Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing battery-grade cobalt sulfate and cobalt chloride by acid dissolution of cobalt beans and cobalt plates. The method comprises the following steps: taking cobalt beans or cobalt plates, adding a sulfuric acid solution into the cobalt beans or cobalt plates, and heating to quickly dissolve the cobalt beans or cobalt plates. After the cobalt solution reaches a certain concentration, opening to a purification section, adding an oxidizing agent to oxidize ferrous iron in the cobalt solution, and adding a neutralizing agent to consume hydrogen ions in the cobalt solution, so that the pH value of the cobalt solution is increased; and filtering to obtain a clean cobalt solution, and sending the clean cobalt solution to MVR evaporation to obtain battery-grade cobalt sulfide or cobalt chloride. Wherein the oxidizing agent is selected from one or more of oxygen-containing gas and peroxy-radical-containing salt; and a neutralizer is selected from one or more of ammonia-containing substances and urea. The method for preparing the battery-grade cobalt sulfate or cobalt chloride through acid dissolution of the cobalt beans and the cobalt plates is high in applicability and operability. According to the method, battery-grade cobalt sulfate or cobalt chloride can be directly obtained through a non-extraction means, the technological process is shortened, and the cost is lower.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cobalt smelting, in particular to a method for preparing battery-grade cobalt sulfate and cobalt chloride by acid-dissolving cobalt beans and cobalt plates. Background technique [0002] With the rise of lithium batteries, the use of cobalt has changed from traditionally mostly used in the manufacture of ferromagnetic materials to mainly used in the manufacture of lithium cobalt oxide, ternary and other lithium batteries. Lithium cobaltate and ternary are prepared from cobalt chloride and cobalt sulfate. my country's cobalt reserves are seriously insufficient, and cobalt basically depends on imports. Many domestic cobalt smelting enterprises, in order to solve the problem of raw material supply stability, often use a variety of cobalt-containing raw materials in combination. Among them, cobalt beans and cobalt slabs have higher purity and are more convenient to transport and store, making them good raw materials ...
