Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, if a section of iron and aluminum removal is placed after the CCD, it is necessary to build a filter press workshop to process the iron and aluminum slag separately, which requires high investment and high operating costs in the later stage; when sodium hydroxide is used as the precipitant, on the one hand, the cost is high, and on the other hand, due to Its alkalinity is strong, and it is easy to form local over-alkali when adding materials in the actual industrial operation process, resulting in small sedimentation particle size and poor settling energy, which makes the separation speed slower in the dense separation process, and the concentration of dense underflow is lower, which is not conducive to later separation
In addition, using sodium hydroxide as a precipitant, the obtained nickel hydroxide filter cake has a high water content, which is not conducive to subsequent treatment

Abstract

METHOD OF NICKEL-COBALT HYDROXIDE HYDROMETALLURGICAL EXTRACTION FROM LATERITE-NICKEL ORE The disclosure provides a method of nickel-cobalt hydroxide hydrometallurgical extraction from a laterite-nickel ore. The method includes steps of: subjecting the laterite-nickel ore to leaching under high pressure or normal pressure, pre-neutralizing the leachate slurry, removing iron and aluminum, CCD washing, deeply removing impurity, and precipitating nickel-cobalt with lime cream, and separating the mixture of gypsum and nickel-cobalt hydroxide produced by the precipitation reaction by the solid-solid separation device to obtain the nickel-cobalt hydroxide and subjecting the gypsum containing a small amount of nickel-cobalt to returning to the leaching process to recycle nickel-cobalt.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention belongs to the field of nickel-cobalt hydrometallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for producing nickel-cobalt hydroxide by hydrometallurgy of laterite nickel ore. Background technique [0002] At present, the precipitation of nickel and cobalt in the hydrometallurgy of laterite nickel ore usually includes the following steps: first, acid leaching the laterite nickel ore; then pre-neutralization—CCD washing—one stage of iron and aluminum removal—deep impurity removal; finally, hydrogen oxidation Sodium is used as a precipitant to precipitate nickel and cobalt in the acid leaching solution to form a nickel-cobalt precipitation solution; then the nickel-cobalt precipitation solution is densely treated to obtain nickel-cobalt hydroxide precipitation (nickel hydroxide and cobalt hydroxide). [0003] However, if a section of iron and aluminum removal is placed after the CCD, it is necessary to build a filter press worksh...
