Ferronickel Slag

This paper provides a technical approach for efficiently recovering Mg from ferronickel slag to produce high-quality magnesium oxide (MgO) by using the sulfuric acid leaching method under atmospheric pressure. The leaching rate of magnesium is 84.97% after a typical one-step acid leaching process, which is because Mg in FNS mainly exists in the forsterite (Mg2SiO4) phase, which is chemically stable. In order to increase the leaching rate, a two-step acid leaching process was proposed in this work, and the overall leaching rate reached up to 95.82% under optimized conditions. The response surface methodology analysis for parameter optimization and Mg leaching rules revealed that temperature was the most critical factor affecting the Mg leaching rate when the sulfuric acid concentration was higher than 2 mol/L, followed by acid leaching time. Furthermore, interactive behavior also existed between the leaching temperature and leaching time. The leaching kinetics of magnesium from FNS followed a shrinkage-nuclear-reaction model with composite control, which were chemically controlled at lower temperatures and diffusion controlled at higher temperatures; the corresponding apparent activation energy was 19.57 kJ/mol. The leachate can be used to obtain spherical-like alkali magnesium carbonate particles with diameters of 5–10 μm at 97.62% purity. By using a further calcination process, the basic magnesium carbonate can be converted into a light magnesium oxide powder with a particle size of 2–5 μm (MgO content 94.85%), which can fulfill first-level quality standards for industrial magnesium oxide in China.

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.

In this paper, the conventional physical separation method such as flotation, gravity separation, magnetic separation, alkaline leaching and sulfuric acid leaching were studied. The effects of grinding fineness, amount of agent, magnetic intensity, roasting temperature, roasting time, the leaching agent and leaching time on the leaching of zinc were investigated, respectively. The results show that the leaching rate of zinc is below 50% in the conventional alkaline leaching, and the leaching rate of zinc is below 85% and the leaching rate of iron is above 35% in sulfuric acid leaching. Compared with XRD pattern of the raw ore, the different diffraction peaks of smithsonite is off in alkaline leaching products. In sulfuric acid leaching, the different diffraction peaks of smithsonite are off in the leaching products when sulfuric acid concentration is less than 60 g/L. After 60 g/L, the different diffraction peaks of smithsonite and siderite are off in the leaching products.

Leaching Process

A new method of altered ilmenite processing has been studied. In this method, sulfuric acid is used as the reaction medium of the process, and fluoride ions are activators of the dissolving process of the rutile part of the ore raw material. The regression model of the sulfate–fluoride leaching process was developed and analyzed by using the response surface method of 23 matrix. The obtained model is adequate and well describes the studied process. The influence of Ti:F molar ratio, temperature, and sulfuric acid concentration on the leaching process are investigated in this work in order to optimize the studied process. It is experimentally proved that leaching at temperatures above 100 °C, at a molar ratio of Ti:F of more than 1:2, and the use of solutions of sulfuric acid with concentrations of more than 85 wt.% is not optimal because the extraction degree of titanium is reduced. The intensification of the process of sulfuric acid leaching by dividing the main stage of chemical dissolution of ilmenite into two stages was proposed. This method allows to leach up to 95.9% of titanium, which is 1.6–1.9 times higher in comparison with the classical technology of leaching altered ilmenite.

In this paper, sulfuric acid leaching was carried out to assess the effect of several parameters on metal extraction in a low grade complex gossan ore in which the grade of zinc and iron is 13% and 40.2%, respectively. Parameters, such as sulfuric acid concentration, liquid to solid ratio and leaching temperature, were studied. The results show that the zinc leaching rate is almost 80%, while the iron leaching rate is about 45% used strong acid with 200g/L. It can be seen from the results that sulfuric acid leaching could not effectively recover zinc from gossan ores studied in this paper because of iron dissolving greatly.

Rare earth element recovery in molten salt electrolysis is approximately between 91 and 93%, whereof 8% is lost in waste molten salt slag. Presently, minimal research has been conducted on the technology for recycling waste rare earth molten salt slag, which is either discarded as industrial garbage or mixed with waste slag into qualified molten salt. The development of a new approach toward the effective treatment of rare earth fluoride molten salt electrolytic slag, which can recycle the remaining rare earth and improve the utilization rate, is essential. Herein, weak magnetic iron separation, sulfuric acid leaching transformation, water leaching, hydrogen fluoride water absorption, and cycle precipitation of rare earth are used to recover rare earth from their fluoride molten salt electrolytic slag, wherein the thermodynamic and kinetic processes of sulfuric acid leaching transformation are emphatically studied. Thermodynamic results show that temperature has a great influence on sulfuric acid leaching. With rising temperature, the equilibrium constant of the reaction gradually increases, and the stable interval of NdF3 decreases, while that of Nd3+ increases, indicating that high temperature is conducive to the sulfuric acid leaching process, whereof the kinetic results reveal that the activation energy E of Nd transformation is 41.57 kJ/mol, which indicates that the sulfuric acid leaching process is controlled by interfacial chemical reaction. According to the Nd transformation rate equation in the sulfuric acid leaching process of rare earth fluoride molten salt electrolytic slag under different particle size conditions, it is determinable that with the decrease of particle size, the reaction rate increases accordingly, while strengthening the leaching kinetic process. According to the equation of Nd transformation rate in the sulfuric acid leaching process under different sulfuric acid concentration conditions, the reaction series of sulfuric acid concentration K = 6.4, which is greater than 1, indicating that increasing sulfuric acid concentration can change the kinetic-control region and strengthen the kinetic process.

In this paper, nickel-containing residue, a typical solid waste produced in the battery production process, was used to study the cavitation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in a liquid–solid reaction. The ultrasonically-enhanced leaching technology for multicomponent and complex nickel-containing residue was studied through systematic ultrasonic-conventional comparative experiments. An ultrasonic leaching kinetics model was established which provided reliable technological guidance and basic theory for the comprehensive utilization of nickel-containing residue. In the study, it was found that ultrasonically-enhanced leaching for 40 min obtained the same result as conventional leaching for 80 min, and the Ni extraction degree reached more than 95%. According to the kinetic fitting of the leaching process, it was found that the sulfuric acid leaching process belonged to the diffusion-controlled model of solid product layers under conventional and ultrasonic conditions, and the activation energy of the reaction was Ea1 = 17.74 kJ/mol and Ea2 = 5.04 kJ/mol, respectively.

In recent years, recovering zinc from zinc calcine with high iron has been a matter of discussion. In this paper, sulfuric acid leaching was carried out to assess the effect of several parameters on zinc and iron extraction in zinc calcine with high iron in which the grade of zinc and iron is 53.90% and 19.38%, respectively. Parameters, such as stirring speed, sulfuric acid concentration, liquid to solid ratio and leaching time, were investigated. The results show that leaching time has done nothing to the leaching rate, but has great influence on leaching efficiency. Liquid to solid ratio and sulfuric acid concentration have significant influence on leaching results, and stirring rate has not obvious influence on leaching results. Under the condition of 120g/L sulfuric acid, 6:1 liquid to solid ratio, 55°C leaching temperature and 120min leaching time, the recovery of zinc and iron is 82.24% and 9.64%, respectively. It is obvious that ZnO in zinc calcine is easy to dissolve in acidity solution, which shown in two aspects: high leaching rate and high leaching speed. ZnO can be dissolved entirely in sufficient sulfuric acid in 10min.

Sulfuric acid-based leaching is a promising cleaner method to produce chromium salts, but its feasibility for treating low Fe(II)-chromite still remains to be proven. A Box–Behnken design (BBD)-based set of experiments for sulfuric acid leaching of low Fe(II)-chromite was utilized in this work for generating an experimental dataset for revealing the functional relationships between the processing parameters and the extraction yields of Cr and Fe. The dependent variables were found to exhibit strong intercorrelations and the models developed on the basis of statistical criteria showed excellent prediction accuracy. The optimum process conditions of leaching treatment were found to be a temperature of 176 °C, a dichromic acid/chromite mass ratio of 0.12, and a sulfuric acid concentration of 81%. Furthermore, the dissolution behavior of chromite in the leaching process and the effect of dichromic acid were experimentally investigated. It was found that the decomposition efficiency was highly dependent on the Fe(II) content of chromite, and that the dichromic acid acted both as an oxidant and a catalyst in the leaching process. On the basis of the results of this study, a novel process for treating low-Fe(II) chromite was proposed.
