Title:
HYDROMETALLURGICAL METHOD FOR NICKEL OXIDE ORE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/024930
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the amount of neutralizing agent used in a hydrometallurgical process of nickel oxide ore without lowering the recovery of nickel. The present invention provides a hydrometallurgical method for nickel oxide ore, the hydrometallurgical method comprising a leaching step S4, a preliminarily neutralization step S5, a solid-liquid separation step S6 for a leachate slurry after the preliminarily neutralization step S5, a neutralization step S7 for achieving a final neutralized solution that contains nickel by separating a neutralized sediment that contains impurity elements by adjusting the pH of the leachate, a sulfurization step S8, and a final neutralization step S9. In the preliminarily neutralization step S5, a slurry for a preliminarily neutralization treatment is used as a pH adjusting agent, the slurry having a magnesium content in the solid content of 3% by weight or more and a nickel content in the solid content of 0.7% by weight or more.
