A nickel-wool factory Bay in Cuba pressurized Magnesium acid leaching of nickel laterite ore containing suboxide, is the world's only high-temperature high-pressure direct acid leaching laterite nickel and cobalt extraction plant. The plant adopts advanced technology, compact factory layout, small floor space and clean environment.
The process flow is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Process of the Maawan Bay Nickel Plant in Cuba
The plant treated with nickeliferous laterite Ni Jialuo different plants belonging to the type of limonite ore, if the sulfuric acid leaching solution, it is present in large amounts of iron ore (iron oxide mine containing 68%) at atmospheric pressure and room temperature Easy access to solutions containing nickel and cobalt. However, with the same concentration of sulfuric acid solution, leaching at high temperature and high pressure (246 ° C, 3.6 MPa), only a small amount of iron entered the solution and the leaching rate of nickel and cobalt exceeded 95%. The content of alkaline oxidation in the ore is quite low, and it is not necessary to consume a large amount of sulfuric acid to neutralize the alkaline oxide in the ore.
The amount of pressurized leaching sulfuric acid is 22.5% per ton of dry concentrate. The leaching residue contains 51% iron and can be used as a raw material for iron making. The leachate is sent to a precipitation autoclave (118-121 ° C, pressure 1 MPa), and sulfide precipitates such as nickel, cobalt and copper are precipitated by hydrogen sulfide. A sulphide concentrate containing 55% Ni, 5.9% Co, and 1.0% Cu is produced and sent to a refinery for further refining.
The main equipment structure and process parameters and related material composition and indicators used in the Ma'awan Nickel Plant are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
