Definitions
- the present invention is related to the field of hydrometallurgical techniques for recovery of nickel and cobalt.
- Chelating polymeric resins are examples of ionic exchangers very efficient in selectively removing heavy metals (such as nickel and cobalt) when compared to other exchangers.
- These ionic-exchange polymeric resins are copolymers with covalently-linked functional groups, containing one or more donor atoms (Lewis Base). They can form coordinated bindings with most metal ions (Lewis Acid). Coulombic and hydrophobic interactions are also present, but their contribution in high metal-ion selectivity is rather small when compared to the Lewis acid-base interactions.
- the iminodiacetic acid functional group the presence of weak acid clusters leads this exchanger to display high affinity for H+ ions. Hence, the lower the pH, the less selective is recovery of metal ions in view of competition with H+ ions.
- These resins can normally be regenerated with acid solutions (sulfuric or chloride acid, for instance) and such regeneration is highly efficient.
- Amberlite IRC 748 ® Both are chelating-type resins with different functional groups and made by different producers.
- Dow Chemical Company has reported a series of chelating resins, among them Dowex M4195 ® , which is efficient in adsorbing transition metal cations, with high selectivity for copper, nickel and cobalt in the presence of high iron concentrations in a very acid medium (K.C. Jones, et al., "Continuous Recovery from Acidic Leach Liquids by Continuous Ion-Exchange and Electrowinning", Journal of Metals, pp. 19-25, April 1979).
- This resin comprises a macroporous polistyrene/divinilbenzene-type copolymer, to which is affixed weak-base derived picolylamine chelating: bis-picolylamine (L.
- M4195 its overall structure is based on the weakly-basic bis- picolilamine chelating group, which is covalently linked to the polestirene-divinilbenzene copolymer (see Table 2).
- M4195 is the resin most often cited in the literature. However, no record was found of Ni/Co recovery in nickel lateritic ore treatment processes.
- M4195 resin's functional clustering acts as a complexant agent more efficient for nickel, when compared to other resins, in the entire pH range.
- its selectivity for cobalt is considerably less.
- Cobalt which is swiftly adsorbed in initial loading (charging), soon desorbs, due to nickel's preferential selectivity.
- Cu and Ni are effectively adsorbed, even at low pH values, in the following adsorption order: Cu>Ni>Co>Zn>Al.
- Amberlite IRC 748 ® is a chelating-type resin with high selectivity for heavy metal cations, if compared to alkaline metals. Selectivity is reached by the iminodiacetic acid functional group chemically linked to a macroreticular matrix. According to its maker, Rohm & Haas Company, given its high selectivity for heavy metals and outstanding kinetic performance, this resin can remove metals from the solution, even in the presence of high concentration of calcium and sodium salts. Moreover, its macroreticular structure is highly resistant to osmotic shock and features excellent physical stability. Table 3 below shows the structure of the iminodiacetic acid functional group and some physical properties.
- Industrial units which use hydrometallurgical processing to recover nickel and cobalt include a countercurrent multi-stage settling circuit, which is responsible for separating solid-liquid and washing solids, in order to maximize nickel and cobalt recoveries from the leaching effluent pulp.
- a series of corrosion-resistant thickeners is used. However, they involve high capital and operating cost, occupy large areas and consume significant amounts of washing water.
- An option replacing costly countercurrent settlement is to use a RIP system. This is used to recover nickel and cobalt from leached pulp, with no need to use thickeners.
- nickel and cobalt would be individually recovered, separated and purified via continuous ionic exchange in countercurrent, for instance, based on concentrated eluant solution. This eluant solution could be based on chloride or sulfide. Final recovery could occur through electrolysis, pyrohydrolysis, reduction via hydrogen or precipitation methods, among other forms.
- RIP technology can be used to enhance pre-existing systems or to replace conventional technologies. In cases wherein process engineering is taken into account, this technology could substitute counter current decantation ("CCD") technology and reduce environmental impact. In operating plants using the CCD process, RIP technology can improve the pre-existing technology, increase metal recovery and improve their purity, in addition to reducing environmental impact. This alternative, coupled to the solid-liquid separation circuit, becomes particularly attractive in cases wherein Iateritic ores are hampered by constrains (long deposition time) to CCD circuit processing, triggering metal losses in residues.
- CCD counter current decantation
- RIP is a process in which the ionic exchange polymeric resin directly contacts the leaching pulp in countercurrent. Sieve screening separates resin from pulp, and metals in the resin are recovered through elution. This system is commonly used in commercial uranium recovery, especially for low-grade and hard-to-settle pulps.
- the carbon-in-pulp (“CIP") process has a similar concept, where coal (carbon) performs a role similar to resin's in the RIP process.
- RIP technology's chief characteristic is the "sorption-leaching" phenomenon. In it, ionic exchange continuously removes nickel and cobalt from the liquid phase, allowing subsequent leaching. Therefore, an additional amount of nickel and cobalt is recovered from the pulp's solid portion, which is normally not recovered in other processes.
- IONEX Continuous ionic exchange
- the continuous ionic exchange system makes a large number of functions simultaneously possible, given its continuous operation, thus allowing the system to enjoy great flexibility.
- the IONEX system can be adjusted in a pre-existing fixed resin bed or in a mobile bed system. Locating existing resin vases is not relevant, which translates into process advantages and less operating costs, with no need of a full upgrade.
- Duyvesteyn, et al. describes a process for selectively recovering nickel by ion exchange absorption from a Ni/Co sulfuric acid feed solution obtained from limonite ore which is pressure leached with sulfuric acid and then neutralized and solid/liquid separated, containing nickel in the range of about 0.5 to 40 gpl and cobalt in the range of about 0.01 to 2 gpl as sulfates.
- the document describes that the absorbed nickel is stripped from said resin with sulfuric acid to form a nickel sulfate solution characterized by a nickel to cobalt ratio of at least about 50: 1 suitable for the recovery of substantially pure nickel by electrolysis.
- the document refers to the recovery of nickel merely by electrolysis, which is a well known method for this specific technology and it also uses the solid/liquid separation.
- Stream" to D. Krebs is directed to recovery of nickel and cobalt from acidic resin eluate containing Ni and Co, treating the eluate with immiscible organic reagent to selectively absorb the majority of Co, and portion of any copper, zinc and manganese present in the eluate, but it does not mention the recovery of nickel as oxide and the method for separating both metals used therein is by the traditional extraction-by-solvents methods.
- Laterite Ores By Combination Of Atmospheric And Moderate Pressure Leaching to D. Neudorf, et al., describes a process for leaching laterite ores containing limonite and saprolite. Sufficient mineral acid is added to a slurry of limonite, which is leached at atmospheric pressure to dissolve most of the soluble non-ferrous metals and soluble iron. After adding saprolite the slurry is further leached at a temperature above the normal boiling point and at a pressure above atmospheric pressure for a time sufficient to leach most of the contained nickel in the saprolite and to precipitate most of the iron in solution.
- nickel and/or cobalt can be recovered by several types of methods, without defining which would be the best one for the recovery, apart from the fact that it uses the traditional method of autoclave to leach most of the contained nickel in the saprolite ore and to precipitate most of the iron in solution.
- the present invention deals with a hydrometallurgical process to produce nickel as hydroxide, oxide or cathode and produce cobalt preferably as sulfides.
- the present invention is particularly adequate to process eluate containing nickel and cobalt.
- Eluates are solutions obtained from elution of ionic exchange resins, loaded (charged) in the RIP (resin- in-pulp) process of ionic exchange, to recover nickel and cobalt from effluent pulps in acid leaching. Following nickel and cobalt recovery in a RIP circuit, they are separated from each other via a continuous ionic exchange process, after which the nickel eluate is formed to produce nickel as nickel oxide by a pyrohydrolysis process, which is the key stage of the invention.
- Figure 1 is a prior art schematic representation flowchart for RIP (resin-in- pulp).
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the invention.
- the present invention in accordance with Figure 2, refers specifically to a hydrometallurgical process seeking to recover nickel and cobalt.
- the present invention replaces the conventional extraction-by-solvents methods used so far in the prior art as shown in Figure 1 to recover nickel and/or cobalt.
- the use of pyrohydrolisis to produce nickel oxide and to regenerate acid with the use of the continuous ion exchange technology to separate nickel and cobalt contained in the eluate obtained in the previous RIP (resin-in-pulp) stage provides specific characteristics to the present invention.
- IONEX has a unique valve that allows one to easily change flows, switching from a loading step to a elution step faster and easily. This new method allows one to separate nickel and cobalt, using different loading (charging) and elution times.
- Eluate obtained in the previous RIP operation contains high concentrations of nickel and cobalt, which must be separated through continuous ionic exchange and countercurrent systems.
- Nickel and cobalt are separated through the use of ionic exchange resins for selective nickel recovery.
- the resin adsorbs all or most of the nickel dissolved in solution, leaving all or most of the remaining cobalt in solution with impurities.
- Cobalt is then precipitated as sulfide, hydroxide or carbonates, and nickel is eluted from the resin and recovered in a wide-range of different products, as precipitate in the form of hydroxide, oxide via pyrohydrolysis, with HCI regeneration or electro-recovered as cathode nickel.
- the present process leads to expectations of efficient recovery of metals of interest, selective removal of low concentrations of metal ions, such as cobalt, preferably in excess of other metals, high loading (charging), high mechanical resistance which reduces friction-caused losses, swift elution, and minimal or no loss due to organic material contamination.
- metal ions such as cobalt
- Pyrohydrolysis may be regarded as a key stage in the present invention.
- chloride acid regeneration is an environmental necessity. In many hydrometallurgical processes, it is essential to recover the leaching agent (HCl, Cl 2 , FeCl 3 ), since discarding it with dissolved metals is economically and ecologically unacceptable.
- the second major advantage is the economic savings obtained in acid regeneration, as reagents' operation cost is minimized. High recovery (roughly 99%) of high-purity acid is common, and this is vitally important if the objective is to sell chloride acid.
- NiCl 2 a concentrated NiCl 2 solution can be produced. This solution can undergo pyrohydrolysis, generating NiO and HCl, or undergo electrolysis, generating metallic nickel and chloride gas. In order to obtain metal from NiO, oxide must be reduced with H 2 at a 750 0 C temperature.
- electrolysis has some drawbacks: chloride necessary for HCI production is generated in small amounts in many anodes, and it must be carefully collected and treated. Electric power generation is costly and its efficiency is only 35%. Pyrohydrolysis produces nickel oxide in one single stage, but it also simultaneously produces chloride gas, which is absorbed in water. Metal reduction can be carried out in a separate furnace, with H 2 stoichiometric addition. In such cases, granular nickel oxide is preferred, because in its fine form it can agglomerate around the reduction furnace. Nickel pyrohydrolysis occurs at relatively high temperatures, above 12TC.
- Thermodynamic data reveal that, if the temperature drops down to 700°C, reverse NiO reaction occurs, generating NiCl 2
- the exact temperature depends on the HCI/H 2 O ratio in the gas. In partial HCI high pressure, reverse reaction forming NiCl 2 occurs at temperatures above 700°C.
- the present invention refers, specifically, to a hydrometallurgical process for recovery of nickel and cobalt, as follows: a. apply to a pulp resulting from lateritic ore leaching, nickel oxidate, cobalt oxidate or a mixture with nickel and cobalt as metals of interest, and other secondary metals regarded as impurities such as manganese, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, iron and chromium; b. possible pH adjustment aided by acid or base, so as to best fit metal solubilization/precipitation performance and, simultaneously, an optimal and selective loading of nickel and cobalt in the resin; c.
- leached pulp contacts ionic exchange resin, in a RIP process, to obtain resin loaded with nickel and cobalt plus an impurity-bearing raffinate d.
- loaded resin is separated from pulp via screening; e. nickel and cobalt eluted from resin, to form eluate bearing nickel soluble salt and cobalt soluble salt as well as impurities; f. possible reduction of soluble impurity species or use of cementing/complexation techniques, in order to avoid resin adsorption in next stage; g. eluate obtained contacts ionic exchange resin, to load nickel in resin and remaining cobalt in raffinate, so as to secure nickel-cobalt separation; h.
- nickel-bearing resin is separated from raffinate concentrate in cobalt; i. nickel-bearing resin is eluated in acid solution, wherein a feature of the invention is in the fact that nickel and cobalt are separately recovered, in which cobalt is precipitated as sulfide, hydroxide or carbonates and nickel is eluted from the resin and recovered in a wide-range of different products, as precipitate in the form of hydroxide, electro-recovered as cathode nickel or as nickel oxide via pyrohydrolysis at relatively high temperatures, above about 727°C, with HCT regeneration.
- RIP resin-in- pulp
- Leaching may occur under atmospheric conditions and at temperature below 100 0 C or under high pressure and at high temperature.
- RIP is a three-stage circuit.
- nickel and cobalt are selectively recovered in mechanically stirred or in air-stirred (pachuca) vats.
- Resins suggested for this type of use are those in iminodiacetic and picolylamine groups.
- Contact between resin and pulp occurs in countercurrent, with intermediate sieves between the vats, for the sake of phase separation.
- Effluent resin in the first adsorption vat is withdrawn from the circuit, taken to removal of aggregate solids, and transferred to the elution circuit.
- Elution of resin-loaded metals that can occur selectively and in multiple stages must occur with sulfuric, chloride or nitric acid, at a concentration range of 50g/L - 150g/L approximately.
- Regeneration is the stage wherein the eluted resin is placed in contact with a reagent (such as soda or limestone), to be regenerated and resume calcium or sodium forms.
- a reagent such as soda or limestone
