Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cobalt-nickel-containing solution including: preparing a crude nickel hydroxide and/or a crude cobalt hydroxide as a starting material, the crude nickel or cobalt hydroxide containing cobalt and nickel and elements except 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 cobalt and nickel with the impurities reduced.

Abstract: In separating scandium and thorium from a leachate obtained by adding sulfuric acid to a nickel oxide ore containing scandium and thorium, scandium is recovered from only one system. The method according to the invention comprises: an extraction step S1 for treating a nickel oxide ore containing scandium and thorium with sulfuric acid to give an acidic solution (a feed solution for extraction), and then solvent-extracting the feed solution with the use of a scandium extractant containing an amide derivative to thereby divide the feed solution into an organic extract (a first organic phase) containing scandium and thorium and a liquid extract (a first aqueous phase) containing impurities; and a washing step S2 for adding sulfuric acid to the organic extract (the first organic phase) and thus dividing the same into washed organic matters (a second organic phase) containing thorium and a washed liquid (a second aqueous phase) containing scandium.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for easy and efficient recovery of high purity scandium from nickel oxide ore, the method comprising: an adsorption step for passing a scandium-containing solution through an ion exchange resin to adsorb scandium on the ion exchange resin; an elution step for eluting scandium from the ion exchange resin to obtain a post-elution solution; an impurity extraction step in which after the elution step, the scandium-containing solution is subjected to a first solvent extraction using an amine-based impurity extractant and is separated into a first aqueous phase containing scandium and into a first organic phase containing impurities; and a scandium extraction step in which the first aqueous phase is subjected to a second solvent extraction using an amide derivative-containing scandium extractant to obtain a second organic phase containing scandium.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sulfuric acid solution includes supplying a chloride ion-containing sulfuric acid solution as an initial electrolyte in an electrolyzer inside of which is divided into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber by a diaphragm; and subsequently taking out a metal dissolved electrolyte in which a metal constituting the anode is dissolved from the anode chamber while supplying a current to an anode and a cathode disposed in the electrolyzer.

Abstract: Provided are a metal electrodeposition cathode plate, the non-conductive film of which is not susceptible to failure and which can be used repeatedly, and a production method therefor. This cathode plate comprises a metal plate on which multiple disc-shaped protrusions are disposed, and a non-conductive film formed on the non-protrusion flat areas of the metal plate. The minimum film thickness Y of the non-conductive film at positions between the centers of adjacent protrusions is the same or greater than the height X of the protrusions. It is preferred that the height X of the protrusions is 50 μm to 1000 μm.
