Abstract
1398558 Recovering metal values from ocean floor nodules DEEPSEA VENTURES Inc 28 Sept 1972 [29 Sept 1971 26 April 1972] 44799/72 Addition to 1347715 Heading C1A Ocean floor nodule ores comprising tetravalent manganese oxide, ferric oxide and compounds of copper, cobalt and nickel are refined by (1) reacting at a temperature of at least 500 C. the nodule ore with a mixture comprising a halogen and a reducing agent being a hydrogen halide, hydrocarbon or carbon monoxide to form a product comprising manganous halide, ferric halide, copper halide, cobalt halide and nickel halide (2) separating the iron halide from the other metal halides and (3) separating the remaining metal halides to form individual substantially pure metal compounds. Oxygen may be present during the halidation process and the halogen may be mixed with a carrier gas, e.g. air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, excess halogen or hydrogen halide and carbonaceous material, e.g. coal may be present during halidation. The halides may be produced in vapour form and may be fractionated to separate the various halides present or the vaporized halides may be condensed, reacted with water vapour or oxygen to produce iron oxide and leached to form an aqueous solution of the remaining halides which may be treated with liquid ion exchange agents numerous examples of which are provided (e.g. substituted 8-hydroxyquinolines, α-hydroxy oximes and naphthenic acids) to extract the individual metals which are removed from these organic extractants by contacting with aqueous stripping solutions, e.g. aqueous mineral acid solution.
