摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering a rare earth element, which is capable of efficiently recovering a rare earth element with high recovery rate without using any expensive chemicals, solvents or the like. In the present invention, a water-soluble salt other than sulfate ions is allowed to coexist with an aqueous solution that contains a rare earth element, and then an alkali metal sulfate is added to the aqueous solution, thereby producing a precipitate of a double sulfate of the rare earth element.

Provided is a method for recovering scandium, by which high-quality scandium is able to be efficiently recovered from nickel oxide ore. The present invention comprises: a leaching step S1 for obtaining a leachate by leaching a nickel oxide ore containing scandium with use of sulfuric acid; a neutralization step S2 for neutralizing the leachate by adding a neutralizing agent thereto; a sulfurization step S3 for obtaining a post-sulfurization solution by adding a sulfurizing agent to the post-neutralization solution; an ion exchange step S4 for obtaining a scandium eluent by bringing the post-sulfurization solution into contact with a chelating resin, thereby having scandium adsorbed on the chelating resin; a dissolution step S5 for obtaining a scandium acid dissolution liquid by obtaining a precipitate of scandium hydroxide by adding an alkali into the scandium eluent, and subsequently adding an acid solution to the scandium hydroxide; a solvent extraction step S6 for performing solvent extraction of the scandium acid dissolution liquid by bringing the scandium acid dissolution liquid into contact with a neutral extractant; and a scandium recovery step S7 for obtaining scandium oxide by producing a salt of scandium oxalate by adding oxalic acid to the extraction residue and subsequently roasting the salt of scandium oxalate.

In order to recover high-quality scandium from nickel oxide ores efficiently, this method comprises: a leaching step (S1) for feeding Ni oxide ores and sulfuric acid into a pressure vessel, and subjecting the mixture to solid-liquid separation to form a leachate and a leach residue; a neutralization step (S2) for adding a neutralizing agent to the leachate, and thus forming a neutralization sediment and a post-neutralization fluid; a sulfurization step (S3) for adding a sulfurizing agent to the post-neutralization fluid, and separating the obtained mixture into Ni sulfide and a post-sulfurization fluid; an ion-exchange step (S4) for bringing the post-sulfurization fluid into contact with a chelating resin, making Sc adsorbed on the chelating resin, and forming an Sc eluent; a solvent extraction step (S6) for bringing the Sc eluent into contact with an extracting agent, adding a back-extraction agent to the extract, and thus forming back-extracted matter; and a roasting step (S8) for roasting the back-extracted matter, and thus forming Sc oxide. It is preferable that the method further includes, after the ion exchange step (S4), a concentration step (S5) for forming a sediment from the Sc eluent and dissolving the sediment in an acid, and includes, after the solvent extraction step (S6), an Sc precipitation step (S7) for dissolving the back-extracted matter in hydrochloric acid, adding oxalic acid to the obtained solution, and thus forming Sc oxalate crystals.

The present invention provides a valuable metal leaching method and a valuable metal collection method, in each of which valuable metals can be leached efficiently, the amount of a reducing agent used can be reduced, and cost reduction can be achieved. In the present invention, a positive electrode material is immersed in an acidic solution together with a metal having a lower reduction potential than a reduction potential of hydrogen, whereby valuable metals are leached out from a positive-electrode active substance.

The present invention aims at improving a recovery rate of a positive-pole active substance and preventing a recovery loss of valuable metals when a positive-pole active substance is separated from a lithium ion battery. In the present invention, a material resulting from battery dismantling obtained by dismantling a lithium ion battery is stirred using a surfactant solution, whereby a positive-pole active substance is separated from a positive-electrode substrate. Also, it is preferable that an alkaline solution is added to a positive-electrode material of a material resulting from battery dismantling, thereby dissolving a positive-electrode substrate to which a positive-pole active substance adheres to obtain a slurry containing the positive-pole active substance, and a surfactant solution is added to the slurry to disperse the positive-pole active substance in the slurry, whereby the positive-pole active substance is separated from the alkaline solution.

A wet smelting method for nickel oxide ores from which nickel, c obalt, etc. are recovered is provided with which it is possible to reduce the consumption of an acid in leaching, such as sulfur ic acid, and to recover valuable metals such as nickel and cobal t at a high efficiency. The method according to the present inv ention comprises: step (A) in which nickel oxide ores as a raw m aterial are separated into a limonite-type ore having a low magn esium content and a saprolite-type ore having a high magnesium c ontent; step (B) in which the saprolite-type ore is subjected to normal-pressure leaching under given standardized leaching cond itions using the pressure leachate obtained by pressure leaching in step (C); and step (C) in which the limonite-type ore obtain ed in step (A) is mixed with the normal-pressure leaching residu e obtained in step (B) and the mixture is reacted with sulfuric acid in an acidic atmosphere having a high temperature and a hig h pressure, thereby conducting pressure leaching.
