Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering copper and nickel from nickel-iron-copper alloy waste, belonging to the technical field of resource comprehensive utilization. The method comprises the following steps: oxidation for iron removal: heating the nickel-iron-copper alloy waste to obtain molten-state nickel-iron-copper alloy waste, then adding a slag former, and spraying oxidation gas to obtain molten metal and slag; first-stage electrolytic refining to recover copper: casting the obtained molten metal into a soluble anode, and then electrolyzing by taking a soluble anode plate as an anode, a stainless steel plate as a cathode and copper sulfate as electrolyte to obtain copper on the cathode; second-stage electrolytic refining to recover nickel: heating the electrolyte after the electrolytic refining to remove iron and copper and then feeding into a nickel electrolytic tank as the electrolyte for recovering nickel, and electrolyzing by taking an insoluble titanium plate as an anode and a stainless steel plate as a cathode to obtain nickel on the cathode. According to the method provided by the invention, the three processes of alloy structure damage, anode plate casting and oxidation for iron removal are coupled together, so that the energy saving effect of the process is remarkable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering copper and nickel from nickel-iron-copper alloy waste, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of resources. Background technique [0002] China's nickel supply consists of two parts, one part is the supply of newly produced nickel concentrate, which accounts for 72.9% of the total nickel supply, and the other part comes from secondary nickel, accounting for 27.1%. With the development of economic construction and steel industry, nickel's The demand is constantly increasing. After China's nickel consumption is expected to reach 400,000 tons per year in 2010, China will become the world's largest nickel consumer. In 2010, the basic reserves of nickel metal in China were only about 2.3 million tons. From 2010 to 2013, there was no significant progress in China's nickel ore exploration. If consumption continues like this, China's nickel ore resources will gradually be exhausted in 1...
