The invention discloses a method for enriching and separating
nickel,
cobalt and
scandium, and belongs to the technical field of
metal production or refining. The method comprises the following steps: adding water into
cobalt nickel hydroxide for slurrying;
sulfur dioxide and
oxygen or air are introduced into the slurrying liquid for oxidation, a catalyst is added, and ultrasonic
waves are utilized for enhanced oxidation; dilute
sulfuric acid is added into the oxidized slurrying liquid for leaching, and first leaching liquid and
manganese oxide residues are obtained through separation; carrying out
vanadium precipitation and
iron removal on the first leaching solution, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain
scandium-rich
jarosite slag and a second leaching solution; an organic
phosphoric acid extraction agent and a hydroxime extraction agent are adopted to form a synergistic extraction
system and saponified, a saponified organic phase is adopted to carry out
nickel and
cobalt dynamic extraction separation on the second
leachate, cobalt is preferentially extracted, a cobalt-loaded organic phase is obtained, and a cobalt product is obtained through separation and purification; and carrying out nickel extraction on the cobalt extraction
raffinate to obtain a nickel-loaded organic phase, and separating and purifying to obtain a nickel product. According to the method, nickel and cobalt are efficiently extracted and separated, and
scandium enrichment is achieved.
