Problems solved by technology

Because the high magnesium content in the ore will increase the consumption of acid, increase the production cost, and cause adverse effects on the process
In addition, high-pressure operating conditions also limit the application of high-pressure acid leaching.
Atmospheric pressure acid leaching is currently the most commonly used process for the treatment of laterite nickel ore. This process has the advantages of simple operation, low energy consumption, no use of high-pressure equipment, and low investment costs. However, the recovery rate of nickel is low and the pollution is serious.
Microbial leaching is a relatively environmentally friendly treatment method for laterite nickel ore, but there are problems such as long production cycle, high cost of microbial cultivation, and non-recyclable organic acids.
[0005] The above-mentioned methods for treating laterite nickel ore only focus on the recovery of low-content nickel in the ore, and some recover iron and cobalt, while other components are discharged as waste slag and waste liquid, which not only takes up a lot of land, but also seriously pollutes surroundings

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for processing laterite nickel ore, and a method for comprehensively utilizing laterite nickel ore to separate and extract nickel, magnesium, iron, aluminum and silicon. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore is a mixture of hydrated iron oxide and hydrated magnesium silicate formed by long-term large-scale weathering, leaching, alteration, and enrichment of nickel-containing ores. It is a loose clay-like nickel oxide ore resource containing a lot of water. , easy to mine, difficult to process. At present, the usable part of lateritic nickel ore is generally divided into three layers: limonite layer, silicon magnesium nickel ore layer and the transition layer between the two. The chemical composition of laterite nickel ore varies not only from deposit to deposit, but even in the same deposit, the content of nickel, cobalt, iron, magnesium, etc. varies with the depth of the deposit, which increases the cost ...
