摘要:
A process for recovering metals such as Ni, Co, Mn, Cu, Zn, among others, through precipitation as sulphides, enabling recovery of magnesium in the form of hydroxide, carbonate and oxide and providing recovery of sulphate as gypsum and ammonium sulphate. Liquid phase, after full treatment, comprises recovered water with a quality proper for total reuse in industrial process.This process of liquid and solid effluent treatment is provided with flexibility to process several types of effluents presenting wide variations in their chemical composition. The main steps of this process are: (1) equalization of liquid effluent, (2) precipitation of metals as sulphides, (3) oxidation of metallic sulphides and crystallization as metallic sulphates, (4) precipitation of magnesium as hydroxide and calcination thereof into magnesium oxide (5) recovery of ammonia, (6) preconcentration of the remaining saline solution, (7) evaporation/crystallization of ammonium sulphate, (8) storage of recovered water, (9) partial or total precipitation of sulphate contained in the effluent with quicklime, (10) segregated storage of gypsum and gypsum-magnesium mixture, (11) softening of the remaining solution and (12) storage of softening water.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a process for the instantaneous control of the precipitation of nickel and cobalt present in a leach liquor by adjustment of the pH-value. Said leach liquor is obtained by pressurized acidic leaching of laterile ores and additionally contains aluminium, ferric and ferrous iron and chromium among others. The process comprises the following steps: precipitation of aluminium, ferric and ferrous iron, chromium etc. by increasing the pH- value by adding a suitable reagent such as lime and/or limestone, following precipitation of nickel and cobalt by further increasing the pH-value of the liquor, finally separating the precipitate from the low-content nickel and cobalt solution. The nickel and cobalt precipitate can be used for further refinement. In order to keep the process conditions constant, the steps of increasing the pH-value are controlled simultaneously.
