The invention discloses a method for purifying
nickel protoxide from
electroplating sludge and application, and belongs to the technical field of
nickel protoxide preparation. The method comprises the following steps: mixing a
nickel-containing
electroplating sludge raw material with
ammonia water, carrying out
ammonia complexing leaching, and separating to obtain a first filtrate containing a nickel ammine complex;
sulfide is added into the first filtrate under the alkaline condition,
copper impurities are removed through
precipitation, and second filtrate is obtained; adding
sulfide into the second filtrate under an acidic condition to precipitate and remove
zinc impurities so as to obtain third filtrate; carrying out
acid treatment on the third filtrate to decompose and convert the nickel-
ammonia complex into a nickel
sulfate solution; and adding alkali into the solution to precipitate to generate nickel
hydroxide, and calcining to obtain
nickel protoxide. According to the method, high-selectivity extraction of nickel in the
electroplating sludge and efficient and deep removal of impurities such as
copper and
zinc are achieved through the ammonia leaching and specific-sequence step-by-step
vulcanization impurity removal technology, the technological process is reasonable, and the obtained
nickel protoxide is high in purity and can be directly used for preparing a high-performance soft magnetic ferrite material; the recycling and high-value utilization of the hazardous wastes are realized.
