- Ronun'r LEE PEEK a citizen of the United States, residing at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and TORGNY FRED- 5 ERICK ToRELL. a subject of the King of Sweden, residing at Aylmer, county of Wright,Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Refinin of Copper-Nickel Matte; and we do here declare the following to be a full, clear, an exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
- This invention relates to improvements in theseparation of metals from solution by cementation and .in the electrolytic refining of metals, and more particularly to the separation of copper from copper-nickel sulfate solutions by cementation, and the electrolytic refining of nickel.
- the Bessemerized copper-nickel matte has been rendered essentially free from iron by the Bessemerizing operation.
- Such matte will usually contain a considerable amount of ,sulfur, for example, around 18%, although the matte may be further desulfurized, to a greater or ess extent, so that the sulfur content will be further reduced.
- the matte may vary in its copper and nickel content, as well as in its sulfur content, for example, it may contain about nickel, 30% copper, 18% sulfur and the remainder iron and slag.
- the copper-nickel solution to be purified by cementation may be produced in any suitable manner, for example, by first roasting the Bessemerized matte and treating the roasted matte with acid, thereby dissolving all or part of the copper and nickel as metallic salts; or by carrylng out the electrolytic refining of nickel with copper-nickel anodes, with resulting production of a copper-nickel sulfate solution in the anode compartment of the electrolytic cell.
- the solutions produced in this way, as well as similarcopper-nickel sulfate solutions must be freed from copper in order to obtain a commercially pure solution of nickel sulfate, from which pure nickel or its compounds may be separated by chemical or electro-chemical treatment.
- the copper-nickel salt solutions such as coppernickel sulfate solutions
- the matte is used in sufiicient excess to insure a sufiiciently rapid and complete removal of copper by cementation, so that the resulting purified solution is well adapted for use for the production of substantially pure nickel or nickel compounds.
- the separation of the copper from the solution containing salts of copper and nickel is efiected by keeping the solution in contact with the matte for a suiticient length of time and preferably at a temperature of about 70 to 80 C.
- a purified nickel sulfate solution is thus produced of sufiicient purity for use in the electrolytic production of nickel, or for the production of substantially pure nickel compounds.
- the co per-nickel sulfate solution can be brought into contact with the Bessemerized matte in any suitable apparatus, and the cementation can be promoted, for example, by agitation, or by the use of a series of bodies of the matte through which the solution is passed on the counter-current principle, or by fine grinding and by heatmg the solution.
- the nickel content of the matte is thus only partially utilized, while the matte is correspondingly increased in co per content.
- metallic nickel which is a component of converter mattes containing copper and nickel.
- A. part of the nickel in such mattes is commonly combined with sulfur; but there is never a sufiiciently large proportion of sulfur in such mattes to combine with all of the copper and nickel contained therein. it is also probable that a reaction takes place between the nickel sulfide on the one hand, and the copper salt on the other.
- the discarded cementation residue impoverished in nickel and correspondingly increased in copper content, as compared with the original Bessemerized matte, can be subsequently treated for the recovery of copper.
- it may be roasted, the roasted product leached, and the copper plated out electrolytically from the resulting solution with the employment of insoluble anodes.
- Any residue from the leaching operations may be dried, reduced with carand by carbe increased bon or other reducing material, melted down and cast into anodes for electrolytic refining.
- the solution to be purified by the cementation may be either neutral or acid.
- cementation. process is effective in either case, but is strongest when the solution contains a slight amount of free acid.
- the improved process of the present in -vention is of particular advantage when carried out in conjunction with the electrolytic refining of the purified nickel sulfate solution with the use of the copper-nickel anodes.
- the partially exhausted matte can thus be utilized for producing the coppernickel anodes, by subjecting the material to roasting, to convert the metals into oxides, leaching the greater portion of the copper from the roasted material, smelting the undissolved oxides to produce metal contaimng only a small percentage of sulfur, and casting such metal into anodes.
- These anodes are .then used in the electrolytic cell, and the copper-nickel sulfate solution pro Jerusalem in the anode compartment can be purified from copper by cementation upon further amounts of the Bessemerized matte.
- the partial exhaustion of the matte by cementation, and the utilization of the partially exhausted matte for the production of the copper-nickel anodes make possible the balancing of the process so that the anodes will contain only so much copper as can readily be cemented upon the Bessemerized matte. That is, the Bessemerized matte is used to. particular advantage in this way, for the reason that it is used for cementation only in part and in such a way that it exerts a rapid and effective cementing action, while the remaining partially exhausted material, after being freed from the excess copper, can be utilized in the formof copper-nickel anodes, and only so much copper will be contained therein as can be rapidly and effectively removed by cementation by an equivalent amount of the Bessemerized matte.

Be. it known that Ronun'r LEE PEEK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and TORGNY FRED- 5 ERICK ToRELL. a subject of the King of Sweden, residing at Aylmer, county of Wright,Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Refinin of Copper-Nickel Matte; and we do here declare the following to be a full, clear, an exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
- This invention relates to improvements in theseparation of metals from solution by cementation and .in the electrolytic refining of metals, and more particularly to the separation of copper from copper-nickel sulfate solutions by cementation, and the electrolytic refining of nickel.
According to the resent invention, the
separation of copper rom copper-nickel sulfate solutions is efiected by cementation on Bessemerized copper-nickel matte, with the utilization of an excess of the matte, so that its theoretical cementation capacity is but partly exhausted, and so that the cementation can be efiected rapidly and completely on large scale operations, The resulting partially exhausted Bessemerized matte and cement copper is then further treated for the removal of its excess copper, and the residue can then be used for the production of copper-nickel anodes for use in the electrolytic refining of nickel. The amount of copper contained in the anodes can be so regulated that it can be efiectively removed from the electrolyte by cementation upon a corresponding amount of the Bessemerized matte. The electrolytic process accordingly can be advantageously carried out as a ess and with efiective utilization o the Bessemerized matte.
In the purification of copper-nickel sulfate solutions by cementation, for the removal of copper therefrom, it hasbeen the practice heretofore to make use of reduced metal, produced by oxidation of Bessemerized copper-nickel matte, and subsequent reduction of the oxides so produced.
Accordin to the present invention, the oxidation 0 the cyclic rocmatte, and the subsequent Application filed August 26, 1920. Serial No. 406,059.
reduction to produce the metals for use in the cementation, are eliminated, and an excess of the Bessemerized matte is employed directly for the cementation.
The Bessemerized copper-nickel matte has been rendered essentially free from iron by the Bessemerizing operation. Such matte will usually contain a considerable amount of ,sulfur, for example, around 18%, although the matte may be further desulfurized, to a greater or ess extent, so that the sulfur content will be further reduced. The matte may vary in its copper and nickel content, as well as in its sulfur content, for example, it may contain about nickel, 30% copper, 18% sulfur and the remainder iron and slag. p
The copper-nickel solution to be purified by cementation, according to the present invention, may be produced in any suitable manner, for example, by first roasting the Bessemerized matte and treating the roasted matte with acid, thereby dissolving all or part of the copper and nickel as metallic salts; or by carrylng out the electrolytic refining of nickel with copper-nickel anodes, with resulting production of a copper-nickel sulfate solution in the anode compartment of the electrolytic cell. The solutions produced in this way, as well as similarcopper-nickel sulfate solutions, must be freed from copper in order to obtain a commercially pure solution of nickel sulfate, from which pure nickel or its compounds may be separated by chemical or electro-chemical treatment.
According to the present invention, the copper-nickel salt solutions, such as coppernickel sulfate solutions, are brought into contact with an excess of Bessemerized matte containing nickel, and the matte is used in sufiicient excess to insure a sufiiciently rapid and complete removal of copper by cementation, so that the resulting purified solution is well adapted for use for the production of substantially pure nickel or nickel compounds. Thus, the separation of the copper from the solution containing salts of copper and nickel is efiected by keeping the solution in contact with the matte for a suiticient length of time and preferably at a temperature of about 70 to 80 C. The whole of the copper contained in the solution is thereby cemented out on the particles of matte and is re laced in the solution by an equivalent of nic el. A purified nickel sulfate solution is thus produced of sufiicient purity for use in the electrolytic production of nickel, or for the production of substantially pure nickel compounds.
The co per-nickel sulfate solution can be brought into contact with the Bessemerized matte in any suitable apparatus, and the cementation can be promoted, for example, by agitation, or by the use of a series of bodies of the matte through which the solution is passed on the counter-current principle, or by fine grinding and by heatmg the solution. For practical purposes, however. it is advantageous to carry out the operation at temperatures such as those abt 'e indicated, and with the use of a large excess of matte, such that only a part of the total nickel is dissolved therefrom, for example, only about 20 to 30%. The nickel content of the matte is thus only partially utilized, while the matte is correspondingly increased in co per content.
The copper eposits on the matte particles as metallic copper, and this'may be ascribed, in part at least, to the influence of metallic nickel which is a component of converter mattes containing copper and nickel. A. part of the nickel in such mattes is commonly combined with sulfur; but there is never a sufiiciently large proportion of sulfur in such mattes to combine with all of the copper and nickel contained therein. it is also probable that a reaction takes place between the nickel sulfide on the one hand, and the copper salt on the other.
While it is. possible by prolonged treat ment of the matte with successive amounts of the copper bearing solution to remox e the greater part of the nickel from the matte, leaving a residue consisting essentially of copper sulfide and metallic copper. it is more advantageous to continue using the matte only so long as the cementation proceeds with reasonable speed. The speed of cementation on matte can by finer grindingof the matte, rying out the cementation at a higher temperature and with agitation. The matte will commonly be discarded as cementation material while there still remains therein substantial amounts of nickel.
The discarded cementation residue, impoverished in nickel and correspondingly increased in copper content, as compared with the original Bessemerized matte, can be subsequently treated for the recovery of copper. Thus it may be roasted, the roasted product leached, and the copper plated out electrolytically from the resulting solution with the employment of insoluble anodes. Any residue from the leaching operations may be dried, reduced with carand by carbe increased bon or other reducing material, melted down and cast into anodes for electrolytic refining.
The solution to be purified by the cementation may be either neutral or acid. The
cementation. process is effective in either case, but is strongest when the solution contains a slight amount of free acid.
The improved process of the present in -vention is of particular advantage when carried out in conjunction with the electrolytic refining of the purified nickel sulfate solution with the use of the copper-nickel anodes. The partially exhausted matte can thus be utilized for producing the coppernickel anodes, by subjecting the material to roasting, to convert the metals into oxides, leaching the greater portion of the copper from the roasted material, smelting the undissolved oxides to produce metal contaimng only a small percentage of sulfur, and casting such metal into anodes. These anodes are .then used in the electrolytic cell, and the copper-nickel sulfate solution pro duced in the anode compartment can be purified from copper by cementation upon further amounts of the Bessemerized matte. In this way, the partial exhaustion of the matte by cementation, and the utilization of the partially exhausted matte for the production of the copper-nickel anodes make possible the balancing of the process so that the anodes will contain only so much copper as can readily be cemented upon the Bessemerized matte. That is, the Bessemerized matte is used to. particular advantage in this way, for the reason that it is used for cementation only in part and in such a way that it exerts a rapid and effective cementing action, while the remaining partially exhausted material, after being freed from the excess copper, can be utilized in the formof copper-nickel anodes, and only so much copper will be contained therein as can be rapidly and effectively removed by cementation by an equivalent amount of the Bessemerized matte.
The electrolytic operation may, with advantage, be such an electrol tic operation as is described in the U. Patent No. 805,969 to Hybinette, or in the process of the U. S. application of Hybinette Serial No. 328,968 filed February 16, 1920, in which the nickel sulfate solution is supplied to the cathode compartment and passed through a filtering diaphragm, and
the copper-nickel anodes for the electro lytic operation. The process can thus be made a cyclic process, with advantageous and effective use of the matte for cementation, and of the partially exhausted matte for anode production.
The process can thus advantageously be made a cyclic process for the separation of copper from nickel consisting in several steps that may be somewhat varied, but including the stepsof, (1) cementation of copper from solution on the matte (2) roasting of the partially exhausted matte and leaching of. theroasted product with acid for the removal of the bulk of copper and (3) recovering the remainder of the copper from a solution of the copper-nickel residue by the first step of cementation.
While I have described the invention in connection with the treatment of Bessemerized copper-nickel matte, produced in a Bessemer converter, yet other copper-nickel mattes from which substantially all the iron has been removed, and which have been produced by other processes, can be similarly used, and are to be considered as equivalents. of Bes'semerized copper-nickel matte for purposes of the present invention, and their treatment withinthe scope of the appended claims. g eclaim- Q 1.
