The invention provides an
impurity removal and
recovery method of electrodeposited
nickel anolyte, which comprises the following steps: (1) mixing the electrodeposited
nickel anolyte with liquid caustic soda, carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain
nickel hydroxide and filtrate, and evaporating the filtrate to obtain
sodium sulfate; mixing the electrodeposited nickel anolyte with a nickel source to obtain a
mixed solution; (2) mixing the
mixed solution with
barium salt, and carrying out lead removal treatment; (3) adjusting the pH value of a material obtained after lead removal treatment by using nickel
hydroxide to obtain a solution to be subjected to
arsenic removal, and mixing the solution to be subjected to
arsenic removal with
polyferric sulfate for
arsenic removal treatment; and (4) a material obtained after arsenic removal treatment is mixed with an
oxidizing agent, a solution to be subjected to
iron removal is obtained,
solid-liquid separation treatment is conducted on the solution to be subjected to
iron removal, catholyte with lead, arsenic and iron removed and iron-containing
slag are obtained,
sodium sulfate is supplemented into the catholyte with lead, arsenic and iron removed, and the catholyte is reused in the nickel electrodeposition process. According to the method, lead, arsenic and iron in the electrodeposited nickel anolyte can be efficiently and rapidly removed and recycled.
