摘要:
A process for decreasing the crystallinity of nickel hydroxide by generating and supplying large numbers of heteronuclei into the nickel hydroxide producing reaction system. Nickel sulfate and sodium hydroxide are initially forcefully and intimately combined to form a supersaturated solution of heteronuclei. These heteronuclei are introduced into a nickel powder containing slurry wherein nickel hydroxide having a crystallinity FWHM value of greater than about 0.5° is generated.
摘要:
The process precipitates additives onto nickel hydroxide seeds in an ammonia solution. Then introducing at least one metallic additive into the aqueous solution creates a slurry having a reducing potential. The additive is selected from the group consisting of aluminum, cadmium, cobalt, indium, iron, manganese and zinc. Introducing oxygen into the additive-containing slurry at a controlled rate maintains the reducing potential of the solution. At least one of the additives dissolves into the aqueous solution in excess of the slurry's solution solubility to precipitate the additive in the form of a hydroxide on the nickel hydroxide seeds.
摘要:
An improvement in the process of extracting metal from aqueous acidic solution using a quaternary ammonium thiocyanate extractant wherein a special amount of thiocyanate ion is introduced into the aqueous solution prior to or contemporaneously with the extraction. Results achieved are better extractions with little or no additional loss of thiocyanate ion in the aqueous raffinate.
摘要:
A cobaltic oxide hydrate is mixed with spent sulfate electrolyte and the slurry is sparged with air to liberate any entrained chloride ions as gaseous chlorine. Thereafter a reducing agent is used to enable dissolution of the cobalt and obtaining of a chloride-free solution from which, after purification, cobalt can be electrowon.
摘要:
A process for separating nickel and cobalt present in a sulfate solution includes using a cationic extractant to extract both metals, treating the loaded cationic extractant with an aqueous chloride or thiocyanate solution to back-extract the cobalt and thereafter recovering the cobalt from the back-extraction aqueous solution by solvent extraction or ion exchange with an anionic extractant.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for the removal of substantially all the amount of Mn contained in cobalt containing solution thereby to obtain purified cobalt solution with Mn content of 10 ppm or less and specifically a method for removing Mn from cobalt sulfate solution comprising the steps of adjusting pH of the solution within the range of 3-6 and then adding the NaOCl to the solution to obtain an oxidation-reduction potential in the range of 1100 to 1300 mV, with respect to standard hydrogen electrode (SHE); and removing Mn precipitate from thus treated solution.
摘要:
The metal content of nickel-cobalt mixed sulfide slurries is recovered by atmospheric oxidation leaching, thereafter removing dissolved copper by metathesis with further mixed sulfide feed, treating the filtrate after liquid-solids separation with ammonia to selectively precipitate cobalt, separating the cobalt precipitate and working up the resulting filtrate to recover nickel.

摘要:
A method for removing sodium sulfate from nickel and ammonia containing aqueous effluents. The effluents, typically from a nickel hydroxide production process, are cooled to or below 30° C. to crystallize and precipitate the sodium sulfate and dewater the effluent. The sodium sulfate is retrieved and the remaining solution is recycled back to the nickel hydroxide production process.
