Title:
PRODUCTION METHOD FOR COBALT SULFATE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/224499
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing high-purity cobalt sulfate by separating impurities and cobalt from a cobalt chloride solution containing impurities without using an electrolysis step. The present invention involves sequentially executing: a first solvent extraction step (S1) for bringing an organic solvent containing an alkylphosphoric acid-based extraction agent into contact with a cobalt chloride solution containing impurities and extracting, from the solution, zinc, manganese, and calcium, by using the organic solvent to separate and remove the zinc, manganese, and calcium; a copper removal step (S2) for adding a sulfiding agent to the cobalt chloride solution and causing precipitation of copper sulfide to separate and remove the same; a second solvent extraction step (S3) for bringing an organic solvent containing a carboxylic acid extraction agent into contact with the cobalt chloride solution to extract cobalt therefrom by using the organic solvent, and thereafter, back-extracting cobalt using sulfuric acid to obtain a cobalt sulfate solution; and a step (S4) for crystallizing the cobalt sulfate solution obtained through the second solvent extraction step (S3). According to the present invention, high-purity cobalt sulfate can be directly produced by separating cobalt and impurities including magnesium, without using an electrolysis step.
