Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing battery grade nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate by waste nickel cobalt alloy. The method comprises the following steps of performing pretreatment on nickel cobalt alloy waste materials; then, performing electrochemical dissolution; removing impurities such as iron, chromium and aluminum from the obtained solution step by step by a chemical method andan extraction method; firstly extracting cobalt from the solution subjected to impurity removal; then extracting nickel; thus respectively obtaining extraction liquid containing cobalt and nickel; after the reverse extraction, obtaining nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate solution; then, respectively performing evaporation, cooling crystallization, and centrifugal dewatering on the solution to obtain a product of the battery grade nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate. The problems of low nickel and cobalt leaching efficiency, low dissolution speed and the like in the waste nickel and cobalt alloy recovery process by a conventional wet process can be effectively solved; the battery grade nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate conforming to the product quality standard requirement can be produced, andcan be used as a new energy source battery raw material to be applied to the field of new energy source battery manufacturing. The process is simple; the environment pollution is low; the metal recovery rate is high; good practical values and economic values are realized.
