Problems solved by technology

However, since there is a large amount of sulfuric acid in the leaching solution, it is possible to excessively dissolve iron equivalent to or above the reduction of trivalent iron ions, and excessively increase the iron concentration in the leaching solution.
[0017] Therefore, the following problems also arise: the use amount of the neutralizing agent and the amount of precipitate generated in the deferrification process increase, the cost increases, and at the same time, the co-precipitation with iron causes the loss of nickel to increase.

Embodiment 1

[0072] Residual charge is deactivated by reduction roasting in advance, and at the same time, the used nickel-metal hydride battery that reduced nickel and cobalt to a metal state is disassembled and separated, and the positive electrode material part is taken out. Next, the positive electrode material was cut into pieces using a cutting machine so that the size of one side was controlled within a range of 1 to 5 cm, and 1 kg of the baked positive electrode material was prepared and used in the following steps. In addition, the deactivation treatment of residual charge of the battery by reduction firing was carried out as follows: the used nickel-metal hydride battery was placed in an electric furnace, and the temperature was maintained at 550° C. while flowing nitrogen gas to form an inert atmosphere, and reduction firing was carried out for 1 hour.

[0073] (1) Washing process

[0074] 10 liters of water was added to 1 kg of the calcined positive electrode material, stirred ...

Embodiment 2

[0081] Since the Zn concentration in the nickel solution A obtained in Example 1 was 1.1 [g / L], the dezincification step shown below was implemented.

[0082] (4) Dezincification process

[0083] 1 liter of the obtained nickel solution A was put into a dezincification tank with a capacity of 2 liters. Blow hydrogen sulfide gas into the dezincification tank at a flow rate of 0.3 g / min. Nickel carbonate was added so that the pH of the generated slurry could be maintained in the range of 2.0 to 2.5.

[0084] Stirring was further continued for 10 minutes in this state to perform a reaction. After the reaction is finished, the content of the dezincification tank is filtered out and separated into a solution and a sulfide precipitate to obtain a solution A of dezincification nickel. Table 1 shows the analysis results of the components. As can be seen from Table 1, compared with the nickel solution A, the contained zinc is reduced to about one-tenth, which is Ni / Zn=82-890.

Embodiment 3

[0086] The positive electrode material 1.1kg that is baked the same as embodiment 1 is washed and separated, dried under the same conditions and operation as the (1) water washing process of embodiment 1, to obtain the positive electrode material after washing with a weight of 0.97kg after drying . The water-washed positive electrode material was pickled, separated, and dried under the same conditions and operations as in the (2) pickling step of Example 1 to obtain a pickled positive electrode material weighing 0.94 kg.

[0087] Furthermore, the acid-washed positive electrode material was put into a leaching tank with a capacity of 15 liters, 8.0 liters of water was added, and chlorine gas was blown in from a cylinder as an oxidizing agent at a flow rate of 1 liter per minute while maintaining the liquid temperature at 70°C. After stirring in this state for 8 hours, blowing of chlorine gas was stopped, and a nickel solution D was obtained by filtering.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing a solution that contains nickel and cobalt with high purity by more efficiently and easily separating nickel and cobalt from a positive electrode material of a used nickel hydrogen battery or a positive electrode material discarded during the production. This method is characterized by obtaining a nickel-containing acidic solution by processing a positive electrode material of a nickel hydrogen battery in: a water washing step wherein the positive electrode material of the nickel hydrogen battery is water washed by adding water thereto and then a positive electrode material after water washing and a water washing slurry are obtained by separation; an acid pickling step wherein an acid is added to and mixed with the positive electrode material after water washing obtained in the water washing step and the resulting mixture is separated into a positive electrode material after acid pickling and a solution after acid pickling, while maintaining the pH of the mixture within the range from 0.0 to 3.5 (inclusive); and a dissolution step wherein both or one of an acid and an oxidant is added to the positive electrode material after acid pickling obtained in the acid pickling step, thereby separating the positive electrode material after acid pickling into a nickel dissolved solution and a leaching residue.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for obtaining an acidic solution containing nickel by using a positive electrode material of a foamed nickel plate (Celmet) constituting a nickel-metal hydride battery. Background technique [0002] In recent years, environmental problems such as acid rain caused by acid gases such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere, global warming caused by carbon dioxide, and the like have attracted attention as global-scale issues. In order to reduce pollution caused by automobile exhaust, which is one of the causes, hybrid vehicles equipped with secondary batteries such as nickel-metal hydride batteries have attracted attention. [0003] This nickel-metal hydride battery has a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrode terminal, and an electrolytic solution as functional parts, and further includes an electrode substrate, a separator provided between the positive and negative elect...
