Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure belongs to the technical field of laterite nickel ore treatment methods. Specifically, it relates to a method for producing nickel matte using laterite nickel ore. Background Art
[0002] With the gradual scarcity of sulfide nickel ore, laterite nickel ore has become an important raw material for smelting nickel products. Currently, the RKEF (Rotary Kiln + Electric Arc Furnace) process is the most widely used laterite nickel ore smelting process. However, due to the lack of high-grade laterite nickel ore, the widespread application of the process is restricted, and the development and utilization of low-cost limonitic laterite nickel ore are urgent.
[0003] Currently, the main process for producing nickel matte from laterite nickel ore is as follows: laterite nickel ore is first smelted to produce low nickel matte, and then the low nickel matte is blown to produce nickel matte. The nickel grade of nickel-iron products obtained by treating low-grade limonitic laterite nickel ore by pyrometallurgical processes is low, the benefit is low, and the efficiency is low. For example, in Patent CN110983043A, a method for preparing high-grade nickel iron from medium and low-grade laterite nickel ore, the crushed laterite nickel ore is mixed with a reducing agent to form pellets, and a self-reduced product is obtained under a protective atmosphere. The self-reduced product is selectively oxidized in a weakly oxidizing atmosphere to obtain an oxidized product. After the oxidized product is smelted and separated, the metal and gangue are separated to obtain a high-grade nickel-iron alloy. This method is for producing high-grade nickel-iron alloy products with a nickel grade of 30%.
[0004] Limonitic laterite nickel ore is a type of laterite nickel ore with high iron, low nickel, and low silicon and magnesium content. Due to the relatively low nickel grade, the economic efficiency of directly producing nickel iron and nickel matte products by pyrometallurgical processes is poor. Therefore, currently, limonitic laterite nickel ore is mainly treated by hydrometallurgical processes. However, hydrometallurgical processes produce a large amount of leaching residues that are difficult to treat. There are no examples of comprehensive recovery and utilization of leaching residues in currently operating laterite nickel ore acid leaching projects globally, and they all adopt the methods of deep-sea landfill and tailings pond storage.
[0005] In view of this, this disclosure is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for producing matte high in nickel from laterite nickel ore. Please refer to Figure 1 , and the main steps include over-reduction roasting, magnetic separation, and reduction-sulfurization roasting carried out in sequence. The laterite nickel ore is subjected to over-reduction roasting at 600°C - 850°C, the roasted product is subjected to magnetic separation to obtain nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate, and the nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate is subjected to reduction-sulfurization roasting at 1100°C - 1300°C.
[0034] It should be noted that using laterite nickel ore with high iron, low nickel, and high silicon and magnesium content (such as limonitic laterite nickel ore) as the raw material, through controlling the reduction temperature for over-reduction roasting, in this process, it is first reduced to magnetite and then to ferrous oxide. Then, taking advantage of the non-magnetic property of ferrous oxide, ferrous oxide is removed through magnetic separation to obtain nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate. Then, the nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate is subjected to reduction-sulfurization roasting and the roasting temperature is controlled to make sulfur enter the nickel-iron phase, generating a solid solution of nickel sulfide and ferrous sulfide to obtain matte high in nickel.
[0035] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , the method for producing matte high in nickel from laterite nickel ore provided by the present disclosure includes the following steps:
[0036] S1. Over-reduction roasting
[0037] After mixing the laterite nickel ore with a reducing agent, it is subjected to over-reduction roasting at 600°C - 850°C for 40 min - 120 min. At this reduction temperature, the iron oxide in the laterite nickel ore is first reduced to magnetite and then further reduced to ferrous oxide. If the reduction temperature is too high, such as exceeding 1000°C, it will be directly reduced to iron.
[0038] The so-called "over-reduction roasting" means that by controlling the reduction temperature, the iron oxide in the laterite nickel ore is first reduced to magnetite and then further reduced to ferrous oxide, and the reduction step is in two steps.
[0039] Specifically, during over-reduction roasting, the reduction temperature can be 600°C, 650°C, 700°C, 750°C, 800°C, 850°C, etc., and the time of over-reduction roasting can be 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 55 min, 60 min, etc.
[0040] The method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is suitable for treating laterite nickel ores with high iron, low nickel and low silicon contents, such as limonitic laterite nickel ores, but is not limited thereto.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the over-reduction roasting temperature is 750°C - 800°C, and the over-reduction roasting time is 40 min - 120 min. By optimizing the temperature and time of over-reduction roasting, more iron is converted into ferrous oxide and removed by magnetic separation to obtain an intermediate product with a high nickel grade.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mass ratio of laterite nickel ore to reducing agent is 1:(0.1 - 0.3). It is appropriate to control the dosage of the reducing agent within the above range to make the iron oxide convert more fully. Specifically, the mass ratio of laterite nickel ore to reducing agent can be 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, etc. The reducing agent used during over-reduction roasting can be reducing coal, but is not limited thereto.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, over-reduction roasting can be carried out in a rotary kiln, and an inert protective gas is introduced during the roasting process. The type of inert protective gas is not limited and can be nitrogen, argon, etc.
[0044] S2. Magnetic separation
[0045] The roasted product is subjected to magnetic separation to obtain nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate. Most of the iron in S1 is converted into ferrous oxide, and it can be removed by magnetic separation using its non-magnetic property.
[0046] To more fully remove ferrous oxide, the roasted product after over-reduction roasting can be first crushed and ground, and then subjected to magnetic separation to obtain nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate and magnetic separation tailings. During the magnetic separation process, the magnetic separation intensity is controlled at 1000 GS - 3000 GS to fully remove iron impurities and improve the nickel grade of the product. Specifically, the magnetic separation intensity can be 1000 GS, 1500 GS, 2000 GS, 2500 GS, 3000 GS, etc.
[0047] The methods of crushing and grinding and the particle size after grinding are not limited, as long as ferrous oxide can be removed better. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, crushing can be carried out by the methods of crushing and grinding, and the particle size after crushing and grinding is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.075 mm.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the magnetic separation tailings can be further processed to obtain products with market application value. The magnetic separation tailings can be subjected to oxidative roasting and magnetic separation to obtain magnetite and iron-bearing quartz sand, both of which are market-valued products and can be sold externally.
[0049] Furthermore, during the oxidative roasting of the magnetic separation tailings, the roasting temperature is controlled at 500°C - 800°C, and the roasting time is 30 min - 120 min. Through oxidative roasting, ferrous oxide can be oxidized to magnetite.
[0050] Furthermore, when performing magnetic separation after oxidative roasting, the magnetic separation intensity is controlled at 800 GS - 1400 GS to better separate magnetite and iron-bearing quartz sand.
[0051] S3. Reductive sulfidizing roasting
[0052] The nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate is subjected to reductive sulfidizing roasting with a reducing agent and a sulfiding agent at 1100°C - 1300°C for 20 min - 40 min to obtain crude nickel matte. The nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate is subjected to reductive sulfidizing roasting and the roasting temperature is controlled so that sulfur enters the nickel-iron phase to form a solid solution of nickel sulfide and iron sulfide, directly obtaining nickel matte. If the roasting temperature is too high or too low, the target product cannot be obtained.
[0053] Specifically, the temperature of reductive sulfidizing roasting can be 1100°C, 1150°C, 1200°C, 1250°C, 1300°C, etc., and the time of reductive sulfidization can be 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 35 min, 40 min, etc.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature of reductive sulfidizing roasting is 1200°C - 1250°C, and the time of reductive sulfidizing roasting is 35 min - 40 min. By optimizing the temperature and time of reductive sulfidization, the yield of nickel matte can be further improved.
[0055] Furthermore, during the reductive sulfidizing roasting process, the mass ratio of the nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate to the reducing agent and the sulfiding agent is controlled at 1:(0.08 - 0.10):(0.30 - 0.50). It is appropriate to control the dosage of the raw materials within the above range to further improve the product yield and avoid waste of raw materials. Specifically, the mass ratio of the nickel-bearing magnetite concentrate to the reducing agent and the sulfiding agent can be 1:0.08:0.30, 1:0.09:0.40, 1:0.10:0.50, etc.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sulfiding agent used in the process of reductive sulfiding roasting is sulfur, and the reducing agent is reducing coal, but it is not limited thereto. The reductive sulfiding roasting can be carried out in a rotary kiln, and an inert protective gas is introduced during the roasting process. The type of the inert protective gas is not limited and can be nitrogen, argon, etc.
[0057] S4. Melting and impurity removal
[0058] The crude nickel matte is subjected to melting and impurity removal to remove impurities such as silicon and aluminum introduced during the magnetic separation process. A small amount of slag produced is general solid waste and can be used as building materials.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, during the process of melting and impurity removal, the operating temperature is controlled to be 1300°C - 1500°C, and the operating time is 10 min - 30 min to fully remove impurities and improve the purity of the product. Specifically, the operating temperature can be 1300°C, 1350°C, 1400°C, 1450°C, 1500°C, etc., and the operating time can be 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, etc.
[0060] It should be added that limonitic laterite nickel ore has large reserves, wide raw materials, and is easy to mine. However, the traditional RKEF process is difficult to treat low-grade limonitic laterite nickel ore. The method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure realizes the feasibility of directly producing nickel matte from limonitic laterite nickel ore. The process is simple, without high-energy-consuming processes, and the nickel matte product is more beneficial to the subsequent hydrometallurgical leaching process. The production can be realized by using existing rotary kilns, electric furnaces, and magnetic separators. The process is easy to control and the cost is low.
[0061] The features and properties of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments.
[0062] It should be noted that the composition of the limonitic laterite nickel ore processed in the following examples and comparative examples is as follows: by mass fraction, nickel is 1.27%, iron is 48.88%, magnesium is 0.59%, and silicon is 8.23%.
