Abstract

1348031 Recovery of nickel and cobalt as their basic carbonates T K ROY and S DEY 13 May 1971 14729/71 Heading C1A Nickel and cobalt are recovered from lateritic or limonitic oxide or silicate ores as the basic carbonates by leaching the reduced ore in stages with an ammoniacal ammonium carbonate solution containing 65 to 150 g./l. NH 3 and 35 to 75 g./l. CO 2 in the presence of a free oxygen bearing gas, each leaching stage alternating with a separation stage in which solid is separated from the liquor as a concentrated slurry and subjected to grinding and the total leaching time being sufficient to substantially dissolve the nickel and cobalt present to form soluble ammine complexes, reducing the cobaltic ammine complexes to cobaltous ammine complexes and then steam stripping the liquor to obtain the basic carbonates as a precipitate. The initial reduction process may comprise heating a mixture of fuel oil and dried and calcined ore in a furnace, e.g. in a fluidized bed or multiple hearth or rotary kiln at 550-750‹ C. The fuel oil which may contain sulphur is a liquid petroleum fraction with a flash point above 65‹ C. and it may be mixed with the dried and ground ore in a pug mill batch-wise or continuously or in a rod and ball mill at room temperature or at the feed end of a rotary kiln. The leaching with the ammonia-ammonium carbonate liquor may be carried out countercurrently and at 40-90‹ C. and at a pressure of 2À5-4À5 kg./cm.<SP>2</SP> g. with continuous aeration. The cobaltic ammine complexes produced in the leaching stage are preferably reduced to cobaltous ammine complexes by treating the liquor with sponge Ni or sponge Co powder or with a reducing gas, e.g. H 2 S at 60-100‹ C. and at pressures equal to or greater than atmospheric.
