Abstract
Description
本发明涉及湿法冶金技术领域,尤其是涉及一种红土镍矿湿法冶金预中和系统及预中和方法。The invention relates to the technical field of hydrometallurgy, and in particular to a laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy pre-neutralization system and a pre-neutralization method.
红土镍矿经过高压酸浸处理,选择性浸出原矿中Ni(镍)和Co(钴)等有价金属,Fe(铁)和Al(铝)等杂质停留在渣相。红土镍矿湿法高压酸浸工艺包括:选矿-高压浸出-预中和-CCD逆流洗涤-1段沉铁铝-2段沉铁铝-1段沉镍钴-2段沉镍钴。预中和后,浆料进入CCD逆流洗涤工序,通过6台串联的浓密机对预中和反应罐中的矿渣依次进行逆流洗涤,最后由CCD逆流洗涤工序的五浓密机底流外排至尾渣压滤,最后进入尾矿库。The laterite nickel ore is treated with high-pressure acid leaching to selectively leach valuable metals such as Ni (nickel) and Co (cobalt) in the original ore, while impurities such as Fe (iron) and Al (aluminum) remain in the slag phase. The wet high-pressure acid leaching process of laterite nickel ore includes: ore dressing-high-pressure leaching-pre-neutralization-CCD countercurrent washing-1 stage iron and aluminum precipitation-2 stage iron and aluminum precipitation-1 stage nickel and cobalt precipitation-2 stage nickel and cobalt precipitation. After pre-neutralization, the slurry enters the CCD countercurrent washing process, and the slag in the pre-neutralization reaction tank is countercurrently washed in turn by 6 series-connected thickeners, and finally discharged from the bottom flow of the five thickeners of the CCD countercurrent washing process to the tailings filter press, and finally enters the tailings pond.
如公开号为CN108913883A的专利文件公开的红土镍矿湿法冶炼生产镍钴氢氧化物的方法,该镍钴氢氧化物的生产中,先加压浸出或常压浸出红土镍矿得到浸出矿浆;再对浸出矿浆进行预中和处理,控制终点pH值为1.1-1.8;再对经过预中和处理的矿浆除铁铝,控制终点pH值为3.5-4.2,过程中通入压缩空气;对除铁铝之后的矿浆进行CCD洗涤后;经过CCD洗涤的溢流进行深度除杂,控制终点pH值为4.8-5.2,过程中通入压缩空气;最后采用石灰乳对经过深度除杂的溢流进行沉淀,得到石膏-氢氧化镍钴混合物,分离石膏-氢氧化镍钴混合物,获得氢氧化镍钴产品。For example, the method for producing nickel-cobalt hydroxide by wet smelting of laterite nickel ore disclosed in the patent document with publication number CN108913883A, in the production of the nickel-cobalt hydroxide, firstly, the laterite nickel ore is leached under pressure or at normal pressure to obtain a leached slurry; then the leached slurry is pre-neutralized to control the end point pH value to be 1.1-1.8; then the pre-neutralized slurry is iron- and aluminum-free to control the end point pH value to be 3.5-4.2, and compressed air is introduced during the process; the slurry after iron- and aluminum-free is CCD washed; the overflow after CCD washing is deeply impurity-free to control the end point pH value to be 4.8-5.2, and compressed air is introduced during the process; finally, the overflow after deep impurity-free is precipitated with lime milk to obtain a gypsum-nickel-cobalt hydroxide mixture, and the gypsum-nickel-cobalt hydroxide mixture is separated to obtain a nickel-cobalt hydroxide product.
虽然现有的红土镍矿湿法冶炼通过预中和处理可实现对高压浸出后浆料pH值的控制,方便实现镍和钴的生产,但由于预中和处理过程中主要通过将二段铁铝渣、二段镍钴渣和石灰乳等中和剂统一填入装有高压浸出浆料的中和池内进行中和,导致加入二段铁铝渣、二段镍钴渣以及石灰乳的量难以得到有效调控,进而使得填入的二段铁铝渣、二段镍钴渣以及石灰乳的容易产生过量或不足,导致红土镍矿湿法冶炼的经济效益降低。 Although the existing laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy can achieve the control of the pH value of the slurry after high-pressure leaching through pre-neutralization treatment, which is convenient for the production of nickel and cobalt, the pre-neutralization treatment process mainly involves uniformly filling the second-stage iron-aluminum slag, the second-stage nickel-cobalt slag, the lime milk and other neutralizing agents into a neutralization tank filled with high-pressure leaching slurry for neutralization, resulting in the difficulty in effectively regulating the amount of the second-stage iron-aluminum slag, the second-stage nickel-cobalt slag and the lime milk added, which makes it easy to produce excessive or insufficient amounts of the second-stage iron-aluminum slag, the second-stage nickel-cobalt slag and the lime milk, resulting in reduced economic benefits of the laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy.

具体地,通过设置沉铁单元10、第一中和单元20和第二中和单元30,沉铁单元10承接高压浸出浆料,通过向沉铁单元10供入元明粉,降低承接的浆料中的铁离子含量,第一中和单元20与沉铁单元10连接,可承接供入的元明粉后的浆料,并可通过供入铁铝渣和镍钴渣,使铁铝渣和镍钴渣与浆料中的酸反应,中和浆料中的酸,同时溶解铁铝渣和镍钴渣中的铁和镍;第二中和单元30与第一中和单元20连接,第一中和单元20可承接供入铁铝渣和镍钴渣后的浆料,并用于通过供入中和剂,中和浆料中的酸,控制单元通过检测第一中和单元20和第二中和单元30内的pH值,可实现对第一中和单元20铁铝渣和镍钴渣,以及对第二中和单元30中和剂的供入量的精确控制,最终实现对浆料中的PH值的精确控制;Specifically, by setting the iron precipitation unit 10, the first neutralization unit 20 and the second neutralization unit 30, the iron precipitation unit 10 receives the high-pressure leaching slurry, and by supplying sodium sulfate to the iron precipitation unit 10, the iron ion content in the received slurry is reduced. The first neutralization unit 20 is connected to the iron precipitation unit 10, and can receive the slurry after the sodium sulfate is supplied, and can supply iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag to make the iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag react with the acid in the slurry, neutralize the acid in the slurry, and dissolve the iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag at the same time. The second neutralization unit 30 is connected to the first neutralization unit 20, and the first neutralization unit 20 can receive the slurry after the iron-aluminum slag and the nickel-cobalt slag are fed, and is used to neutralize the acid in the slurry by feeding the neutralizer. The control unit can accurately control the feeding amount of the iron-aluminum slag and the nickel-cobalt slag in the first neutralization unit 20 and the neutralizer in the second neutralization unit 30 by detecting the pH value in the first neutralization unit 20 and the second neutralization unit 30, and finally realize the accurate control of the pH value in the slurry;
通过沉铁单元10、第一中和单元20和第二中和单元30的单独设置,可根据沉铁单元10、第一中和单元20和第二中和单元30内部浆料与添加的元明粉、铁铝渣和镍钴渣、中和剂的反应情况,同时,通过控制单元对元明粉、铁铝渣和镍钴渣、中和剂的精确控制,使得添加的元明粉、铁铝渣和镍钴渣、中和剂的量处于合适的范围内,进而能够将浆料中的铁离子和镍离子的量得到精确控制,提升红土镍矿湿法冶金的经济效益。Through the separate arrangement of the iron settling unit 10, the first neutralization unit 20 and the second neutralization unit 30, according to the reaction of the slurry inside the iron settling unit 10, the first neutralization unit 20 and the second neutralization unit 30 with the added alum, iron-aluminum slag, nickel-cobalt slag and neutralizer, and at the same time, through the precise control of the alum, iron-aluminum slag, nickel-cobalt slag and neutralizer by the control unit, the amount of the added alum, iron-aluminum slag, nickel-cobalt slag and neutralizer is within a suitable range, thereby being able to accurately control the amount of iron ions and nickel ions in the slurry, thereby improving the economic benefits of laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy.
本实施例中,红土镍矿湿法冶金主要包括选矿-高压浸出-预中和-CCD 逆流洗涤-1段沉铁铝-2段沉铁铝-1段沉镍钴-2段沉镍钴,预中和方法主要用于红土镍矿湿法冶金的高压浸出后的预中和、以及CCD逆流洗涤工艺流程当中,铁铝渣和镍钴渣为2段沉铁铝和2段沉镍钴后产生的2段铁铝渣和2段沉镍钴,矿料通过高压浸出形成浆料后,形成温度在95℃左右的浆料,浆料中含有铁离子和残酸,浆料的铁离子含量在5g/L左右,残酸含量为45-50g/L。In this embodiment, the hydrometallurgy of laterite nickel ore mainly includes ore dressing-high pressure leaching-pre-neutralization-CCD Countercurrent washing - 1 stage iron-aluminum precipitation - 2 stages iron-aluminum precipitation - 1 stage nickel-cobalt precipitation - 2 stages nickel-cobalt precipitation. The pre-neutralization method is mainly used for the pre-neutralization after high-pressure leaching of laterite nickel ore hydrometallurgy, and in the CCD countercurrent washing process. The iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag are 2 stages of iron-aluminum slag and 2 stages of nickel-cobalt precipitation produced after 2 stages of iron-aluminum precipitation and 2 stages of nickel-cobalt precipitation. After the ore is formed into a slurry through high-pressure leaching, a slurry with a temperature of about 95°C is formed. The slurry contains iron ions and residual acid. The iron ion content of the slurry is about 5g/L, and the residual acid content is 45-50g/L.
可以理解的,沉铁单元10、第一中和单元20和第二中和单元30可以为一段或多段槽体组合而成。It can be understood that the iron sinking unit 10, the first neutralization unit 20 and the second neutralization unit 30 can be composed of one or more sections of tank bodies.
本实施例中,沉铁单元10中,控制单元通过控制加入浆料中元明粉的量,使反应后的浆料的铁离子含量小于1g/L。具体地,通过将反应后的浆料的铁离子控制在小于1g/L,既可有效去除浆料中的铁离子,还可有效控制元明粉加入的量,避免元明粉过量。In this embodiment, in the iron precipitation unit 10, the control unit controls the amount of sodium sulfate added to the slurry so that the iron ion content of the slurry after the reaction is less than 1g/L. Specifically, by controlling the iron ions of the slurry after the reaction to be less than 1g/L, the iron ions in the slurry can be effectively removed, and the amount of sodium sulfate added can be effectively controlled to avoid excessive sodium sulfate.
本实施例中,如图1所示,第一中和单元20包括进料设备(图中未标识)、第一反应罐21和第二反应罐22,第一反应罐21与沉铁单元10的出料端连接,进料设备与第一反应罐21连接,用于向第一反应罐21供入铁铝渣和镍钴渣,第二反应罐22的进料端与第一反应罐21连接、第二反应罐的出料端与第二中和单元30连接。In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the first neutralization unit 20 includes a feeding device (not marked in the figure), a first reaction tank 21 and a second reaction tank 22. The first reaction tank 21 is connected to the discharge end of the iron precipitation unit 10, and the feeding device is connected to the first reaction tank 21 for supplying iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag to the first reaction tank 21. The feeding end of the second reaction tank 22 is connected to the first reaction tank 21, and the discharge end of the second reaction tank is connected to the second neutralization unit 30.
具体地,进料设备可为第一反应罐21提供铁铝渣和镍钴渣,第一反应罐21可供铁铝渣和镍钴渣与浆料反应,将铁铝渣和镍钴渣的铁铝镍钴等金属氧化物溶解,形成相应的离子结构,第二反应罐22可承接反应后的浆料,通过第一反应罐21的充分反应和静置,进而可得到反应后较为纯净的浆料。Specifically, the feeding equipment can provide iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag to the first reaction tank 21. The first reaction tank 21 can allow the iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag to react with the slurry, dissolve the metal oxides such as iron, aluminum, nickel and cobalt in the iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag, and form corresponding ion structures. The second reaction tank 22 can receive the slurry after the reaction. Through the sufficient reaction and standing of the first reaction tank 21, a relatively pure slurry after the reaction can be obtained.
本实施例中,进一步地,通过控制通入铁铝渣和镍钴渣的量,使浆料的pH值在0.9~1.1之间。具体地,通过将浆料的pH值控制在0.9~1.1之间,可实现浆料对铁铝渣和镍钴渣的最大效率的溶解,也即,若浆料的pH值高于1.1,则说明铁铝渣和镍钴渣的供入量过多,导致多余的铁铝渣和镍钴渣无法在该酸性条件下有效溶解,若pH值低于0.9,则说明铁铝渣和镍钴渣的供入量不足,浆料的酸度还可以溶解更过的铁铝渣和镍钴渣,进而使得浆料的酸度无法得到充分的利用,且难以实现铁铝渣和镍钴渣对浆料的酸度的充分中和。In this embodiment, further, by controlling the amount of iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag introduced, the pH value of the slurry is made between 0.9 and 1.1. Specifically, by controlling the pH value of the slurry between 0.9 and 1.1, the slurry can dissolve the iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag with the maximum efficiency, that is, if the pH value of the slurry is higher than 1.1, it means that the amount of iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag fed is too much, resulting in the inability of the excess iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag to be effectively dissolved under the acidic conditions, and if the pH value is lower than 0.9, it means that the amount of iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag fed is insufficient, and the acidity of the slurry can still dissolve more iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag, thereby making it impossible to fully utilize the acidity of the slurry, and it is difficult to fully neutralize the acidity of the slurry by the iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag.
本实施例中,控制单元包括第一控制模块和pH监测仪,pH监测仪与第 二反应罐22连接,用于监测第二反应罐22内浆料的pH值,第一控制模块与pH监测仪和进料设备连接,用于通过pH监测仪检测的pH值,控制进料设备供入第一反应罐21的铁铝渣和镍钴渣的量。In this embodiment, the control unit includes a first control module and a pH monitor. The second reaction tank 22 is connected to monitor the pH value of the slurry in the second reaction tank 22, and the first control module is connected to the pH monitor and the feeding equipment to control the amount of iron-aluminum slag and nickel-cobalt slag supplied to the first reaction tank 21 by the feeding equipment according to the pH value detected by the pH monitor.
具体地,pH监测仪通过监测第二反应罐22内浆料的pH值,可有效获取与铁铝渣和镍钴渣反应后的浆料的pH,pH监测仪通过对第二反应罐22内浆料的pH值的检测,以及第一控制模块对进料设备的控制,可实现铁铝渣和镍钴渣添加量的自动控制,减轻人力的同时,能有效精确控制与铁铝渣和镍钴渣反应后的浆料的pH,以及所添加的铁铝渣和镍钴渣的量。Specifically, the pH monitor can effectively obtain the pH of the slurry after the reaction with the iron-aluminum slag and the nickel-cobalt slag by monitoring the pH value of the slurry in the second reaction tank 22.
