CN 105755283 A discloses a method for selectively leaching valuable metals in laterite nickel ore with chloride salts. After the ore sample is crushed and ground, it is directly leached with hydrochloric acid chloride salt solution, and at the same time, oxidizing gas is introduced from the bottom to strengthen the valuable metals. leaching and inhibiting the leaching of impurity metals, but the valuable metals leached by this method are difficult to separate, the leaching rate of iron is too low, and there are many operation steps and high cost
CN 104263909A discloses a process for recovering nickel-cobalt iron from nickel oxide ore by roasting and water leaching. The process includes: crushing and ball-milling raw nickel oxide ore and coke powder, adding a chlorinating agent to mix and roast, and adding the roasted product to the medium after leaching. Blending agent to obtain a mixture of nickel-cobalt-iron compounds, the metal elements extracted by this method are difficult to separate, and it is difficult to remove impurities, and it is impossible to obtain a high-purity single compound

Abstract

The invention provides a method of extracting nickel from nickel ores. The method comprises the following steps of mechanically activating a nickel ore raw material and an additive which are mixed andthen carrying out thermal treatment; leaching an obtained product with a leaching agent, and carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a nickel-enriched solution and solid slag; and preparing anickel salt from the nickel-enriched solution and preparing corresponding salts from the solid slag. By adopting the method of thermal treatment after mechanical activation, short range efficient selective extraction and separation of valuable metal elements in the nickel ore raw material is achieved, the extraction rate of nickel reaches over 92% and the extraction rate of other valuable metals reaches about 90%. The problems that a leaching solution in a conventional wet process treatment method is high in impurity ion content and the impurity removal mode is difficult and complex are solved. The method is short in flow, does not introduce other impurity ions, is high in product purity, further can avoid secondary pollution and waste liquor treatment, saves the recovery cost and is easyto achieve industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ore resource extraction, and relates to a method for extracting nickel element from nickel ore. Background technique [0002] Nickel is an important strategic metal element, which can be widely used in industries such as stainless steel, superalloy, electroplating and chemical industry. Nickel ore resources in nature are mainly divided into nickel sulfide ore and laterite nickel ore. Among them, nickel sulfide ore accounts for about 40%, and the rest is laterite nickel ore. However, due to the limitation of laterite nickel ore dressing and smelting technology, the current nickel in the nickel industry is The main source is nickel sulfide ore. Therefore, the treatment process of nickel sulfide ore still needs to be continuously improved to meet the needs of various industries for nickel. [0003] At present, the treatment process of nickel sulfide ore can be generally divided into pyrolysis and wet treatm...
