Abstract

The present invention provides a process for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration which can increase direct recovery rate of cobalt by industrially advantageously removing manganese from a cobalt solution containing manganese as an impurity by the oxidative neutralization process.
The process containing 2 stages for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, the first stage being for oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution controlled at an oxidation-reduction potential of 900mV or more (based on an Ag/AgCl electrode) and pH of 3 or less to remove most of the manganese in the form of oxide precipitate having a Co/Mn ratio of 0.3 to 1.0 by weight, and the second stage being for the continued oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution produced in the first stage to remove a small quantity of the residual manganese in the form of oxide precipitate and thereby to produce the high-purity cobalt solution containing manganese at 0.05g/L or less, while keeping the same oxidation-reduction potential and pH conditions for the cobalt solution.

Claims (7)

1. A process for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, comprising 2 stages for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration by incorporating an oxidant and neutralizer in a cobalt solution containing manganese as an impurity, the first stage being for oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution controlled at an oxidation-reduction potential of 900mV or more (based on an Ag/AgCl electrode) and pH of 3 or less to remove most of the manganese in the form of oxide precipitate having a Co/Mn ratio of 0.3 to 1.0 by weight, and the second stage being for the continued oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution produced in the first stage to remove a small quantity of the residual manganese in the form of oxide precipitate and thereby to produce the high-purity cobalt solution containing manganese at 0.05g/L or less, while keeping the same oxidation-reduction potential and pH conditions for the cobalt solution.
2. A process for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, comprising 3 stages for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration by incorporating an oxidant and neutralizer in a cobalt solution containing manganese as an impurity, the first stage being for oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution controlled at an oxidation-reduction potential of 900mV or more (based on an Ag/AgCl electrode) and pH of 3 or less to remove most of the manganese in the form of oxide precipitate having a Co/Mn ratio of 0.3 to 1.0 by weight, the second stage being for the continued oxidative neutralization of the cobalt solution produced in the first stage to remove a small quantity of the residual manganese in the form of oxide precipitate and thereby to produce the high-purity cobalt solution containing manganese at 0.05g/L or less, while keeping the same oxidation-reduction potential and pH conditions for the cobalt solution, and the third stage being for dissolution of the precipitate containing the separated manganese oxide and cobalt hydroxide in a mineral acid to keep the solution at a pH of 0.05 to 2.0, and also for recycling the resulting slurry back to the first stage.
3. The process according to Claim 1 or 2 for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, wherein said cobalt solution is oxidized/neutralized while being controlled at an oxidation-reduction potential of 950 to 1050mV (based on an Ag/AgCl electrode) and pH of 2.4 to 2.8.
4. The process according to Claim 1 or 2 for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, wherein said cobalt solution containing manganese as an impurity is a cobalt chloride solution.
5. The process according to Claim 1 or 2 for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, wherein said oxidant is at least one type selected from the group consisting of chlorine, hypochlorous acid and ozone.
6. The process according to Claim 1 or 2 for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, wherein said neutralizer is at least one type selected from the group consisting of hydroxide and carbonate of an alkali and alkali-earth metal, and cobalt carbonate.
7. The process according to Claim 2 for producing a cobalt solution of low manganese concentration, wherein said the solution is controlled at a pH of 0.1 to 1.5 in said third stage.
