Abstract:
At the beginning of a dezincification plant used in a dezincification step in a hydrometallurgical method for nickel, a decrease throughout the dezincification plant is controlled to prevent a decrease in production volume and a cake layer is formed on a filter cloth provided to a filter device inside the dezincification plant. At the beginning of dezincification plant, a slurry containing a formed zinc sulfide is supplied to a filter for filtration and separation, an adjustment is performed in which the flow rate of the slurry is increased to reach a target flow rate in a time T2 which satisfies the following relational expression 3×T1≦T2≦5×T1, where T1 represents the time between starting a slurry supply and attaining the target flow rate in the case of transferring the slurry at the maximum liquid transfer capacity of a pump configured to transfer the slurry.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a polycrystalline IR transparent material produced by sintering chalcogenide powder, e.g., ZnS powder, using hot uniaxial pressing followed by hot isostatic pressing. The microstructure of the material described in this disclosure is much finer than that found in material produced using the state of the art process. By using a powder with a particle size fine enough to improve sintering behavior but coarse enough to prevent a lowering of the wurtzite-sphalerite transition temperature, a highly transparent material with improved strength is created without degrading the optical properties. A high degree of transparency is achieved during hot pressing by applying pressure after the part has reached a desired temperature. This allows some degree of plastic deformation and prevents rapid grain growth which can entrap porosity. The crystallographic twins created during this process further inhibit grain growth during hot isostatic pressing.
Abstract:
A hydrometallurgical process for a nickel oxide ore comprising obtaining an aqueous solution of crude nickel sulfate by high pressure acid leaching of a nickel oxide ore; obtaining a zinc free final solution by sulfurization of the solution; obtaining a waste solution; and scrubbing hydrogen sulfide gas from an exhaust gas. The process is characterized by at least one of the following operations: Adjusting the total volume (m3) of a sulfurization reactor to a ratio of 0.2-0.9 (m3/kg/h) relative to the input mass (kg/h) of the nickel to be introduced to the reactor; and/or subjecting the waste solution and the exhaust gas to countercurrent contact, then introducing the exhaust gas back to the scrubber and charging the waste solution from the scrubber into the sulfurization reactor.
