Problems solved by technology

Although this method requires less equipment than the conventional pressure leaching method, and the technology is easy to master, the impurity content in the obtained leaching solution is high, and the subsequent purification process is difficult. In addition, this method does not mention the recycling of iron, and the economy is not good.
[0007] In summary, the above process improvements for laterite nickel ores with different contents may have disadvantages such as high temperature and high pressure oxygen ventilation, high equipment requirements, high economic cost and complicated process technology, or low recovery rate of valuable metals and poor selectivity, etc. Insufficient, all failed to comprehensively utilize limonite-type lateritic nickel ore

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for leaching limonitic laterite nickel ore and relates to a process method for recovering nickel, cobalt and iron through treatment of laterite nickel ore by wet process. The method is characterized in that the technical process comprises: (1) grinding raw limonitic laterite nickel ore into fine powder, making slurry, adding sulfuric acid, heating the slurry and leaching the slurry; (2) adding Mg(NO3)2 into the pre-leached slurry, heating with stirring, pressurizing the slurry and leaching the slurry; 3) at the end of leaching, neutralizing the slurry, removing iron and aluminum from the slurry, and separating to obtain a leaching solution and a leaching residue; and 4) washing the leaching residue to obtain washing liquid and iron-enriched slag, neutralizing the leaching solution, precipitating nickel and cobalt, obtaining nickel and cobalt hydroxides, evaporating a mother solution from which nickel and cobalt are separated to crystallize magnesium sulfate and comprehensively recovering magnesium sulfate. The method realizes the high-efficiency selective leaching of nickel and cobalt, the leaching rate reaches over 90 percent, the iron leaching rate is lower than 0.8 percent and iron-enriched slag with an iron content of over 55 percent is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a limonite-type laterite-nickel ore leaching method, relating to a process method for recovering nickel, cobalt and iron by wet processing the laterite-nickel ore. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore is a mineral formed by long-term weathering and leaching of nickel-containing olivine. Because the oxidation of iron after the deposit is weathered makes the ore red, it is commonly known as laterite nickel ore. According to the different contents of iron, silicon, magnesium and nickel in the deposit, lateritic nickel ore can be divided into two types: limonite-type laterite-nickel ore and silicon-magnesium-nickel ore-type laterite-nickel ore. Generally speaking, the former has lower nickel grade and iron grade Higher, suitable for wet process, the latter has relatively high nickel grade and relatively low iron grade, suitable for pyrometallurgy, and the total resource of the former is about twice that of the latter. ...
