Problems solved by technology

[0004] Usually the laterite nickel ore and the reducing agent undergo a reduction reaction directly, and the selective reduction effect is not obvious. Adding additives to the laterite nickel ore to modify the selective reduction is the most effective method

Embodiment 1

[0025] The low-grade laterite nickel ore (TNi: ~1.34 wt.%) was crushed to 4-6mm with a jaw crusher, and then dried in an oven at 80°C. The dried laterite nickel ore is ground with a rod mill to a fineness of -0.15mm, accounting for more than 90%, and placed in a muffle furnace for pre-roasting. Then separately add sodium thiosulfate (Na 20% by weight of laterite nickel ore) to the pre-roasted laterite nickel ore. 2 S 2 O 3 ), or potassium thiosulfate (K 2 S 2 O 3 ), or calcium thiosulfate (CaS 2 O 3 ), or barium thiosulfate (BaS 2 O 3 ) additives, add an appropriate amount of water to knead after uniform mixing, put them into an extruder and extrude to obtain columnar particles with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm and a length of 5 to 10 mm. .

Abstract

The invention provides a method of enriching nickel concentrate from low-level laterite-nickel ore, by means of great selective reduction and gas-solid reductive reaction. The method includes: mixing well the laterite-nickel ore pre-roasted and thiosulfate as additive, performing extrusion to obtain cylindrical particles, heating the cylindrical particles in a fixed bed reactor in the atmosphere of inert gas N2, introducing mixed gas containing CO reducing gas, to allow reduction roasting, subjecting ore powder, subjected to reduction roasting, to magnetic separation, and drying the ore magnetically separated, to obtain nickel concentration, with non-magnetic ore as tailings. The additive is a single compound having alkaline and sulfate radicals during the gas reduction roasting of the laterite-nickel ore and capable of generating sulfur during the heating process, the defect that adding the mixture of various additives is required is avoided, and selective reduction is strong.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of chemical mineral processing and metallurgical chemical science and technology, and particularly relates to a method for enriching nickel concentrate from low-grade laterite nickel ore by utilizing gas-solid reduction reaction. Background technique [0002] As the main nickel resource in the world, although the grade of laterite nickel ore is low, with the increasing global demand for nickel, especially the sharp decline in the reserves of nickel sulfide ore-type nickel resources, it has become the nickel resource that the global nickel industry focuses on developing. Due to the low grade of laterite nickel ore and the existence of nickel in the form of silicates, it is difficult to enrich with traditional physical beneficiation methods, so chemical methods are selected to treat laterite nickel ore to achieve nickel ore enrichment. The current chemical treatment methods include: pressurized acid impregnation method...
