Description

Method for recycling valuable metals from laterite-nickel ore and regenerating acid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the cross field of metallurgy and chemical industry, and particularly relates to a method for recovering valuable metals from laterite-nickel ore and recycling acid in the process.
Background
Nickel is an important strategic reserve metal for national production and development, plays an important role in the fields of national defense, aerospace, transportation, petrochemical industry, energy sources and the like, and is also an important raw material for producing stainless steel, high-temperature alloy, high-performance special alloy, magnetic material and electromagnetic shielding material. Most of nickel ores exist in the laterite-nickel ores in the world, but the laterite-nickel ores have low grade and low smelting efficiency. Generally speaking, the pyrometallurgical process is more suitable for treating ores with higher nickel content, such as nickel sulfide ores and the like; the wet process is more suitable for treating minerals with lower nickel content, such as limonite type laterite-nickel ore and the like. With the decreasing of nickel sulfide ores and the shortage of high-grade laterite-nickel ores, limonite type laterite-nickel ores gradually enter the visual field of people, and the wet treatment process is also widely concerned and researched.
The wet treatment process mainly comprises a reduction roasting-ammonia leaching method and a pressure acid leaching method. The main advantage of the reduction roasting-ammonia leaching method is that the reagent can be used repeatedly, but the whole process has high energy consumption and high cost. The high-pressure acid leaching method is classified into a sulfuric acid pressure leaching method, a hydrochloric acid pressure leaching method, and a nitric acid pressure leaching method according to the acid used in the treatment process. The sulfuric acid high pressure leaching method is a mainstream wet process for treating the laterite-nickel ore at present, but the process has the problem of high sulfur content, so that the difficulty of comprehensively recovering valuable metals is high. The high-pressure hydrochloric acid leaching method has high requirements on equipment, is still in a laboratory exploration stage at present, and has a certain distance from the realization of industrial production. The advantage of the nitric acid pressure leaching method is that the leaching residue has low sulfur content, can be comprehensively recycled, has lower leaching temperature and lower pressure, but the popularization of the process is limited because the nitric acid is expensive. In addition, magnesium oxide is used as a precipitator in the nitric acid leaching process, so that the nickel and cobalt are seriously mixed due to the generation of aluminum hydroxide flocculent precipitates in the aluminum precipitation process, the loss amount of the nickel and cobalt respectively reaches about 5 percent, and the economic benefit is obviously reduced.
Chinese patent CN108950205B discloses a method for homogeneous precipitation and separation of iron and aluminum from a lateritic nickel ore pickle liquor, which adopts alkaline substance calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate to grind and mix with water uniformly, then adds the mixture and the pickle liquor into a stirring tank by controlling the flow rate, and then precipitates aluminum iron slag homogeneously by adjusting the pH value of the solution. Although the method can improve the filtering performance of the precipitate to a certain extent, the content of nickel-cobalt metal carried in the precipitate is about 1-2%, which causes the recovery loss of nickel-cobalt metal.
