Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of hydrometallurgy, and discloses a method for separating nickel and iron from a nickel-iron alloy and application. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving the nickel-iron alloy in an acid solution, filtering, and taking filtrate to obtain an acidic nickel-iron solution; adjusting the pH value of the acidic nickel-iron solution, heating, stirring, adding iron powder, and continuously heating and stirring to obtain sponge nickel and nickel precipitation mother liquor; enabling the nickel precipitation mother liquor to be subjected to oxidation iron precipitation to obtain ferric hydroxide slag and iron precipitation mother liquor; and dissolving sponge nickel into sulfuric acid, filtering, collecting filtrate, heating, and adjusting the pH value to obtain a nickel sulfate solution; According to the method, after the nickel-iron alloy is dissolved by using the acid liquor, nickel in the solution is replaced by iron powder to obtain sponge nickel, the nickel precipitation mother liquor is oxidized to generate ferric hydroxide, the nickel content is lower than 0.4%, the iron precipitation mother liquor can be returned to a leaching section, and the sponge nickel is subjected to acid dissolution, impurity removal and evaporative crystallization to obtain a battery-grade nickel sulfate product.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrometallurgy, in particular to a method and application for separating nickel and iron from a nickel-iron alloy. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the lithium battery new energy industry, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in various electronic devices due to their advantages such as high working voltage, high energy density, small self-discharge, long life, and no memory effect. Unlike other types of chemical power systems, the positive and negative electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries are still in constant innovation and development. As far as the current market analysis is concerned, NCM / NCA (battery cathode material) ternary materials occupy more than 50% of the market share, and the demand for nickel is increasing day by day. [0003] Worldwide, nickel production capacity is gradually in short supply. The supply of nickel sulfate is obviously ins...
