Method for extracting and separating nickel and sodium in nickel sulfate solution
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and relates to a method for extracting and separating nickel and sodium from a nickel sulfate solution, in particular to a method for extracting and separating nickel and sodium from a nickel sulfate solution with nickel content of 30-60 g/L and sodium content of 3-7 g/L after the steps of dissolving, chemically removing impurities, extracting and removing impurities and the like are carried out on crude nickel sulfate.
Background
Nickel sulfate is an important chemical product, and is mainly applied to the industrial fields of electroplating, batteries, chemical engineering, light industry, ceramics and the like. Driven by the driving action of the new energy automobile industry and related policies, the battery material industry develops rapidly, and the market demand for nickel sulfate is tightened for a long time.
The crude nickel sulfate mainly contains impurities such As Fe, As, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu and the like, and can meet the requirements of the battery material industry only by removing the impurities. The impurity removing method of the crude nickel sulfate mainly comprises a chemical impurity removing method, an extraction method and a combination method of chemical impurity removing and extraction. When Fe and As are oxidized and precipitated and Ca and Mg are fluoridized and precipitated by a chemical impurity removal method, sodium hydroxide is adopted to adjust the pH value, a large amount of sodium ions are introduced, and the sodium content of the product is too high. The key of the nickel and other impurity ions separation by the extraction method is to control the pH value of the equilibrium water phase, and when acidic extracting agents such as P204, P507 and the like are adopted, saponification treatment is generally carried out before extraction, and a large amount of sodium ions are introduced.
At present, the separation of nickel and sodium in nickel sulfate solution is generally carried out by a precipitation-redissolution method and an extraction method. Application No. 201711402476.8 a method for comprehensively recovering valuable elements from crude nickel sulfate by precipitation-redissolution method, which realizes effective separation of nickel and sodium, i.e. using sodium carbonate to precipitate nickel ions, converting nickel into nickel carbonate precipitate, then using sulfuric acid to dissolve nickel carbonate, and converting nickel back into nickel sulfate.
At present, the nickel is extracted completely by adopting an acidic extractant, and the dilute sulfuric acid solution is used for washing sodium to realize the effective separation of the nickel and the sodium, and the principle is to utilize H+By substitution of Na in the organic phase+However, in actual production, H+In substitution for Na+While replacing part of Ni2+The nickel content in the washing liquid is high, the loss of nickel metal is large, and the method does not play a role in enriching nickel during extraction, and is increased inevitablyThe cost of continuing the nickel sulfate crystallization process. The application number 201210120102.8A method for refining nickel sulfate, which comprises washing organic phase loaded with nickel and sodium with pure nickel sulfate solution, wherein the concentration of nickel sulfate is better enriched from 52.08g/L Ni in raw material to 98.63g/L Ni in pure nickel sulfate solution, but in the process of sodium washing, the number of washing stages is small, the sodium content in refined nickel sulfate product is not up to standard, the number of washing stages is large, and Ni in pure nickel sulfate solution is in pure nickel sulfate solution2+The smaller the proportion of the organic phase entering, the higher the nickel content in the raffinate, and the greater the nickel loss, according to the parameters of nickel extraction and sodium washing in example 2 of the patent, because some parameters in the examples are not interchanged, 6400mL of raffinate with 8.73g/L nickel content is newly generated by processing 2000mL of nickel sulfate solution with 52.08g/L nickel content, which is directly discharged in the form of sodium sulfate solution, the nickel loss is at least 20% or more, and the actual nickel loss may be greater, therefore, the raffinate in the actual production must be returned to the nickel extraction system for purification treatment to reduce the loss of nickel metal, which inevitably increases the cost by 25% or more.
