Problems solved by technology

The process of using nickel-cobalt hydroxide raw materials to produce ternary precursors mainly includes raw material slurrying-leaching-impurity removal-solid-liquid separation-desiliconization-filtration-extraction-oil removal-ternary synthesis and other processes. When nickel ore transforms to produce nickel-cobalt hydroxide, flocculant is often added, resulting in a large amount of flocculant in nickel-cobalt hydroxide products; and when producing ternary precursors, it will be added in the leaching process of nickel-cobalt hydroxide A large amount of reducing agent sodium pyrosulfite leads to high concentrations of COD and sodium ions in the pre-extraction solution, seriously affecting the quality of the ternary precursor product; at the same time, in order to remove aluminum in the process, the pH value of the solution in the impurity removal process will be adjusted to 5.0~ 5.2 or higher, resulting in a large amount of nickel precipitation, reducing the recovery rate of nickel

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for treating nickel-cobalt hydroxide. The method comprises: (1) using concentrated sulfuric acid and nickel sulfate solution to mature and leach nickel-cobalt hydroxide so as to obtain a mature leachate; (2) mixing the mature leachate and hydrogen peroxide solution for reduction leaching to obtain a reduced Leaching solution; (3) filtering the reducing leaching solution to obtain nickel-cobalt sulfate filtrate and impurity filter cake, wherein the nickel-cobalt hydroxide is obtained by reclaiming nickel-cobalt from laterite nickel ore, and the reducing leaching solution The pH value is 3-5. This method can not only effectively reduce the consumption of auxiliary materials, reduce production costs, and significantly increase the recovery rate of nickel, but also has a remarkable effect of desiliconization and removal of flocculants, and the silicon content in the finally obtained nickel-cobalt sulfate filtrate is not higher than 40mg / L, and the sodium The ion content is not higher than 1.0g / L, and the COD value is not higher than 100mg / L, which can effectively meet the requirements for the production of ternary precursor products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of new materials, and in particular relates to a method for treating nickel-cobalt hydroxide. Background technique [0002] Laterite nickel ore has become the main ore resource of nickel raw materials due to its advantages of abundant reserves, easy mining and low mining cost. The nickel-cobalt hydroxide produced by the transformation of laterite nickel ore has gradually become the main raw material for the production of ternary precursor products for batteries (such as positive electrode composite materials) because the price is lower than that of nickel raw materials produced by nickel sulfide ore. The process of using nickel-cobalt hydroxide raw materials to produce ternary precursors mainly includes raw material slurrying-leaching-impurity removal-solid-liquid separation-desiliconization-filtration-extraction-oil removal-ternary synthesis and other processes. When nickel ore transforms to produce nickel-cobalt hy...
