Title:
ALLOY PROCESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/033023
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for effectively obtaining a solution containing nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy that contains copper as well as nickel and/or cobalt, in a waste lithium-ion battery or the like. The present invention is an alloy processing method for obtaining a solution containing nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy that contains copper as well as nickel and/or cobalt, said method including a leaching step for carrying out an acid solution leaching treatment on an alloy-containing slurry in the presence of a sulfurising agent to obtain a leachate and a leaching residue. In the leaching step, the leaching treatment is carried out with the initial concentration of the alloy-containing slurry adjusted to between 100 g/L and 250 g/L. Moreover, in the leaching step, the leaching treatment is preferably carried out while controlling the redox potential (using a silver/silver chloride electrode as a reference electrode) to 200 mV or less. Furthermore, in the leaching step, the leaching treatment is preferably carried out in the presence of the sulfurising agent in an amount in the range of 1.05 to 1.25 equivalent weight (S-mol/Cu-mol) in relation to the amount of copper contained in the alloy.
