Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this new technology described by this patented inventor relates to an improved way to extract valuable metals from mixed metal materials such as those found around batteries or other sources that contain these elements during manufacturing processes. This results in better quality products while reducing waste compared to previous methods like pyrometallurgy which required multiple steps involving different chemicals.

Problems solved by technology

There have been previous attempts at recovering valuable metallic components such as cobalt (Co) through various processes involving different types of material like spent battery cells that contain these metals. However, current techniques involve complicated steps and can result in poor yield rates due to impurities remaining behind certain metals making them difficult to reuse back up properly without causing harmful effects on other parts of the system's environment.

Abstract

The invention discloses a recycling method for nickel in nickel-cadmium-zinc slag, and relates to a comprehensive recycling method for nickel-cadmium-zinc waste residues generated in a waste nickel-cadmium battery recycling and metallurgical process. The recycling method is characterized in that a recycling process for the recycling method comprises the following steps: (1) adding the nickel-cadmium-zinc slag into a sodium hydroxide solution to carry out leaching; (2) washing the obtained leached residues; (3) drying the washed leached residues, then, carrying out reduction smelting for reducing cadmium oxide and nickel oxide in the slag into elementary-substance cadmium and elementary-substance nickel, and recycling volatilized cadmium in dust collecting equipment; and (4) after the reduction is ended, continuously smelting the rest of nickel, and pouring the rest of nickel into a nickel ingot or atomizing the rest of nickel into nickel powder. Compared with a conventional recycling process, the recycling method for nickel in the nickel-cadmium-zinc slag has the advantages of being short in process, complete in nickel-cadmium-zinc separation, high in a nickel recovery rate, and the like.
