Abstract: A method of producing (high-purity) hematite for ironmaking includes adding an oxidant and sulfuric acid to nickel oxide ore and then leaching nickel. The method further includes forming a neutralized residue having a sulfur grade exceeding 1.0% by weight by adding a neutralizing agent to leach slurry and being subjected to solid-liquid separation. The neutralizing agent functions to form plaster by reaction with a free sulfuric acid of surplus acid contained in the leach slurry. The leach slurry is a mixture of a leachate and a leach residue obtained after leaching the nickel. The method then includes heating the neutralized residue at a heating temperature of 600° C. or more and 1400° C. or less to form hematite having a sulfur grade of 1.0% or less by weight.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hydrometallurgical method for nickel oxide ore, wherein the plant can be smoothly started up without imposing a load onto a filter cloth for a separation treatment of zinc sulfide, and the amount of residual zinc in a mother liquor for nickel recovery can be reduced to 1 mg/L. In the plant start-up after the completion of a periodic inspection, a post-neutralization solution is controlled to return to a neutralization reaction tank via circulation piping by adjustment of a switching valve in flow piping without sulfurizing post-neutralization solution. When the flow rate and/or the temperature of the post-neutralization solution circulated reaches a predetermined value, a sulfurization treatment is applied to the post-neutralization solution in the dezincification reaction tank to form zinc-sulfide-containing mother liquor for nickel recovery and adjust the switching valve. Zinc-sulfide-containing mother liquor for nickel recovery is transferred to a filter apparatus via transfer piping.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a nickel and cobalt mixed sulfide that is capable of stabilizing nickel and cobalt concentrations in the sulfidation end solution at low levels and of limiting decreases in nickel and cobalt recovery rates without increasing cost even when processing with a sulfuric acid acidic solution containing nickel and cobalt and a high iron ions concentration as the sulfidation start solution. This method generates a sulfidation reaction by blowing hydrogen sulfide gas into a sulfuric acid acidic solution comprising nickel and cobalt to obtain a mixed sulfide, wherein: the sulfuric acid acidic solution, which is the sulfidation start solution, contains iron ions at a rate of 1.0-4.0 g/L; and the sulfidation reaction is generated by blowing hydrogen sulfide gas into the sulfidation start solution and adding sodium hydrogensulfide (NaHS) obtained by absorbing hydrogen sulfide gas-containing exhaust gas, generated by the sulfidation, in an alkaline solution.
