Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and in particular to a method for recycling laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag resources. Background Art

[0002] Nickel is the main material for the preparation of new energy batteries. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the demand for nickel resources is also increasing. At present, the process of hydrometallurgical extraction of nickel from laterite nickel ore has become a research hotspot. In the process of hydrometallurgical extraction of nickel from laterite nickel ore, a large amount of laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag will be produced.

[0003] At present, the treatment of laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag is mainly carried out through underground filter pressure backfilling, deep sea landfill and direct deep sea discharge. However, due to the high iron content in laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag, direct landfill or discharge treatment will not only cause a large waste of iron resources, but also cause environmental pollution due to the presence of other harmful elements in laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag.

[0004] CN102146511A discloses a process for recovering nickel and iron from laterite nickel ore by selective reduction roasting, which specifically comprises the following steps: first, crushing a certain amount of silicate laterite nickel ore to a particle size of -10mm, adding 10-20% of a reducing agent and 5-15% of a flux, and then mixing them evenly, then adding the above-mentioned evenly mixed raw materials into a muffle furnace, roasting them at a temperature of 1100-1150°C for 40-80 minutes, adding them into a ball mill for grinding after natural cooling, obtaining a slurry with a mass concentration of 60% and a grinding particle size of -0.074mm accounting for 85-95%, placing the slurry under a magnetic field strength of 150-200kA / m for magnetic separation, obtaining nickel and iron metals, and a nickel recovery rate of more than 80%. However, the method provided by the invention inhibits the recovery of iron and also causes a certain waste of resources.

[0005] CN117066519A discloses a process for recovering iron from laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgical tailings, which comprises the following steps: S10: uniformly mixing laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgical tailings with a certain proportion of reducing agent to obtain a mixed material; and drying the laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgical tailings before and / or after mixing with the reducing agent; S20: performing high-temperature reduction roasting on the mixed material to obtain reduced roasted sand; wherein the temperature of the reduction roasting is 900-1200°C, and the time of the reduction roasting is 0.5-5 hours; S30: crushing and grinding the reduced roasted sand; S40: performing magnetic separation on the ground reduced roasted sand to obtain reduced iron powder.

The results are shown in Table 2.

[0156] Table 2

[0157] Yield (%) purity(%) Example 1 63.44 67.37 Example 2 64.86 64.97 Example 3 63.23 67.01 Example 4 62.21 64.05 Example 5 61.84 63.87 Example 6 62.52 63.38 Example 7 62.06 63.23 Example 8 61.51 62.84 Example 9 62.93 61.57 Example 10 62.25 62.83 Embodiment 11 70.72 60.22 Example 12 63.27 64.60 Example 13 60.54 62.96 Embodiment 14 73.98 60.06 Comparative Example 1 68.50 60.13 Comparative Example 2 66.71 61.72 Comparative Example 3 68.32 60.96 Comparative Example 4 67.84 60.73

[0158] From the data in Table 2, it can be seen that the purity of the iron concentrate products obtained in Examples 4 and 5 is slightly reduced compared with Examples 1-3, indicating that each parameter is within the preferred range, which is conducive to obtaining an iron concentrate with higher purity; from the comparison of Examples 6-9 with Example 1, it can be seen that the temperature and rotation speed of the alkali leaching treatment and the acid leaching treatment need to be controlled within a reasonable range. Exceeding the limited range will reduce the purity or yield of the iron concentrate product; from the comparison of Example 10 with Example 1, it can be seen that the biomass is not ground and screened after activation treatment, and the particle size of the biomass reducing agent is too large, which reduces the activity of the biomass reducing agent, thereby reducing the yield of the iron concentrate product; from the comparison of Examples 11 and 12 with Example 1, it can be seen that the amount of the biomass reducing agent is too low, the purity of the iron concentrate product is significantly reduced, and the amount is too high, The cost of raw materials will increase, and the purity and yield of the iron concentrate product will no longer increase significantly; from the comparison of Examples 13 and 14 with Example 1, it can be seen that the magnetic separation intensity is too high, the purity of the iron concentrate product is significantly reduced, and the magnetic separation intensity is too low, The yield of the iron concentrate product is significantly reduced.

[0159] By comparing Comparative Examples 1-4 with Example 1, it can be seen that when the laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag is not subjected to alkali leaching and acid leaching, or is first subjected to acid leaching and then to alkali leaching, or is subjected to a single acid leaching or alkali leaching treatment, the purity of the iron ore concentrate product is significantly reduced.

[0160] In summary, the method for recycling and utilizing laterite-nickel ore metallurgical slag resources provided by the present invention can remove impurities in the laterite-nickel ore metallurgical slag after alkali leaching and acid leaching are performed on the laterite-nickel ore metallurgical slag in sequence, and further obtain a biomass reducing agent with enhanced reducibility after carbonizing and activating the biomass, which is beneficial to further improve the iron recovery effect, and the cost of the biomass reducing agent is low, and the utilization rate of the biomass is improved at the same time; after continuing to mix the biomass reducing agent with the acid leaching slag in a specific ratio, the biomass reducing agent is reduced and roasted under an additive and a specific atmosphere, and then magnetic separation is performed to obtain an iron concentrate with high purity and yield; in addition, the whole method has the advantages of short process, low cost, good recovery effect, etc., and can also simultaneously recover by-product sodium sulfate products and calcium chloride products, which greatly improves the resource utilization rate of the laterite-nickel ore metallurgical slag, solves the environmental problems caused by long-term storage and landfill of the laterite-nickel ore metallurgical slag, and is beneficial to large-scale promotion and application.
