The invention provides a method for preparing ultra-pure
cobalt, and relates to a method for producing a high-pure
cobalt board by adopting a
hydrometallurgy technology. The purity of the produced high-pure
cobalt board can reach 99.9999% or above. The method for producing the high-pure cobalt board by adopting the
hydrometallurgy technology is characterized in that cobalt of which the brand number is Co9998 is electrochemically dissolved to prepare
cobaltous sulfate stoste, after deep purification of the cobalt solution is achieved through
ion exchange, a
cobalt metal in the high-pure cobaltsolution is refined by adopting an electrodeposition refining technology in an electrodeposition
cell, so that the cobalt is evenly precipitated on a
cathode starting sheet, and the technology processcomprises that the concentration of the
cobaltous sulfate stoste is adjusted to 80-90 grams per
liter, the ph value is controlled to 4.5-5, the flow velocity of the solution is controlled at 25-30
liter per hour, adsorption and decontamination are carried out on the
cobaltous sulfate stoste through
ion exchange resin 711 to obtain a high-pure cobaltous
sulfate solution, then the purified solutionis put into the electrodeposition
cell, the
precipitation of the ultra-pure cobalt in the
cathode is achieved through an electrodeposition refining purification technology, and the
voltage of the
cell is controlled to 1.1-1.3 volts. The prepared high-pure cobalt board has the advantages that the inner portion is compact, the surface is flat, the thickness is 1-2 millimeters, and the purity detected by a glow
mass spectrum
detector can reach 99.9999% or above.
