Abstract

The invention relates to a method for promoting growth of ferronickel alloy particles in the process of producing ferronickel from laterite-nickel ore, and belongs to the technical field of laterite-nickel ore resource utilization. The method comprises the following steps of: respectively drying, crushing and grinding low-grade laterite-nickel ore and an additive A until power with the granularity of -0.074 mm accounts for more than 80%, and sieving to obtain low-grade laterite-nickel ore powder and additive powder A, the additive A being blast furnace ferronickel or electric furnace ferronickel; well mixing the low-grade laterite-nickel ore powder, a reducing agent, the additive powder A and an additive B, heating to 1200-1350 DEG C at a constant speed, carrying out high-temperature reduction roasting to obtain roasted ore, naturally cooling the roasted ore, and carrying out wet grinding to obtain ore pulp, the additive B being sodium salt; and performing magnetic separation on the ore pulp to obtain magnetic separation tailings and ferronickel alloy. According to the method, ferronickel powder serving as a nucleating agent is added into the low-grade laterite-nickel ore powder and cooperates with the reducing agent and the sodium salt accelerant in the reduction roasting process to promote formation, aggregation and growth of ferronickel, the magnetic separation process is facilitated, and high-grade and high-recovery-rate ferronickel is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for promoting the growth of ferronickel alloy particles in the process of producing ferronickel from laterite nickel ore, and belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of laterite nickel ore. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore is a surface weathered crust deposit formed by weathering-leaching-deposition of nickel sulfide ore rock mass. Nickel in lateritic nickel ore mainly exists in the form of isomorphism instead of magnesium in serpentine, which is difficult to be enriched by ordinary beneficiation technology. host. The production cost of PAL wet technology is lower than that of pyrometallurgy ferronickel technology, and the energy consumption is also lower than that of pyrometallurgy process. At present, many enterprises in the west adopt PAL wet technology to process laterite nickel ore, while most of our country still use pyrometallurgy technology. Production of ferronickel. These me...
