The invention discloses a method for recovering
nickel and
molybdenum from a waste
nickel-
molybdenum catalyst. The method comprises the concrete steps of firstly carrying out primary low-temperature
roasting, then carrying out secondary high-temperature alkali
roasting, and transforming
molybdenum and aluminum components in the waste catalyst into water-soluble
sodium molybdate and
sodium metaaluminate; then carrying out water leaching and
solid-liquid separation to obtain a
nickel slag and an alkaline filter liquor containing molybdenum and aluminum; carrying out acid leaching, evaporative
crystallization and
solid-liquid separation on the nickel
slag to obtain a nickel
sulfate product; and adding a
barium salt precipitant into the filter liquor to separate the aluminum and the molybdenum, obtaining a refined aluminum-containing solution, adopting a chemical
precipitation method to obtain an aluminum
hydroxide precipitate, and calcining to obtain an aluminum
oxide product. According to the method for recovering the nickel and the molybdenum from the waste nickel-molybdenum catalyst provided by the invention, valuable metals in the catalyst is comprehensively recycled, three products such as nickel
sulfate,
barium molybdate and aluminum
oxide are obtained, the valuable
metal recovery rate is high, the product added value is high, and the method has a certain application value.
