At present, the process of extracting nickel from laterite nickel ore by hydrometallurgy has become a research hotspot. In the process of extracting nickel from laterite nickel ore by hydrometallurgy, a large amount of laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag is produced.

[0003] At present, the treatment of laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag is mainly through underground pressure filtration backfill, deep sea landfill and deep sea direct discharge and the like. However, due to the high iron content in the laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag, if direct landfill or discharge treatment is performed, not only will a large amount of iron resources be wasted, but also the environment will be polluted due to the presence of other harmful elements in the laterite nickel ore metallurgical slag.

[0004] CN102146511A discloses a process for selectively recovering nickel and iron from laterite nickel ore by reduction roasting, which specifically comprises the following steps: first, a certain amount of silicate laterite nickel ore is crushed to a particle size of -10 mm, 10-20% of a reducing agent and 5-15% of a fluxing agent are added, and then the mixture is uniformly mixed, then the uniformly mixed raw material is added to a muffle furnace and roasted at a temperature of 1100-1150℃ for 40-80 minutes, after natural cooling, the material is added to a ball mill for grinding, a slurry with a mass concentration of 60% and a grinding particle size of -0.074 mm accounting for 85-95% is obtained, the slurry is placed in a magnetic field with a magnetic field intensity of 150-200kA / m for magnetic separation, and nickel and iron metals are obtained, and the recovery rate of nickel is more than 80%. However, the method provided by the present application inhibits the recovery of iron, which also causes a certain waste of resources.

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