文摘A hydrometallurgical process was developed for recovery of nickel and cobalt from the hydrochloric acid leaching solution of alloy scraps.The process consists of five major unit operations: 1) leaching with 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid under the L/S ratio of 10:1 at 95 ℃ for 3 h; 2) copper replacement by iron scraps under pH value of 2.0 at 80 ℃,and stirring for 1 h; 3) removal of iron and chromium by chemical precipitation: iron removal under pH value of 2.0 at 90 ℃ by dropwise addition of sodium chlorate and 18% sodium carbonate solution,then chromium removal under pH value of 4.0 at 70 ℃ by addition of nickel carbonate solution,stirred by air flow for 2 h; 4) selective separation of cobalt from nickel by extraction using 30% trialkyl amine+50% kerosene (volume fraction) and tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) as a phase modifier with the O/A ratio of 2:1,and stripping of cobalt with 0.01 mol/L HCl; 5) crystallization of nickel chloride and electrodeposition of cobalt.It is found that the nickel recovery of 95% and the cobalt recovery of approximately 60% with purity over 99.9% are obtained by this process.
