Problems solved by technology

Compared with the antimony salt purification method, the cobalt removal efficiency and cobalt removal depth of the arsenic salt purification method are high, and cobalt is not easy to redissolve, so it has strong adaptability and stability, but this method has some fatal shortcomings: in the purification process highly toxic AsH 3 Gas, which brings great pressure to safe production and environmental protection
[0004] Although the antimony salt purification method has a better impurity removal effect than other methods, its purification depth is limited, and cobalt remelting phenomenon is obvious, which makes it difficult for the antimony salt purification method to meet the development trend of zinc smelting technology

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for deep removing nickel and cobalt impurities in a zinc hydrometallurgy solution. According to the method, manganese metal powder and / or manganese base alloy powder are / is added in a zinc sulfate solution containing nickel and cobalt under the conditions of a certain temperature and a certain pH value, the stirring is conducted for the reaction, and after the reaction is finished, filtering and separating are conducted, and the zinc sulfate solution with the nickel content and the cobalt content both lower than 0.8 mg / L is obtained. According to the method, the nickel impurity and the cobalt impurity in the zinc sulfate solution containing the nickel and the cobalt can be deep removed with the high efficiency and the low cost while impurities doing harm to zinc electrolysis are not guided. The technology process is simple, complex and special equipment is not needed, and good industrial application prospects are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for removing nickel and cobalt from deep wet zinc smelting solutions, belonging to the field of wet zinc smelting. Background technique [0002] Nickel and cobalt are impurity elements that are extremely harmful to the hydrometallurgy process, especially cobalt ions. When the concentration of cobalt ions in the production system exceeds a certain amount, it will lead to a decrease in the quality of electrolytic zinc and a low current efficiency. As a result, the wet zinc smelting process has extremely strict requirements on the concentration of nickel and cobalt in the system, usually requiring that the concentration of nickel and cobalt are both less than 0.8mg / L. On the other hand, with the application of technologies such as large plate electrolysis and mechanical stripping of zinc, the quality requirements for zinc sulfate solution are higher, and it is urgent to remove nickel and cobalt impurities in zinc sulfate ...
