Description

Method for recovering cobalt or nickel intermediate product
Technical Field

Background
At present, the leaching process of the cobalt (nickel) intermediate product in industry mainly adopts sodium thiosulfate, sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfite; ferrous sulfate; sulfur dioxide. Sodium thiosulfate, sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfite are used as reducing agents. The disadvantages are that the harmful gas of sulfur dioxide is generated in the reaction process, the requirements on production equipment and production environment are higher, and sodium ions are introduced. In the oxidation stage of ferrous iron, sodium chlorate is mainly used for oxidizing ferrous ions in industry, sodium carbonate is added for controlling the pH value, and the iron in the solution is removed by the jarosite method to generate a large amount of iron slag. The disadvantages are that: in the iron removal process, because ferrous ions are not easy to precipitate, the ferrous ions are required to be oxidized into the ferric ions and then the pH value is required to be adjusted to precipitate the ferric ions, the common use of sodium chlorate to oxidize the ferrous ions at present has the characteristics of high efficiency and high speed, but chloride ions are introduced from the characteristics, so that the prepared cobalt sulfate product contains a large amount of chloride ions.
Meanwhile, the introduction of chloride ions can greatly accelerate the corrosion of equipment, and especially for extraction equipment and MVR evaporators, the chloride ions with high concentration can be resistant to the corrosion by using expensive titanium alloy materials to a certain extent. The iron in the solution is usually removed by a jarosite method, and the waste residue generated by the iron removal method is jarosite residue. Because of the lack of a reasonable treatment method, a large amount of jarosite slag is accumulated near a factory, which not only occupies the land, but also causes harm to the environment.
In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for preparing cobalt sulfate/nickel from cobalt hydroxide/nickel with simple process, low cost and high efficiency.
The flow diagram of the method for recovering the cobalt intermediate product of the embodiment of the invention is shown in figure 1 by taking the cobalt hydroxide intermediate product as a material. The recovery process is as follows:
(1) adding water into the cobalt hydroxide intermediate product for size mixing, then adding concentrated sulfuric acid for acid dissolution to obtain a leaching solution, and filtering the leaching solution to obtain a first filtrate and a first filter residue.
In the step (1), water is added into the cobalt hydroxide intermediate product for mixing pulp, and then concentrated sulfuric acid is added for acid dissolution, without using sodium thiosulfate, sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfite as reducing agents. The reducing agent is used for generating harmful gas of sulfur dioxide in the reaction process, so that the requirements on production equipment and production environment are high, and sodium ions are introduced. The acid leaching process of the invention overcomes the above process and reduces the use of harmful gases and auxiliary materials.
(2) And (2) performing high-acid reduction on the first filter residue in the step (1), returning the initial material for recycling, removing ferrous ions in the first filter solution in an oxygen pressure iron removal mode, and performing solid-liquid separation again to obtain a second filter residue and a second filter solution.
In the step (2), because the second filtrate contains cobalt and iron with higher contents, cheap oxygen is used as an oxidant in a high-pressure kettle, the utilization rate of the oxygen is high under the condition, meanwhile, no oxidant is added in the iron removal process, a cobalt solution with higher acid content can be obtained, and the cobalt solution can be used as a high-pressure leaching agent or can be comprehensively utilized with other cobalt raw materials to consume other acids, so that the high-efficiency and effective utilization is achieved.
(3) And (3) calcining the second filter residue in the step (2) to be used as an iron-making raw material again, extracting the second filtrate by P204 and P507, and crystallizing and drying MVR evaporation-OSLO to obtain a cobalt sulfate or nickel sulfate product.

preferably, the obtained first filter residue is leached for 2-4h by using 1.5-3mol/L sulfuric acid solution at the temperature of 60-95 ℃.
Adding concentrated sulfuric acid when the intermediate product of cobalt or nickel is leached, controlling the end point pH to be 3-5, and reacting the concentrated sulfuric acid with Co, Fe, Mn and Cu in the raw material to generate sulfate, but Co contained in the material3+、Fe3+、Mn4+Cannot be dissolved out under such conditions, therefore, inThe reducing agent and the sulfuric acid are added into the first filter residue to dissolve the first filter residue, high-valence ions in the first filter residue are reduced and dissolved out, and the dissolved liquid is continuously returned to be used as leaching acid of an intermediate product of cobalt or nickel, so that Co, Fe, Mn and Cu, particularly Co elements, can be fully utilized, and the utilization rate of materials and the yield of products are improved.
