Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nickel dissolution and recovery, in particular to a nickel bean dissolution process and a reaction device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nickel beans are a kind of metallic nickel raw material containing about 99.5% nickel. The common weight of a single nickel bean is about 70g, and it is packed in ton bags. In the existing production process, nickel beans are added to a fixed reaction device for reaction. Some companies use PPH reaction devices, while others use steel-lined brick reaction devices. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, the PPH reaction device has the disadvantages of poor strength and insufficient temperature resistance. The steel-lined brick reaction device has high strength, but the lining bricks reduce the effective volume of the reaction device, and it is difficult to repair when the lining bricks fall off, and even have to be replaced as a whole.
