Last separating calcium sulphate and nickel hydroxide.
As mentioned above, single nickel salt in the nickel sulfate solution and calcium hydroxide reaction generate calcium sulfate precipitation and nickel hydroxide precipitate.Yet the particle of calcium sulfate precipitation and nickel hydroxide precipitate is all very little, and the granularity difference is smaller, and more specifically, calcium sulfate precipitation is a crystalline form, and nickel hydroxide is a gel, and nickel hydroxide is coated on the calcium sulfate, so the two is difficult to separate.In addition, when single nickel salt and calcium hydroxide reacted, the formation of nickel hydroxide precipitate had limited the further increase of calcium sulfate granularity, thereby has further increased separating difficulty.
According to embodiments of the invention, in the reaction system that single nickel salt and calcium hydroxide react, contain calcium sulfate as crystal seed, therefore, when single nickel salt and calcium hydroxide react, formed calcium sulfate precipitation can be formed on the crystal seed, thereby the granularity of calcium sulfate precipitation can further increase, and promptly forms the calcium sulfate precipitation of volume particle size, is convenient to separating between follow-up calcium sulfate and the nickel hydroxide precipitate thus.
The source of the employed in the present invention calcium sulfate as crystal seed is not restricted, both can be the ready-made calcium sulfate of buying from the market, also can be the calcium sulfate that obtains by independent chemical reaction, the product calcium sulfate that also can be in this technology to be generated.
In addition, in actually operating, at first nickel sulfate solution is joined calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide and mixing as the calcium sulfate of crystal seed, then nickel sulfate solution is added and for example splash in the described mixture, can further improve the granularity of the calcium sulfate precipitation of the efficient of reaction and generation like this.
With reference to figure 2, in one embodiment of the invention, as the calcium sulfate of crystal seed be to use calcium sulfate precipitation that alkali-metal vitriol and calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide reaction generated, to separate the back resulting.The contriver finds that the calcium sulfate that uses this method to obtain can obviously increase the granularity of the calcium sulfate precipitation of generation as crystal seed.In addition, in a further embodiment, the alkali-metal vitriol of use is sodium sulfate, because the cost of sodium sulfate is low, the sodium hydroxide that generates is solvable and can reuse, and therefore when can being convenient to separation of hydrogen sodium oxide and calcium sulfate, has also reduced cost.
With reference to figure 4, in one embodiment of the invention, as the calcium sulfate of crystal seed is to obtain calcium sulfate with nickel hydroxide, separating calcium sulphate and nickel hydroxide, then the calcium sulfate after separating is carried out obtaining after the classification washing by nickel sulfate solution and calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide reaction, do not need extra independent preparation calcium sulfate crystal seed like this and saved alkali-metal vitriol, therefore further saved to produce and produced this.For example, can in the part of sulfuric acid nickel solution, add a certain amount of calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide earlier, obtain calcium sulfate and nickel hydroxide precipitate, from this reaction system, isolate calcium sulfate and nickel hydroxide then, the calcium sulfate precipitation that obtains is washed the calcium sulfate that obtains as crystal seed.
In addition, as mentioned above, at the beginning of technological process, also can be earlier in nickel sulfate solution, add the calcium sulfate buied from market as crystal seed, then by reaction, separate the calcium sulfate that obtains and just can be used as after the crystal seed of use.
In an embodiment of the present invention, calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide are mixed with calcium sulfate as crystal seed, both can use calcium oxide (unslaked lime), also can use calcium hydroxide (white lime), also can use the mixture of the two.Concrete, can water assimilation of quicklime using (CaO), thus obtaining milk of lime, principal reaction is CaO+H
2O=Ca (OH)
2More specifically, unslaked lime adds less water to be made its heating, aquation, is paste, and after thermopositive reaction finished substantially, thin up was sized mixing, and can prolong digestion time under the situation of time permission.When using commercial lime, except that prolonging digestion time, also need to sieve, to remove unreacted residue.It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide are mixed with calcium sulfate as crystal seed, both milk of lime can have been joined in the calcium sulfate nickel sulfate solution as crystal seed, also the calcium sulfate nickel sulfate solution as crystal seed can have been joined in the milk of lime.In one embodiment of the invention, be that milk of lime is joined in the calcium sulfate nickel sulfate solution as crystal seed, the contriver finds to adopt this method can improve efficient at follow-up single nickel salt and calcium hydroxide reaction, further facilitates later separation nickel hydroxide and calcium sulfate.
Milk of lime is mixed with nickel sulfate solution, and stir, thereby single nickel salt and milk of lime react, and have generated throw out calcium sulfate and nickel hydroxide, principal reaction is NiSO
4+ Ca (OH)
2=Ni (OH)
2↓+CaSO
4↓.
Calcium sulfate can be with CaSO
4XH
2The crystallized form of O (x is about 2/3) is precipitated out, because the granularity of the size ratio nickel hydroxide of calcium sulfate wants big, and owing to added the calcium sulfate crystal seed, compares with not adding crystal seed, the granulometric facies of calcium sulfate can further increase for the granularity of nickel hydroxide.Therefore can easily calcium sulfate be separated with nickel hydroxide according to two kinds of sedimentary granular size differences.
In addition, in one embodiment of the invention, in order to obtain the higher nickel hydroxide of purity, and prolonged preservation, isolated nickel hydroxide is washed and/or dry.Washings can adopt deionized water, can prevent that like this nickel hydroxide suspension from flocculating.Through after static, the sedimentation, remove the supernatant liquor of cumulative volume about 50% at nickel hydroxide slurries that separation is obtained, promptly can obtain denseer hydroxide slurry material, this slurry is through filtering, and can obtain nickeliferously more than 42%, and calcic is lower than 0.5% product.
With reference to figure 5, in one embodiment of the invention, separate the nickel hydroxide that obtains and to be used to prepare the nickel goods.
With reference to figure 4, in one embodiment of the invention, as previously mentioned, the calcium sulfate that separation is obtained can be used as crystal seed and turns back in the reaction system after removing the impurity (as nickel hydroxide) on surface through washing.In addition, resulting calcium sulfate can also be used to prepare sulfuric acid and cement.
The source of nickel sulfate solution is not subjected to any restriction in the present invention, as long as contain single nickel salt in its solution.With reference to figure 3, in one embodiment of the invention, nickel sulfate solution is to contain the leach liquor of nickel ore concentrate or the leaching of nickel-containing material sulfuric acid through the solution after purifying.Using at present sulfuric acid that ore is carried out that acidleach goes out is that development is very fast at present, uses very wide wet process smelting technique, and still the sulfate waste liquid that is produced also becomes the factor that environment is made a very bad impression.Traditionally, the solution that contains single nickel salt not only is untreated as waste liquid, and nickel wherein abandons as waste liquid.Consider that mining industry can produce the waste liquid of several tons even tens of tons every day, therefore use treatment process of the present invention can obtain extraordinary economic benefit, greatly reduce production cost.
In the further embodiment of the present invention, nickel sulfate solution is to contain nickel ore concentrate or the nickel-containing material sulphuric leachate solution through obtaining after purifying, and promptly reclaims other compositions in (removals) leach liquor earlier, reclaims the interior nickel that exists with the single nickel salt form of waste liquid again.For example, " purification " can be at least a metal of removing in the sulphuric leachate, for example iron, copper, cobalt and chromium, but the present invention is not limited to remove mentioned component.Because the purification in the sulfuric acid leaching process is known for those of ordinary skill in the art, gives unnecessary details no longer in detail here.
