Abstract

The invention discloses a method for the normal-pressure phosphoric-acid leaching of nickel-cobalt and the synchronous preparation of iron phosphate. The method comprises the following steps: subjecting laterite nickel ore to normal-pressure acid leading treatment, and then carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a leaching residue of iron phosphate and a leaching solution of enriched nickel-cobalt, wherein in the leaching process, phosphoric acid with a concentration of 1-3 mol / L is adopted; the adding amount of phosphoric acid is 1-3 times as much as the theoretical molar mass of metal elements in the leached transformed laterite nickel ore; and the laterite nickel ore is subjected to transformation at 300-400 DEG in advance before the acid leading treatment. The method is particularly suitable for the treatment of low-grade limonite-type laterite nickel ore; the nickel-cobalt recovery rate is high; the nickel-iron separation effect is good; and the leaching residue of iron phosphate is not only applicable to the preparation of iron phosphate lithium batteries but also utilized as a raw material for the manufacturing of catalysts and ceramics.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for leaching nickel and cobalt from laterite nickel ore with atmospheric pressure phosphoric acid and co-producing iron phosphate. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore is the main source of nickel production at present. Limonite-type laterite nickel ore has low nickel grade (about 1%), high iron content (generally greater than 40%), and relatively low magnesium content (about 5%). Wet leaching is mainly used to extract valuable elements such as nickel and cobalt. Compared with pyrometallurgy, the wet leaching process has low energy consumption, simple process, low investment cost, and has obvious advantages such as recovery of cobalt in laterite nickel ore. [0003] The acid leaching process in laterite nickel ore mainly includes high pressure acid leaching and atmospheric pressure acid leaching. High-pressure acid l...
