing to respectively obtain mixed solution of nickel and cobalt, waste liquid containing impurities and the ore pulp; extracting and separating nickel from cobalt to respectively obtain pure nickel solution and pure cobalt solution; and precipitating and calcining to obtain nickel oxide and cobalt oxide products. The solution with high concentration is obtained by extraction, the process is shortened, the liquid-solid separation load and a number of washing and filtering processes are reduced, so that energy consumption of production and production cost are reduced and the economic benefit is improved. An extracting agent can be used repeatedly after being saponified and has relatively low comprehensive consumption. The speed of the extraction process is high and is commonly less than 10 minutes. The extraction efficiency is high. The extracted ore pulp can be neutralized uniformly so as to reduce the treatment cost of tailings. The process is simple; the recovery rate is higher; and the nickel and cobalt recovery rates are both more than or equal to 90 percent and the process is easy to popularize.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a non-ferrous metal hydrometallurgy technology, which is to extract and recover nickel and cobalt from ore pulp by adopting a pulp extraction technology after 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 oxide ore is mainly divided into ...
