Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing ferronickel from lateritic nickel ores, particularly a method for producing ferronickel from lateritic nickel ores by metallizing reduction roasting-magnetic separation. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: adding additives and a carbonaceous reducing agent into lateritic nickel ores, carrying out reduction roasting, quenching with water, grinding, and carrying out magnetic separation to obtain the ferronickel alloy. In the method, the magnetic separation is directly carried out to obtain the ferronickel alloy powder with high nickel grade; the additives are added to lower the reduction temperature; not all the materials need to be heated to 1500 DEG C, thereby lowering the energy consumption; and the technique has slight influence on the environment, and thus, is an economical method for producing ferronickel from lateritic nickel ores, thereby having wide application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing ferronickel from laterite nickel ore, which relates to a method for producing ferronickel by using laterite nickel ore as raw material through metallization reduction roasting-magnetic separation. Background technique [0002] The processing technology of laterite nickel ore can be divided into two types: fire method and wet method. The pure wet process is mainly an acid leaching process, including conventional atmospheric pressure acid leaching and high temperature pressure acid leaching. The conventional atmospheric pressure acid leaching process has the disadvantages of high acid consumption and low metal recovery, while the high temperature pressure acid leaching , although the metal recovery rate has increased, there are disadvantages of high investment cost, long construction period, and insufficient technical maturity. Therefore, pyrometallurgy will still be the dominant process for processing late...
