Abstract:
      Nickel and cobalt were selectively precipitated and enriched from Mn, Mg containing sulfate medium with active magnesium oxide. The results show that the optimum precipitation conditions include twice of theoretical dosage of active magnesium oxide, reaction time of 6 h, and precipitation temperature of 25 ℃. The precipitation rate of nickel and cobalt is 97.96% and 96.43% respectively. The content of nickel, cobalt, manganese and magnesium oxide in precipitate is 8.51%, 13.05%, 2.29%, and 4.97% respectively. The average static-state free settling velocity of slurry is 180 mm/min with the dosage of flocculant AN905 of 0.2 g/m3.
