表1高钴高冰镍产品中主要元素含量
Figure PCTCN2022120357-appb-000001
由表1可知,实施例中生产的高钴高冰镍产品的主要有价金属含量明显比对比例要高,特别是实施例3。
金属回收率:表2为实施例1、2、3与对比例整个系统的镍回收率和钴回收率对比统计表,具体数据是通过配料计算、物料平衡计算和热平衡计算得到。
表2不同案例中镍钴回收率对比
金属回收率 实施例1 实施例2 实施例3 对比例
镍回收率(%) 97.21 96.53 97.91 80.27
钴回收率(%) 95.71 94.78 95.88 70.36
由表2可知,实施例中整体系统中镍回收率和钴回收率明显比对比例1要好,特别是实施例3。主要原因在于:(1)实施例还原硫化效果更好,对镍钴的富集程度高,所得到的低冰镍中镍钴品位更高。而影响低冰镍品位的主要因素在于回转窑预还原温度、硫化程度不同,对比例焙烧温度较低,提供不了物质反应所需的能量,使还原硫化反应困难,且添加剂配入量不合理,提供不了反应所需的还原剂和硫化剂,使还原硫化反应不完全,影响低冰镍质量。此外对比例的侧吹炉炉内富氧空气浓度为45%,空气过剩系数为70%,控制冶炼温度为1300℃,使得熔炼反应不佳,脱杂效果差,所得低冰镍质量差。(2)对比例的熔炼渣和吹炼渣没有进一步回收利用渣中的Ni、Co有价金属,而实施例通过熔融氧化炉有效地对渣中的镍和钴进行有效回收利用,使得实施例镍和钴的回收率比对比例高。
上面结合附图对本发明实施例作了详细说明,但是本发明不限于上述实施例,在所属技术领域普通技术人员所具备的知识范围内,还可以在不脱离本发明宗旨的前提下作出各种变化。此外,在不冲突的情况下,本发明的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
