The invention discloses a method for efficiently refining a
cobalt nickel hydroxide intermediate product, and relates to the technical field of
hydrometallurgy, the method comprises the following steps: step S1, alkaline pressurized oxidation; s2, carrying out
solid-liquid separation and washing; s3, normal-pressure acid leaching is conducted, specifically, the oxidized
cobalt nickel hydroxide intermediate product in the step S2 is subjected to normal-pressure leaching with
sulfuric acid, and finally
solid-liquid separation is conducted to obtain Ni / Co-containing leaching liquid and Mn-containing leaching residues; s4,
neutralization and
impurity removal, wherein the oxidized
cobalt nickel hydroxide intermediate product obtained in the step S2 is added into the
leachate obtained in the step S3 to serve as a neutralizer and an
oxidizing agent; and S5, SO2 is subjected to low-temperature pressurization reduction leaching. According to the method, the alkaline pressurized oxidation and normal-pressure acid leaching processes of the nickel-
cobalt hydroxide intermediate product are adopted, a series of problems of long subsequent
manganese separation process, large
wastewater discharge and the like caused by synchronous leaching of nickel, cobalt and
manganese in the leaching process of the nickel-
cobalt hydroxide intermediate product are solved, and favorable conditions are created for simplifying the refining process of the nickel-
cobalt hydroxide intermediate product and reducing the production cost.
