The invention discloses a method for gathering
nickel and iron from
laterite-
nickel ores. The method for gathering
nickel and iron from
laterite-nickel ores is characterized by comprising the following steps of 1,
drying laterite-nickel ores, crushing the dried laterite-nickel ores into laterite-nickel ore
powder having particle sizes of 2 to 10 millimeters, and crushing
coal into
coal powder having particle sizes of 2 to 10 millimeters, 2, uniformly mixing the laterite-nickel ore
powder and the
coal powder according to a weight part ratio of (5 to 50): 100, 3, putting the mixture into a reduction
heating furnace, heating to a temperature of 1050 to 1400 DEG C, keeping for 30 to 90 minutes, and cooling, 4,
grinding when the mixture is cooled to normal temperature, wherein grinded products have particle sizes less than 0.1 millimeters, 5, carrying out
magnetic separation, removing
tailings obtained by the
magnetic separation, feeding back middlings obtained by the
magnetic separation for re-reduction, controlling a grade of nickel in concentrates obtained by the magnetic separation in a range of 4 to 8% so that
recovery rates of nickel and
cobalt are greater than 90%, and feeding the concentrates as raw materials into an electric furnace nickel
smelting system or carrying out wet leaching of the concentrates, and 6, carrying out comprehensive
recovery of nickel and
cobalt. The method for gathering nickel and iron from laterite-nickel ores can realize a laterite-nickel ore
enrichment ratio of 4 to 8% in a non-bonded
raw material state, remove a part of
tailings, and improve a
recovery rate through feeding back of middlings obtained by magnetic separation.
