Problems solved by technology

This process is widely used, but the problem is that calcium oxide neutralizes and removes iron and aluminum, and a large amount of iron and aluminum slag is obtained. The nickel content is 6-12%, which cannot be recovered, resulting in a large amount of nickel loss. The nickel loss rate is about 1.5%.
The existing problems in the removal of calcium and magnesium by extraction are: using P204 to extract and remove calcium, a large amount of calcium sulfate crystals block the extraction tank and pipeline, and the calcium sulf

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing battery-grade nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate from mixed nickel cobalt hydroxide, and belongs to the technical field of nickel cobalt hydrometallurgy.The method comprises the following steps that the mixed nickel cobalt hydroxide is leached by using sulfuric acid, iron and aluminum in the solution are removed by using a nickel/cobalt/manganese-based neutralizer, liquid-solid separation is carried out to obtain iron-removed slag, nickel and cobalt are recycled through acid dissolution, a precipitator (one or more of nickel fluoride, and cobalt fluoride and manganese fluoride) is added into iron-removed liquid to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the system. Impurities such as Mn, Cu and Zn are removed from the calcium and magnesium removed liquid by using a saponified P204 extractant, nickel and cobalt are separated from the P204 raffinate by using a saponified P507 extractant to obtain battery-grade nickel sulfate and a cobalt sulfate solution, and evaporative crystallization is carried out to obtain a product. According to the method, the use amount of calcium oxide is greatly reduced, the amount of calcium ions introduced intothe system and the corresponding nickel-cobalt loss are greatly reduced, the influence of calcium sulfate crystallization on extraction is avoided, the P507 extraction operation amount is reduced, andthe purification cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nickel-cobalt hydrometallurgy, and relates to a method for preparing battery-grade nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate from mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide. Background technique [0002] With the depletion of nickel sulphide ore and the increasing demand for nickel, the extraction of nickel and cobalt from the abundant laterite nickel ore has been attracting more and more attention. At present, the full wet treatment process of laterite nickel ore is mainly high pressure acid leaching. For the convenience of transportation and cost saving, laterite nickel ore is often processed into mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide (MHP) intermediate product, which is obtained through high-pressure acid leaching-impurity removal-neutralization and precipitation. Mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide is the production of battery grade It is an important raw material for the production of nickel sulfate, battery grade cobalt sulfate and ...
