Embodiment
The below will describe the present invention in detail.
The present invention relates to a kind of method that reclaims the nickel enriched material from the starting material of nickeliferous (Ni) and iron (Fe).Specifically, dissolving by acid in the situation of leaching nickel because starting material have the Ni of lower concentration and the Fe of high density, so lixiviate relatively large iron and only lixiviate a small amount of nickel.Therefore, the present invention's situation of being difficult to separate applicable to iron and nickel.
Can be used for nickeliferous and starting material iron of the present invention and have no particular limits, as long as these starting material contain nickel and iron, can comprise the nickel minerals such as limonite and saprolite.Nickel minerals comprises the Ni of 1-2.5% and the Fe of 15-55% usually, although can be different according to the difference of nickel minerals type, in nickel minerals, limonite has the lower concentration Ni of 1-1.8% and the high density Fe of 30-55%.The present invention can be used for reclaiming from the limonite with low Ni content the situation of nickel effectively.
When reclaiming nickel from nickel minerals, can carry out for example dry, grind and the pretreatment operation of calcining and so on, thereby effectively reduce hereinafter nickel minerals in the described reduction process.Hereinafter can describe pretreatment operation in detail, i.e. drying, grinding and calcination operation.
As a rule, when when containing nickel minerals and reclaim nickel, adopt the wet method lixiviate, for this reason, contain nickel minerals and usually be ground into the state with moisture.But, because the present invention comprises the subsequent heat treatment operation, so can remove in advance the drying operation of moisture.Than wet lapping technique, the drying and grinding after the drying operation can further increase mill efficiency.In addition, when need to evenly control the granularity that desired ore is reacted in reduction and lixiviate, can adopt the wind speed of fly-ash separator that varigrained particle is carried out the air classifying of particle, thereby can obtain to reduce and the desired powder with uniform particle size of lixiviate reaction.
In the present invention, can use particle diameter to be less than or equal to the mineral dust of 1mm.When the granularity of mineral dust during greater than 1mm, reduction and extraction rate are understood step-down, and especially, workability is variation also, because propose very likely generating pump and line clogging in the reaction process in acidleach.When powder size was less than or equal to 1mm, powder was applicable to the present invention, thereby its lower limit has no particular limits.But, process of lapping must carry out one section needn't be oversize time or carry out several, thereby obtain granularity less than the powder of 10 μ m.Therefore, can use granularity more than or equal to the powder of 10 μ m.
As a rule, nickel minerals contains crystal water, when not carrying out calcination process, can discharge the crystal water that is included in the ore in follow-up reduction process, hinders reduction reaction.Therefore, can be to calcining through the powder that grinds.In nickel minerals, limonite and saprolite have respectively in about 250 ℃-350 ℃ and 650 ℃-750 ℃ characteristics that discharge crystal water.Calcine in 250 ℃-850 ℃ temperature range by the mineral dust that process of lapping obtains, thereby can remove crystal water contained in the nickel minerals.
Simultaneously, have the saprolite of high nickel content mainly as the starting material of Nickel pyrometallurgy, reclaim nickel in the rotary kiln dust that can also adopt the present invention from pyrometallurgical processes, to produce.But because the granularity of dust is included in and is applicable in the OK range of the present invention, and dust has been exposed to the condition of high temperature in pyrometallurgical processes, therefore need not grinding and calcination process in the nickel-containing ore situation.But, owing to the factor the moisture on dust and contact with air band causes granularity to depart from the situation of scope of the presently claimed invention, can grind as required or calcination process.
In addition, when oil refinery company adopts nickel-containing catalyst, may produce the spent catalyst residue, can adopt nickeliferous desulfurization spent catalyst residue method of the present invention to come enrichment and recovery nickel.Because the granularity of spent catalyst residue is usually included in and is applicable in the proper range of the present invention, so need not process of lapping.But, when the spent catalyst residue is reunited, can adopt appropriate means to grind the spent catalyst residue.In addition, can carry out as required aforesaid calcination process.
Following table 1 has shown nickeliferous and raw-material main ingredient iron.The unit of each component concentration is % by weight in the table 1, and remainder is magnesium (Mg) and the manganese (Mn) of oxygen and trace.

Present invention resides in nickeliferous and starting material iron are carried out after the pre-treatment restoring operation that nickel and iron are reduced.Can adopt the reducing gas that comprises hydrogen to carry out described restoring operation, temperature range can be 550 ℃-950 ℃.When reduction temperature is less than or equal to 550 ℃, nickel recovery in follow-up leaching process can descend, because reduction may be insufficient, and when reduction temperature during more than or equal to 950 ℃, reduction ratio can further not increase, only sintering can occur, thereby workability is caused negative impact between particle.
Hydrogen can be used as reducing gas individually, can use with rare gas element, thereby remove the oxygen except hydrogen that exists in the reduction furnace in the reduction reaction process.The example of rare gas element can be nitrogen.
When adopting hydrogen to reduce the starting material (for example, limonite Ni:Fe=1:30) of nickeliferous and iron as reducing gas, the theory reaction of following reaction formula (1) expression occurs.
(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)OFe 2O 3+4H 2=(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+2Fe+4H 2O (1)
From separating from waste gas with the starting material of iron through the nickeliferous of reduction that reduction process obtains, then described nickeliferous and starting material iron through reduction are discharged in the moisture oxygen obstruct tank, make slurry.Because the content of iron component may be very high, when reducing nickel minerals, after reduction, extract in the airborne process and may reoxidize, and may accelerated oxidation react owing to producing heat, thereby increased the risk of lighting.Therefore, prepare slurry from nickeliferous and starting material iron through reduction, thereby can prevent the oxidation of iron component and light.
The present invention includes the acid treatment operation, in this operation, in the slurry that obtains, add acid, with precipitation ferronickel and iron.In the acid treatment operation, the starting material of nickeliferous and iron are introduced in the anoxic reactor, and dissolved nickel minerals to wherein adding acid.Hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid can be used as the acid in the acid treatment operation, but described acid is not limited to this.
Usually, when with acid nickeliferous and starting material iron according to reaction formula (1) reduction being carried out lixiviate, carry out metal acid according to following reaction formula (2) and process, thereby ferronickel is dissolved into ion.
(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+2Fe+6HCl=(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)Cl 2+2FeCl 2+3H 2 (2)
Simultaneously, when the ore that adds the separative limonite of tool that will reduce according to the reaction of reaction formula (1), thereby when making the ferronickel ion precipitation of dissolving in the reaction formula (2), the reaction of following reaction formula (3) occurs.
(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)Cl 2+{(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+2Fe}=Ni 0.2Fe 0.8+2Fe+0.1FeCl 2 (3)
That is to say, by the metal Fe of reduction, so that the ferronickel ion of dissolving is substituted and precipitates into metal.The principle of reaction is based on the natural potential difference of iron and nickel, and for example cell reaction of described reaction of following reaction formula and so on may occur.That is to say, owing in the aqueous solution, formed battery according to the natural potential difference between the metallic iron of nickel ion and reduction, oxidation by Fe is carried out solubilizing reaction in the positive column of the ore of reduction, by the reduction of the nickel ion in the aqueous solution, carry out precipitin reaction in the cathodic area of the ore that reduces.
Anodic reaction: Fe=Fe + 2+ 2e E °=0.44
Cathodic reaction: Ni + 2+ 2e=Ni E °=-0.25
Total reaction: Fe+Ni + 2=Fe + 2+ Ni E °=0.19
Simultaneously, because the reaction of reaction formula (2) is very fast, and the sluggish of reaction formula (3), the reaction of reaction formula (3) becomes the rate-controlling reaction of the precipitation after the ferronickel lixiviate.Specifically, because the solubleness of iron in the aqueous solution is about 150g/L, carry in the process in acidleach, the concentration of ferronickel is limited to and is less than or equal to 5g/L.Therefore, when the concentration of ferronickel was hanged down, meeting was restricted equally according to the concentration of the ferronickel of the reaction enrichment of reaction formula (3).
That is to say, when nickeliferous and starting material iron through reduction that will hang down Fe content join Ni concentration less than 5g/L in acid-treated solution the time, may be difficult to the nickel ion with high recovery rate resolution of precipitate.Reason be the to react reaction of formula (3), thereby so that nickel be substituted and precipitate, but when nickel concentration was low, the rate of diffusion of the reaction in the reaction formula (3) was understood fast-descending.
Therefore, in the nickel precipitin reaction, in the situation of Ni concentration less than 5g/L in acid-treated solution, when nickeliferous and starting material iron reduce with certain ratio of mixture (hereinafter being called " ratio of mixture of Fe/Ni "), the nickel recovery rate can significantly increase, wherein, in the molar weight of Ni in acid-treated solution, in the starting material of the nickeliferous and iron through reducing, comprise the iron more than or equal to 5 times of molar weights.But ratio of mixture can not be greater than 10.When ratio of mixture greater than 10 the time, the increase of nickel recovery rate may and not obvious, and high Fe content may cause the Ni density loss in the Ni enriched material.
Simultaneously, in the Ni concentration in acid-treated solution during more than or equal to 5g/L, even be less than or equal in the ratio of mixture of Fe/Ni in 5 the situation, when the concentration through the ore slurry of reduction increases, also can obtain excellent nickel recovery rate.Its reason is to increase along with the concentration of the ore slurry through reducing, and may introduce a large amount of iron in the solution.
Limonite with high Fe content as shown in table 1 can be used as the starting material of the nickeliferous and iron that is applicable to obtain aforementioned result.But, even adopting in the situation of limonite, when the Ni concentration in acid-treated solution during more than or equal to 5g/L, when the Fe/Ni ratio of mixture less than 3 the time, even in solution in the situation of high nickel concentration, the nickel recovery rate also may not can increase.
Simultaneously, described when carrying the starting material (for example limonite) with low nickel content with acidleach, because the low nickel concentration in the solution may cause nickel to be difficult to replace and precipitation, but when the metal Fe content in the solution increases, can be with recovered in high yields nickel.Carry out in the acid-treated situation at the starting material that adopt aforementioned principles to nickeliferous and iron with low nickel content, when iron when fully dissolving and permission do not remain as metal, can obtain as above identical result.
Therefore, when the ratio of the molar weight of acid and (Fe+Ni) molar weight during less than the equivalence ratio of acid dissolving, after the acid dissolving, can stay iron, and iron can replace nickel ion and make its precipitation.
In the present invention, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid can be used as the acid of nickel lixiviate reaction.Since between hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid chemical equivalent poor, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid have identical principle provides identical effect, so followingly mainly be described as an example with hydrochloric acid.
Shown in reaction formula (2), during the nickel lixiviate, the theoretical equivalence ratio of the molar weight of (Fe+Ni) in the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid of adding and the ore is 1:2.But in the present invention, the add-on of hydrochloric acid is less than theoretical equivalence ratio, thereby can promote the enrichment of nickel.Therefore, in the present invention, in the molar weight of (Fe+Ni) in the starting material of the nickeliferous and iron through reducing, the scope of the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid of adding is 0.5-1.5 times.
In the molar weight of (Fe+Ni) in the starting material of the nickeliferous and iron of reduction, when the scope of the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid that adds is limited in 0.5-1.5 times, the lixiviate of Fe and the precipitation of ferronickel optionally and simultaneously occurs, thereby can make the ferronickel enrichment.For example, when the ratio of the molar weight of hydrochloric acid and molar weight (Fe+Ni) is 1.0, the reaction of following reaction formula (4) occurs.
(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+2Fe+3HCl=(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+0.5Fe+1.5FeCl 2+1.5H 2 (4)
That is to say, ferronickel and iron dissolve according to the reaction of reaction formula (2), because the equivalence ratio of hydrochloric acid is not enough, cause the react reaction of formula (3) of undissolved metallic iron, the ferronickel ion is substituted and precipitates into the ferronickel metal, and the reaction of the formula that finally reacts (4) is in this reaction, ferronickel is not dissolving fully, and the Fe dissolving is only arranged.
Simultaneously, molar weight in (Fe+Ni) in the starting material of the nickeliferous and iron through reducing, when the scope of the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid that adds during greater than 1.5 times, nickel dissolves to reduce nickel precipitation recovery rate, when the scope of the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid that adds during less than 0.5 times, the concentration ratio of nickel is low, thereby may increase the multiplicity of the reaction of reaction formula (4).
Adopting in the situation of sulfuric acid as aforementioned acid, utilize same principle can obtain the result identical with hydrochloric acid.But, shown in following reaction formula (5), than the situation of using hydrochloric acid, owing to use the chemical equivalent of sulfuric acid poor, in the molar weight of (Fe+Ni) in the starting material of the nickeliferous and iron through reducing, the scope of the molar weight of the sulfuric acid of adding can be 0.25-0.75 times.
(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+2Fe+1.5H 2SO 4=(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+0.5Fe+1.5FeSO 4+1.5H 2 (5)
Therefore, owing to can separate the nickel enriched material of the ferronickel form that the reaction according to reaction formula (4) or (5) obtains and as FeCl by solid-liquid separator 2Or FeSO 4The Fe ion of dissolving is so can come only enriching nickel by selective removal Fe ion.
In addition, because according to the concentration of slurry and the concentration of hydrochloric acid, can change the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid of the molar weight that joins (Fe+Ni), so the final pH of carrying out Fe lixiviate and Ni precipitin reaction solution afterwards can be controlled in the scope of 1.0-6.0.When pH less than 1.0 the time, the precipitation of ferronickel be than descending because ferronickel lixiviate reaction is principal reaction, and when pH greater than 6.0 the time, may produce the hydroxide ferronickel to cause the precipitation of Ni.Therefore, the pH in the time of reaction can being finished is controlled in the scope of 1.0-6.0 for example.
The present invention includes and filter and lock out operation, the solution that wherein the acid treatment operation is obtained filters and separates the solid matter that comprises ferronickel, removes iron-containing liquor.By to filtering through acid-treated solution and separating the solid matter that comprises nickel, can obtain the nickel enriched material that nickel concentration increases.
Simultaneously, when owing to filter and lock out operation when obtaining comprising the ferronickel enriched material of abundant nickel concentration, can dissolve the ferronickel enriched material that obtains thus with acid and obtain high-purity nickel.Nickel content can be more than or equal to 5 % by weight in the ferronickel enriched material, thereby from ferronickel enriched material separating nickel.When the nickel content in the ferronickel enriched material during less than 5 % by weight, because high Fe content still, may be difficult to separate and reclaim nickel from the ferronickel enriched material.
When owing to filter and lock out operation, when causing comprising nickel content in the ferronickel enriched material of capacity nickel content less than 5 % by weight, can in the ferronickel enriched material that obtains, add entry, be made into slurry, reduce new nickeliferous starting material and mix with described slurry, then can carry out acid treatment operation and filtration and lock out operation to it.Meanwhile, the acid content in the acid treatment operation be wherein add the integral molar quantity that (Fe+Ni) in the nickeliferous raw-material slurry of reduction arranged 0.25-1.5 doubly.This can represent with following reaction formula (6).
(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+0.5Fe+{1/2(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+2Fe}+3HCl=1.5(Ni 0.1Fe 0.9)+1.5FeCl 2+1.5H 2 (6)
Shown in reaction formula (1), (4) and (5), can reduce constantly Fe content and enriching nickel constantly in the enriched material.Therefore, along with Fe content continuous decrease (for example the ratio of Fe and Ni can drop to 30:1,14:1 and 10:1 successively in the ore of reduction), can be so that the nickel enrichment.
In the iron-containing liquor of removing according to the present invention, the impurity that exists in the ore for example magnesium (Mg) and manganese (Mn) comes along with iron and removes, and wherein said impurity can promote the acid dissolving still the electrochemistry substitution reaction can not occur.Simultaneously, the SiO that is not dissolved by acid in fact 2, Al 2O 3And Cr 2O 3With the enrichment of ferronickel enriched material.
When the concentration range of the ferronickel enriched material that obtains according to the present invention reaches 5-20%, can obtain the starting material of ferronickel form.That is to say that add inorganic and organic binder bond in enriched material, for example then cement and molasses add entry and come the mold enriched material, thereby can make for the granular Ni of containing of stainless steel dissolving and the starting material of Fe.
In addition, owing to spherolite mixes with reductive agent (for example carbon and aluminium), and melting and reduction, with SiO 2, Al 2O 3And Cr 2O 3Make slag, can make the iron of so-called " ferronickel " and the metal alloy of nickel.
When the concentration range of the ferronickel enriched material that obtains according to the present invention reaches 5-20%, reclaim the ferronickel enriched material carrying with acidleach, by filtering and remove not by sour dissolved impurity (SiO for example 2, Al 2O 3And Cr 2O 3) reclaim nickel.
Removing impurity (SiO for example 2, Al 2O 3And Cr 2O 3) time, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other various acid can be used as the acid in the lixiviate operation, but used acid is not limited to this in the lixiviate operation.But, for wastewater treatment and cost consideration, can adopt hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.Adopting in the situation of hydrochloric acid, the molar weight of the hydrochloric acid of adding can be nickeliferous raw-material (Fe+Ni) molar weight 2-4 doubly, in the situation that adopts sulfuric acid, the molar weight of the sulfuric acid of adding can equal 2 times of molar weight of (Fe+Ni).
When adopting acid to come lixiviate through the nickeliferous starting material of reduction, carry out the metal-acid-respons such as following reaction formula (7) and (8).
(NiFe)+2Fe+6HCl→(NiFe)Cl 2+2FeCl 2+3H 2 (7)
(NiFe)+2Fe+3H 2SO 4→(NiFe)SO 4+2FeSO 4+3H 2 (8)
Therefore, nickel and iron optionally are dissolved into ion, contained Al in the nickeliferous starting material 2O 3, SiO 2Or Cr 2O 3Do not dissolved by acid in fact, thereby obtain solids phase residue.Therefore, utilize to filter and can easily the solution containing nickel that obtains in the lixiviate operation be separated with solids phase residue, and can by solid-liquid separator for example pressure filter and decanting vessel separate, to obtain solution containing nickel.
Obtain nickeliferous and solution iron, thereby can obtain highly purified nickel by from solution, removing the Fe component.When the pH of solution is controlled in the scope of 2.5-5.5, thereby when injecting air and remove the Fe component, along with Fe is varied to ironic hydroxide, producing color is orange ironic hydroxide, can come separating nickel and iron by filtering solution.Equally, in addition, can also utilize solvent extration to come separation of iron ion and nickel ion.
Simultaneously, in filtration and lock out operation, remove the iron component of lixiviate in the acid treatment operation, and can process the iron-containing liquor of removing, to regenerate as magnetite and to recycle.In with basic component (for example Wingdale or calcium hydroxide) and iron-containing liquor when being controlled in the scope of 9.5-10.5 with the pH with solution, to wherein injecting oxygen-containing gas such as air, can the ferric oxide ion to produce magnet.This can represent with following reaction formula (9) and (10).
3FeCl 2+6Ca(OH) 2+3O 2=Fe 3O 4+3CaCl 2+6H 2O (9)
3FeSO 4+6Ca(OH) 2+3O 2=Fe 3O 4+3CaSO 4+6H 2O (10)
Thus obtained magnetite can be used as the starting material of carbon steel.But, shown in reaction formula (9) and (10), when adopting hydrochloric acid, can obtain soluble calcium chloride, and in the situation that adopts hydrochloric acid, recycling by product, because can separate magnetite and calcium chloride, thereby so that the waste that produces is as much as possible little.On the contrary, when using sulfuric acid, can produce gypsum, because magnetite and insoluble gypsum precipitate simultaneously, can't recycle precipitated product as the starting material of steel, but the starting material that can be used as cement recycle.

Hereinafter will describe the present invention in detail according to embodiment.But following independent embodiment only provides the present invention is carried out clearer understanding, and unrestricted the present invention.
Embodiment
Embodiment 1
The spent catalyst residue of limonite, saprolite ore deposit and nickeliferous and iron is carried out drying and is ground to mean particle size is 0.8mm, and particle prepares sample 600 ℃ of calcinings.
725 ℃ with hydrogen reduce each sample prepare through the reduction sample, the mol ratio of the molar weight of (Ni+Fe) in described hydrogen and each sample is 1:1.It is the composition through each sample of reduction shown in the table 1.The unit of each component concentration is % by weight in the table 1, and remainder is magnesium (Mg) and the manganese (Mn) of oxygen and trace.
The described water that adds 200mL through each sample of reduction to 200g, to make slurry through the sample of reduction, and add hydrochloric acid of 20% to each sample slurry through reduction and dissolve each through the sample of reduction, the add-on of described hydrochloric acid is 3.75 times of (hydrochloric acid add-ons: 750g), thereby obtain through acid-treated solution of each weight through going back raw sample.
(ICP) studies nickel concentration contained in acid-treated solution by inductively coupled plasma.The nickel concentration in acid-treated solution (through acid-treated solution 1) of the limonite sample through reducing is 4.3g/L, the nickel concentration in acid-treated solution (through acid-treated solution 2) of the saprolite sample through reducing is 6.4g/L, and the nickel concentration in acid-treated solution (through acid-treated solution 3) of the spent catalyst residue sample through reducing is 11.5g/L.
Each sample through reduction that preparation has a same composition shown in the table 1, and the identical Fe/Ni ratio of mixture shown in the following table 2 mixes through acid-treated solution with resulting, has the described same slurry concentration of table 2 (unit: slurry g/L) with preparation.
Utilize the nickel concentration of ICP research, calculate the nickel recovery that causes according to through acid-treated solution and ferronickel precipitation through the ratio of mixture of the sample of reduction.Adopt following equation to calculate through acid-treated solution and ratio of mixture and nickel recovery through going back raw sample, the results are shown in table 2.

The Ni rate of recovery=(1-Ni rate of loss)
Ni concentration in the solution before Ni rate of loss=(the Ni concentration in the Ni concentration in the solution before reaction-reacted solution)/reaction
[table 2]
Figure BDA00003665533000121
As shown in table 2, for the Ni concentration in acid-treated solution less than 5g/L through acid-treated solution 1, when the sample that adds with the ratio of mixture that is less than or equal to 5 Fe/Ni through reduction, can't obtain enough Ni rate of recovery (comparative example 1).But, be understandable that, when the sample that adds with the ratio of mixture more than or equal to 5 Fe/Ni through reduction, the Ni rate of recovery be significantly improved (embodiments of the invention 1 and 3).
That is to say, for the Ni concentration in acid-treated solution less than 5g/L through acid-treated solution, when employing have low Fe content through the sample of reduction the time, may be difficult to obtain the precipitation of the dissolving nickel ion of high-recovery.Reason be the to react reaction of formula (3), thereby so that nickel be substituted and precipitate, but when nickel concentration was low, the rate of diffusion of the reaction in the reaction formula (3) was understood fast-descending.
Simultaneously, for the Ni concentration in acid-treated solution more than or equal to 5g/L through acid-treated solution 2 and 3, be understandable that, slurry concentration increase when the ore through reducing, even adding with the ratio of mixture that is less than or equal to 5 Fe/Ni in the situation of the sample of reduction, still obtain the excellent Ni rate of recovery (embodiments of the invention 2 and 4).Reason is to occur energetically so that the reaction of the reaction formula (3) of Ni precipitation, because because the concentration increase in the ore slurry of reduction causes a large amount of metal Fe to introduce in the solution.On the contrary, when the ratio of mixture of Fe/Ni less than 3 the time (comparative example 1 and 2), even in solution, in the situation of high Ni concentration, also can't increase the Ni rate of recovery.
Therefore, control adds the Fe/Ni of the ore through reducing that is used for enriching nickel than more than or equal to 3, specifically, is understandable that, can adopt the limonite with high Fe content.
Embodiment 2
According to the comparative example 1 of embodiment 1, for the limonite sample through reduction with low nickel content, may be difficult to carry out replacement and the precipitation of nickel, because the nickel concentration in leaching process is low, less than 5g/L.On the contrary, according to embodiments of the invention 4, confirm when the concentration of the metal Fe in the solution increases, can obtain high-recovery.Therefore, the purpose of present embodiment is to have disclosed to increase nickel content and reclaim nickel by carrying out a kind of like this reaction, in the described reaction from the sample of nickeliferous and iron through acid-treated solution, Fe is only arranged by lixiviate, Ni precipitates.
Limonite carries out the dry granularity that then grinds to form 0.8mm.Then particle uses hydrogen 725 ℃ of reduction 600 ℃ of calcinings, with the sample of preparation through reduction.In the sample of reduction, add entry to described with the weight ratio of 1:2, thereby so that oxidation does not occur described sample through reduction, then be that 12% acid adds wherein with concentration.The ratio ([H+]/[Ni+Fe]) of the molar weight by changing the acid in the table 3 and the molar weight of (Fe+Ni) in the sample of reduction carries out acid treatment.
To from through acid-treated solution respectively the iron ion that obtains of lixiviate and precipitation separate with the ferronickel metal and filter, then obtain ferronickel enriched material (enrichment order: first) by therefrom removing iron-containing liquor.
Adopt the equation described in the embodiment 1, calculate the nickel rate of loss by the nickel total content in the sample of reduction and by the relation between the nickel loss amount that nickel concentration research contained in the iron-containing liquor of removing is obtained, then calculate nickel recovery by it.The results are shown in Table 3.
[table 3]
Figure BDA00003665533000131
Figure BDA00003665533000141
Input ratio according to acid is less than or equal to 0.5 comparative example 4 and the embodiment of the invention 5, owing in the iron-containing liquor that separates and remove, do not detect nickel ion, so the nickel recovery of gained is 100%.But, for the comparative example 4 with low sour input ratio, because the meltage of the iron of removing from the ore that adds is reduced to 10.9g, so with respect to the concentration of the Fe in the ferronickel enriched material, actual nickel enriching quantity is little.On the contrary, for embodiments of the invention 5, be understandable that, because the meltage of iron is 27g, apparently higher than the meltage of comparative example 4, so nickel recovery also is high.Therefore, may more wish in guaranteeing the scope of nickel recovery, to have high sour input ratio.
On the contrary, shown in comparative example 5, be understandable that, when the input ratio of acid greater than 1.5(for example 1.8) time, nickel recovery descends.According to analytical results, the total amount of remaining Fe is that 27g(comprises that about 15g's stays Fe in the solution as metal), as a result of, be understandable that the meltage of Fe is about 84g or higher.Thereby capacity metal Fe that can the coprecipitated nickel hydroxide ion does not leave solution, because iron excessive dissolution.That is to say that reason is that the precipitation of nickel is not enough, its reason is the result that the decline of the Fe/Ni ratio in the embodiment 1 has occured, and has dissolved a part of Ni.Simultaneously, the Fe in the sample all is not that the reason of metal Fe is that the Fe reduction ratio is not 100%, in the lixiviate reaction, because the oxygen in the solution and acid dissolving cause Fe that partial oxidation reaction occurs.
Simultaneously, shown in the embodiment of the invention 7, be understandable that, even adopting sulfuric acid to carry out in the acid-treated situation, still obtained the nickel recovery with the situation same excellent that adopts hydrochloric acid.The reason that can obtain identical result is, only except the stoichiometric ratio of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid is different, and can be in situation about occuring in the situation that adopts sulfuric acid with employing hydrochloric acid identical effect.
According to aforementioned result, when the ratio of the molar weight of control acid and the molar weight of (Fe+Ni) in the acid-treated solution equivalence ratio less than the acid dissolving, thereby so that when the sample of the nickeliferous and iron with low nickel content through reduction being carried out Fe does not have excessive dissolution in the acid-treated process, when the scope of the hydrochloric acid that namely adds and the mol ratio of sulfuric acid is respectively 0.5-1.5 and 0.25-0.75, the Fe lixiviate is only arranged after acid dissolution reaction, and remaining Fe so that the Ni ion occurs to replace and precipitin reaction precipitating Ni, thereby can enriching nickel.
