Problems solved by technology

The present invention has found that the laterite nickel ore also contains a small amount of scandium element, but the content is less, it is not easy to extract, and the recovery rate is low
The content of iron, aluminum, manganese, magnesium, calcium and other impurities in laterite nickel ore is high, which is much higher than that of scandium, which easily interferes with the extraction of scandium
Existing technologies for extracting scandium have the problems of long process, complicated operation, low output, high consumption of raw and auxiliary materials, and high cost in the production process, and are not suitable for extracting scandium from laterite nickel ore.

[0047] The above-mentioned laterite nickel ore is leached with sulfuric acid in an autoclave at a temperature of 255 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 5 MPa. Most of the valuable metals scandium (0.0117g / L), nickel (3.85g / L), and cobalt (0.32g / L) enter the h...

Embodiment 2

[0056] See Table 2 for the element content in a nickel hydroxide cobalt precipitate. Take the above-mentioned scandium hydroxide nickel cobalt precipitate, according to the solid-liquid ratio S:L=1:5, add 20% (mass percentage) sulfuric acid solution, stir and react for leaching, filter, and collect the filtrate. The filtrate mainly contains Ni, Co, Mn, Sc, Fe, Al, Ca.

[0057] Take the above-mentioned scandium hydroxide nickel cobalt sulfuric acid leaching solution, adjust the pH value to 0.5, according to the water phase: organic phase = 5:1, add the kerosene solution containing 10% N235 + 5% N503 to carry out the extraction reaction. The extraction percentage of Sc was 99.8%, and the extraction rates of Ni, Co, Fe, and Al were 0.1%, 0.2%, 1.0% and 0.2%, respectively. The extraction rate of impurities is low and separated from scandium. The loaded organic phase is washed with 5% sulfuric acid solution for 4 stages according to the water phase: organic phase = 2:1, and a sma...

Embodiment 3

[0061] The element content in the sulfuric acid leaching solution of a laterite nickel ore is shown in Table 1. The pH is adjusted to 3.8 with lye, so that the iron and aluminum in the leaching solution form iron and aluminum slag, and the scandium and iron and aluminum impurities are separated. Further, the pH is adjusted to 8.0 with lye, and the nickel-cobalt is precipitated to obtain the nickel-cobalt hydroxide precipitate. Scandium was enriched with the precipitation of nickel and cobalt hydroxide, with a content of 0.139%. The element content is shown in Table 3.

Abstract

The invention provides a treatment method for scandium-containing cobalt nickel hydroxide. The method includes the steps: carrying out leaching treatment of a cobalt nickel hydroxide precipitation by utilizing sulfuric acid, so as to obtain a nickel cobalt leaching solution; carrying out scandium extraction treatment of the nickel cobalt leaching solution by utilizing an organic extractant, so as to obtain a nickel-cobalt-containing solution and a scandium-containing organic phase; recycling nickel cobalt from the nickel-cobalt-containing solution; and recycling scandium from the scandium-containing organic phase. With the utilization of the method, scandium can be effectively extracted from the scandium-containing cobalt nickel hydroxide precipitation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metallurgy. In particular, the present invention relates to a process for treating scandium-containing nickel-cobalt hydroxide. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore contains a large amount of nickel and cobalt metal elements. Due to the low grade of nickel and cobalt in domestic laterite nickel ore, the raw materials of laterite nickel ore used to produce nickel and cobalt in my country are mainly imported from abroad, and the raw material cost is relatively high. In the past, the domestic treatment of laterite nickel ore was limited to the extraction of nickel and cobalt, ignoring the small amount of other valuable metal elements contained in laterite nickel ore. The present invention finds that the laterite nickel ore also contains a small amount of scandium element, but the content is small, it is difficult to extract, and the recovery rate is low. The content of iron, aluminum, manganese, magnesi...
