Description

Method for preparing ferronickel concentrate by selectively reducing laterite-nickel ore
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy and material science, in particular to a method for preparing ferronickel concentrate by selectively reducing laterite-nickel ore.
Background
The pyrometallurgical process of low-grade laterite-nickel ore plays a significant role in the resource economy and the steel industry of China. From the industrial aspect, China has become the world with the largest consumption of nickel since 2005, mainly due to the increase of stainless steel production and demand in China. Because of the scarcity of waste steel resources in China, the stainless steel smelted by the electric furnace still mainly takes the crude ferronickel as a main raw material, and the direct reduction-electric furnace smelting production of the ferronickel is the only pyrometallurgical process which is mature and applied to the industrial production of the laterite-nickel ore at present. Therefore, the process for smelting ferronickel by adopting the pyrogenic process is very consistent with the current situation of the steel industry in China. Due to the vigorous demand of domestic stainless steel and the low price of imported low-grade laterite-nickel ore, the pyrometallurgical smelting of low-grade laterite-nickel ore still has great significance for resources in China and the steel industry. Therefore, the research on the beneficiation and nickel enrichment of the laterite-nickel ore after the selective reduction treatment is imperative.
Theoretically speaking, the research on the selectivity mechanism of the laterite-nickel ore mainly focuses on two aspects, namely the selective reduction of nickel oxide relative to iron oxide and the growth of nickel-iron metal particles in the reduction process. And the two aspects are bottlenecks for limiting the reduction treatment-magnetic separation process of the laterite-nickel ore. At present, people mainly control reduction process factors such as reduction temperature, time and reducing agent dosage to realize selective reduction of laterite-nickel ore, but have the problems of overhigh reduction temperature, high pulverization rate of pellets, serious ring formation, poor selective reduction effect, difficult magnetic separation caused by insufficient growth of ferronickel grains and the like.
An effective solution to the problems in the related art has not been proposed yet.
