Problems solved by technology

Although this patent reduces acid consumption, it still needs to pass oxygen under high temperature and high pressure, which requires high equipment, and cannot efficiently treat limonite-type lateritic nickel ore, resulting in a large amount of waste residue
[0008] To sum up, it can be seen that the improvement of lateritic nickel ore refining process in the above-mentioned prior art still has disadvantages such as high production cost, harsh process conditions, and low metal recovery rate, and almost only considers the nickel and cobalt in limonite-type lateritic nickel ore. recovery and utilization, ignoring valuable metal elements such as iron, scandium and aluminum in recovered minerals

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for efficiently recovering iron, scandium and aluminum from limonite type lateritic nickel ores. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out crushing or fine grinding on the limonite type laterite nickel ores to obtain ore powder; carrying out selective leaching on the ore powder through nitric acid to obtain sulfur-free iron ore concentrates, of which the iron content exceeds 60%; carrying out controllable sedimentation or separation on a leach solution by adding magnesium oxide, calcium oxide or calcium carbonate, so that an aluminum-scandium mixture is obtained; after baking dehydration of the aluminum and scandium mixture, adding an approximate amount of cryolite and carrying out molten salt electrolysis to directly prepare aluminum-scandiumalloy; and neutralizing a solution obtained through the controllable sedimentation or separation to prepare nickel and cobalt hydroxides, or carrying out extraction-electrodeposition on the solution to prepare nickel and cobalt products. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that under mild conditions without external pressurization, both selective nickel and cobalt leaching andefficient iron, scandium and aluminum recovery and utilization can be achieved, both the nickel and cobalt leaching rates can reach above 90%, the iron and scandium recovery rates can reach above 95%,and the aluminum recovery rate can reach 65%, so that iron, scandium, aluminum, nickel and cobalt in the limonite type lateritic nickel ores can be efficiently recovered and utilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of complex polymetallic resources, in particular to a method for efficiently recovering iron, scandium and aluminum from limonite-type lateritic nickel ore. Background technique [0002] Nickel ore resources are mainly divided into oxide ore and sulfide ore. Current statistics show that the former accounts for more than 70%, but only produces about 50% of nickel. With the increasing demand for nickel and cobalt in the market and the depletion of nickel sulfide ore resources, the laterite nickel ore with abundant reserves has attracted people's attention. How to efficiently and economically selectively extract nickel and cobalt from laterite nickel ore has become the key question. The wet process for extracting laterite nickel ore is mainly atmospheric acid leaching process and pressurized acid leaching process, and the pyrometallurgy process is mainly RKEF method. These process...
