- the slurry ore 104 obtained in the step (a) is leached with sulfuric acid 105 at a temperature of 90 ° C. or more and 100 ° C. or less under normal pressure to obtain nickel, cobalt, magnesium, and iron.
- the leaching temperature By setting the leaching temperature to 90 ° C. or higher, the leaching speed of nickel and cobalt in the slurry ore 104 can be improved. As a result, the leaching time of nickel and cobalt contained in the slurry ore 104 can be reduced. At the same time, the leaching rate of nickel and cobalt can be increased. In addition, by leaching nickel and cobalt contained in the slurry ore 104 at a temperature of 100 ° C. or less, nickel and konoleto can be leached at a temperature of the boiling point of water or less.

- the amount of sulfuric acid to be added can be 0.5 times to 0.8 times the amount of the oxide ore 102 used. By adding 0.5 times or more sulfuric acid, leaching of nickel and cobalt can be sufficiently performed. When the amount of sulfuric acid added is around 0.8 times, the leaching rate of nickel and cobalt reaches an equilibrium state. Therefore, the amount of excess sulfuric acid (free sulfuric acid) can be suppressed by setting the amount of sulfuric acid to be 0.8 times or less. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of recovering nickel and cobalt while maintaining the leaching rate of nickel and cobalt from the oxidized ore.
- the reason why the undersized ore classified in the classification step is used is as follows. That is, nickel and conoreto in the oxide ore are less likely to be leached in the undersized ore than in the pulverized product 103 of the oversized ore.
- the oversized ore crushed product 103 has a higher magnesium content than undersized ore, it may consume free sulfuric acid used for leaching.

- the same oxidized ore as C-1 was used under the same conditions except that iron powder was added to the leaching process in an amount of 0.005 times the total oxide ore.
- Oxide ore D was classified with a 2mm sieve to obtain 61% by weight of 2mm oxide ore and 39% by weight of + 2mm oxide ore. + 2mm oxide ore was ground to a total volume of 2mm.
- 2mm oxidized ore is made into a 28% by weight slurry in seawater, 98% by weight sulfuric acid is added 0.73 times the total amount of oxidized ore before classification, and iron powder is added to the total amount of oxidized ore. It was leached by stirring at a temperature of 95 ° C and atmospheric pressure for 6 hours.
- the sulfuric acid leach liquor and leach residue obtained in this way are crushed with a +2 mm oxidized ore as a 40% by weight slurry in seawater at a temperature of 95 ° C and atmospheric pressure. The mixture was stirred for an hour to react.
