An alternative process of pre-roasting, phosphoric acid leaching followed by solvent extraction of a limonitic laterite ore was described in this work, with emphasis on the solvent extraction of Ni and Co from the phosphoric acid leaching solution by P204 and P507. First, the pH value of the leaching solution was adjusted using ammonia to reduce the content of Al3+ and Fe3+ by precipitation, then the content of Al3+, Fe3+ and Mn2+ were further decreased by extraction using P204. At last, Ni2+ and Co2+ were separated by three-stage extraction using P507. After extraction, the extraction ratio of Co2+ was 96.61%, while that of Ni2+ was 12.32%, and the selective extraction of Ni2+ and Co2+ could be realized.

Laterite Ore

In this paper a novel method for selective leaching nickel from pre-reduced laterite ore at atmospheric pressure was reported. The reduced calcine was leached in thin acid liquor to liberate the nickel and iron together firstly. By properly controlling the leaching condition, the leached iron ion could hydrolyze as goethite precipitate and regenerate the acid consumed in the leaching procedure. Finally, the nickel is selectively extracted into the leaching solution. The main factors in the leaching process, such as reduction degree of the laterite ore, acidity of the leaching solution were investigated as influence on the nickel extraction. The test results showed that selectively leaching of nickel could be achieved with an extraction degree up to 90% by reducing most of the iron in the lateritic ore to wuestite and controlling the pH value of the leaching solution below 2.5.

Overall Efficiency

The sludge wastes generated by the metal plating industries are classified as hazardous wastes because of their high concentration of heavy metals. Amongst the various routes for their treatment, the hydrometallurgical processes are highly attractive because they can be tailored to the wide compositional range of such wastes and assure its metals recovery and/or toxicity reduction. In these processes the leaching operation is paramount to the overall efficiency. In this, the mixing of the leaching solution with sludge has to be effective in order to obtain high levels of metal extraction and make the process attractive. Most of the available data refers to laboratory tests. This paper reports on the use of CFD model to optimize the operation of a pilot size leaching tank. The results regarding the velocity field were compared with experimental data and proved that such techniques can be effectively applied to improve the process. A leaching experiment, with the best configuration for the mixing, yielded a high metal extraction, suggesting that this technique can be successfully implemented for the treatment of such wastes.

Trivalent metal cations are the basic composition of Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs), however, the effect of metal cations on the supercapacitor performance of LDHs prepared from electroplating sludge has not been reported. In the present study the acid leaching solution of electroplating sludge was used as raw material, and Cr, Fe, Al and other common metal cations were added into the precursors to investigate the effect of trivalent metal cations on the supercapacitor performance of LDHs prepared from electroplating sludge. The experimental results show that the three kinds of metal cations can inhibit the specific mass capacitance of LDHs, and the sequence of inhibition effect is Fe < Al < Cr. This experiment is expected to provide some references for the resource utilization of electroplating sludge.

Comprehensive Processing

This paper looks at the pyrochlore-monazite-goethite ores of the Chuktukonsk deposit (0.98wt.% Nb2O5) and their processing with the help of acidbased (HNO3, H2SO4) and sulphatization techniques. Nitric-acid pressure leaching was found to be an efficient processing technique for this type of ore: ore size –0.074 mm; CHNO3 = 25%; CH2O2 = 5%; τ = 2 h; solid-to-liquid = 1:9; heat treatment mode: 1 h at 160 oC followed by 1 h at 230 oC. As a result, rare earth metals and manganese are leached to the solution while all of the contained niobium remains in the cake. Two different techniques were tested to recover niobium from the cake. One is based on the use of alkali (NaOH sintering), the other is an extractive leaching technique that combines acid leaching with liquid-liquid extraction of tributyl phosphate in one stage. It was established that niobium mi nerals can be efficiently decomposed when using a mixture of hydro fluoric and sulphuric acids with the concentrations of 4.08 and 8.46 mol/L, correspon dingly, as a leaching agent. At the weight ratio of 1:2:1 of the solid to aqueous to organic phase and after the slurry has been stirred intensively for 5 minutes, niobium fluorides, which form as a result of interaction between hydrofluoric acid and the cake components, can be recovered with a 50% solution of tributyl phosphate in octane. After that they transfer to an organic phase while impurities get accumulated in the solid residue. As niobium-containing cake has a high concentration of silicon, it is recommended to first remove silicon from the cake using a strong alkaline solution.

The present work reports the direct leaching of zinc from a sphalerite concentrate in acid media. Lab-scale and pilot-scale experiments were conducted in atmospheric-pressure and low-pressure reactors, respectively. Leaching of zinc and precipitation of iron was achieved in the same stage using different reagents like Fe3+, O2, O3, and Fe2+ (which is continuously oxidized in the leaching solution by H2O2 and O2). The highest percentage of zinc extraction (96%) was obtained in pilot-scale experiments using H2SO4, Fe2+, and O2. Experimental results were compared with those of other researchers to provide a better understanding of the factors influencing the dissolution of zinc. In the first instance, it was determined from analysis of variance that leaching time and the use of an oxidant agent (O2 or O3) were the most influential factors during the direct leaching of zinc from the sphalerite concentrate. Kinetic models were also evaluated to determine the rate-limiting step of the sphalerite leaching; it was concluded that the type of the sulfur layer formed in the residue (porous or non-porous) depends on the type of the oxidant used in the leaching media, which determines the dissolution kinetics of zinc.

Utilizing Pakistan chromite as raw material, the rapid leaching of chromium and iron could be realized by the sulfuric acid leaching process on the condition of atmospheric pressure and the addition of oxidant A. And the leaching rate of chromium and iron would be 98.5% and 71.9%, respectively. The sulfuric acid leaching processes with different temperature were systematically studied by chemical analysis and phase analysis. The results showed that, with the increase of reaction temperature, the leaching rate of chromium would increase gradually, but the leaching rate of iron increased at first and then decreases and reached its maximum at 140°C. When the temperature > 160°C, the phases of the leaching residue were magnesium iron silicate and a few of silica, no chromohercynite, chrompicotite and magnesioferrite existed in the chromite. The leaching solution of sulfuric acid leaching process could be used for preparing the basic chrome sulfate, and there is no Cr6+ in the leaching residue and solution. The results would provide theoretical guidance for solving environmental pollution problem of Cr6+ in traditional chromate production process.

The goethite peaks in synchrotron and laboratory X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns of an acid-resistant nickel laterite ore sample from a site in Western Australia exhibit a `super-Lorentzian' shape. The method for extracting the coherently scattering domain size distribution published by Leoni & Scardi [J. Appl. Cryst.(2004),37, 629–634] is adapted to fit the asymmetric goethite peak profiles, allowing the refinement of lattice parameters for multiple goethite structural models while maintaining their relationships. The anisotropic peak broadening due to the acicular shape of the goethite crystals is addressed using spherical harmonics predefined from an XRPD pattern of a synthetic goethite sample. A bimodal coherently scattering domain size distribution of goethite crystals is predicted from the goethite profile fitting and agrees with previous transmission electron microscopy findings that two goethite populations with different domain sizes and metal substitutions exist in the ore sample. The small goethite size fraction dissolved slowly during atmospheric acid leaching, while the large goethite fraction barely dissolved. Caustic pre-treatment by KOH digestion significantly enhanced the acid-leaching performance of the small goethite fraction, but had no effect on the large goethite fraction. This study demonstrates that quantitative phase analysis on designated goethite size fractions can successfully fit the super-Lorentzian shaped line profiles of natural goethite crystals with a confirmed bimodal domain size distribution.
