    摘要: Provided is a method for separating copper from nickel and cobalt, which is capable of efficiently and selectively separating copper, and nickel and cobalt from an alloy containing copper, nickel and cobalt such as a highly anticorrosive alloy that is obtained by subjecting a waste lithium ion battery to a dry treatment and contains copper, nickel and cobalt. According to the present invention, an alloy containing copper, nickel and cobalt is brought into contact with an acid in the coexistence of a sulfurization agent, thereby obtaining a solid that contains copper and a leachate that contains nickel and cobalt.

    摘要: Provided is a solvent extraction method that allows selectively separating magnesium from an acidic aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The solvent extraction method includes: bringing an acidic aqueous solution of sulfuric acid containing nickel, cobalt, and magnesium in contact with an organic solvent to extract the magnesium into the organic solvent; and using the organic solvent produced by diluting an extractant made of alkylphosphonic acid ester with a diluent. A concentration of the extractant is set to 40 volume% or more and 60 volume% or less and a pH of the acidic aqueous solution of sulfuric acid is set to 1.5 or more and 2.0 or less, or the concentration of the extractant is set to 20 volume% or more and 50 volume% or less and the pH of the acidic aqueous solution of sulfuric acid is set to 2.0 or more and 2.5 or less.

    摘要: Provided is a method for separating copper from nickel and cobalt, which can efficiently and selectively separate copper from nickel and cobalt in a substance containing copper, nickel, and cobalt in a waste lithium ion battery, etc. In this method for separating copper from nickel and cobalt, a substance containing copper, nickel, and cobalt is sulfurated to obtain a sulfide, the obtained sulfide that contains copper, nickel, and cobalt is brought into contact with an acid solution to obtain a solid containing copper and a leachate containing nickel and cobalt. Here, the sulfide preferably contains copper sulfide as a main component, and contains nickel metal and cobalt metal. In addition, when bringing the sulfide into contact with the acid solution, the added amounts of the sulfide and the acid solution are preferably adjusted such that the oxidation-reduction potential of the obtained leachate is maintained at 150 mV or less where a silver/silver chloride electrode is a reference electrode.

    摘要: Provided is a method of manufacturing a high purity solution containing both cobalt and nickel from a hydroxide, for which the manufacturing cost is effectively suppressed. The method of manufacturing the cobalt-nickel-containing solution including: preparing at least one of a crude nickel hydroxide and a crude cobalt hydroxide as a starting material, the crude nickel or cobalt hydroxide containing cobalt and nickel and elements other than the cobalt and nickel as impurities, the crude nickel hydroxide containing the nickel more than the cobalt, and the crude cobalt hydroxide containing the cobalt more than the nickel; a water-washing process for obtaining a post-water-washing crude hydroxide from the starting material; a leaching process for obtaining a post-leaching solution from the post-water-washing crude hydroxide; a neutralization process of subjecting the post-leaching solution to neutralization and solid-liquid-separation to remove the impurities as a post-neutralization residue containing one or more of iron, silicon, aluminum, and chromium, thereby obtaining a post-neutralization solution; and an extraction process of subjecting the post-neutralization solution to solvent extraction to obtain a post-extraction solution containing both cobalt and nickel with the impurities reduced.

    摘要: Provided is a method for efficiently separating copper from nickel and cobalt from a sulfide containing nickel and cobalt together with copper. The present invention is a method for separating copper from nickel and cobalt, the method comprising pulverizing a sulfide containing copper and nickel and cobalt into a predetermined size and then stirring the resultant product under the condition having an oxidation-reduction potential (a reference electrode: a silver/silver chloride electrode) of less than 100 mV using an acid solution to perform a leaching treatment. In this separation method, a leach liquor in which nickel and cobalt are leached and a leach residue containing copper sulfate are produced as the result of the leaching treatment.

    摘要: Provided is a method for producing solutions, by which two solutions, namely a high-purity nickel sulfate solution and a mixed solution of nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate are able to be obtained at the same time from a sulfuric acid solution containing nickel, cobalt and calcium. A method for producing solutions according to the present invention uses a sulfuric acid solution containing nickel, cobalt and calcium and performs a first step S1 for producing a mixed solution of nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate from the sulfuric acid solution and a second step S2 for producing a solution of nickel sulfate from the sulfuric acid solution in parallel. In the first step, the sulfuric acid solution is subjected to solvent extraction by means of an extractant, thereby obtaining a first organic solvent after extraction containing calcium and a first extraction residue containing nickel and cobalt. In the second step, the sulfuric acid solution is subjected to solvent extraction by means of an extractant, thereby obtaining a second organic solvent after extraction containing cobalt and calcium and a second extraction residue containing nickel.
