Abstract

The invention provides a method for leaching nickel and cobalt from low-grade laterite-nickel ore, comprising the steps that: smash, grinding and size mixing the ore, controlling the ore granule -100mesh; adding ore pulp into a reaction kettle for atmospheric pressure acid leaching; strengthening by a reducer during the leaching process. The leaching condition is: the ratio of acid to material is0.2:1-0.5:1; the ratio of solid to liquid is 3:1-5:1; the temperature is 60 to 95 DEG C; electroequivalent of the reducer according to Fe in the ore is 0.5-1.0; the leaching time is 60 to 240 minutes; and the lixivium is partially cycled during the leaching process to control the nickel concentration greater than 2g / L. In the method for processing low-grade laterite-nickel ore, the leaching rateof nickel is greater than 90%, the leaching rate of cobalt is greater than 85%, and the leaching rate of ferrum is lower than 30%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting nickel from nickel ore, in particular to a method for acid leaching nickel and cobalt from low-grade laterite nickel ore. Background technique [0002] Nickel is a metal with abundant reserves on the earth. The world's terrestrial nickel reserves are about 470 million tons, of which 60% belong to lateritic nickel deposits, and 40% belong to magmatic copper-nickel sulfide deposits. At present, the nickel produced by the world's nickel industry mainly comes from nickel sulfide ore resources, accounting for about 60% to 65% of the total output, and the rest comes from nickel oxide ore. However, with the depletion of nickel sulfide ore on the earth, the proportion of nickel produced from nickel oxide ore is increasing rapidly. It is estimated that by 2010 the production of nickel from nickel oxide ore will exceed the production of nickel from nickel sulphide ore. The nickel content of nickel laterite ore i...
