Cobalt processing technology Metal processing technically demanding high purity cobalt and cobalt oxide, complex smelting processes, combined with high energy consumption and pollution problems, are not generally suitable for civil smelting. According to different cobalt refining raw materials, there are mainly the following smelting and recycling processes. 1. Cobalt ore smelting process In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic, cobalt ore was mainly used as a raw material for the preparation of cobalt oxide. The process basically reduces the smelting of cobaltite ore into a cobalt iron by a blast furnace or an electric arc furnace. After annealing or roasting, the cobalt-containing solution is obtained by acid leaching, and then purified to precipitate cobalt potassium nitrite, and then baked and then The industrial cobalt oxide powder is obtained by pulverization. Manufacturers such as Chaozhou Smelter and Zhangzhou Cobalt Smelter have used this process to recover cobalt. No manufacturer has used this raw material to produce cobalt products. 2. Smelting process of cobalt-sulfur concentrate Domestically, cobalt-containing pyrite and pyrrhotite concentrates are known as cobalt-sulfur concentrates and are one of the main raw materials for cobalt refining in China. Nanjing Steel, Huludao Zinc, Hubei, Shandong actinic phosphorus fertilizer plant and plant Zibo Cobalt four manufacturers use this material. The product of Huludao Zinc Plant is No. 2 electro-cobalt, which adopts the method of sulphating roasting → leaching → fatty acid de-ironing copper → sinking cobalt → reducing casting anode → anolyte purification → diaphragm electrolysis, which has been discontinued due to high production cost. Nanjing Steel Plant used oxidizing roasting-sintering slag in medium temperature chlorination roasting process, and Hubei Guanghua Phosphate Fertilizer Plant used oxidizing roasting-sintering sulphate roasting process. However, since cobalt-sulfur concentrates are too low in cobalt, generally less than 0.3%, and the process of recovering cobalt is complicated and generally unprofitable, these plants have stopped production after a period of production. Shandong Zibo Cobalt Plant uses cobalt-sulfur concentrate and cobalt-containing raw materials to produce cobalt sulfide, cobalt oxide, cobalt chloride, cobalt sulfate and other products. 3. Arsenic and cobalt ore smelting process Cangzhou Cobalt Smelter is the only manufacturer in China that uses this raw material. The raw materials are imported from Morocco. The plant uses electric furnace melting → arsenic roasting → two-stage leaching to remove iron and arsenic → Na2S2O3 de-coppering → sinking cobalt → reduction casting anode → purification → diaphragm Electrolytic production of cobalt oxide and electro-cobalt. 4. Smelting process of cobalt extraction in by-products of smelting The cobalt slag produced by the purification of nickel electrolyte is the main raw material. The production process of Gansu Jinchuan Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. is cobalt slag → leaching and iron removal → secondary precipitation of cobalt → reduction of cast anode → anolyte purification → diaphragm electrolysis. With the help of many production, design and scientific research units, the company has determined a new process for cobalt extraction from converter slag based on a large number of experimental studies. The process uses cobalt desulfurization to obtain cobalt sulfur, converter to blow cobalt-rich sulfur, and pressurized oxidation and leaching technology. The leaching rate of nickel, cobalt and copper is high, the reaction speed is fast, the sedimentation performance of the leaching slag is good, and the recovery rate of cobalt smelting is about 50%. Jinchuan Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. uses sulfuric acid dissolution method to recover cobalt from cobalt electrolysis system to purify cobalt slag. The recovery rate of cobalt is over 85%. At the same time, sulfuric acid dissolves cobalt slag and produces pure cobalt oxide powder. 5. Process for extracting cobalt from cobalt-containing scrap The process of secondary cobalt extraction is relatively simple, the raw materials are cheap, and it is not necessary to produce metallic cobalt. Therefore, some domestic manufacturers have begun to use cobalt-containing waste to produce cobalt products. Zhenjiang Smelter uses various cobalt-containing industrial wastes and cobalt-sulfur concentrates to produce various types of cobalt salts. The process is cobalt raw materials→purification and purification→synthesis→all kinds of cobalt salts. Jiangsu Suining Chemical Factory uses the waste materials such as magnetic steel slag and grinding wheel to produce cobalt salt. The process is cobalt raw material → acid solution liquid → iron removal → extraction → crystallization. In addition, the Cangzhou Cobalt Smelter handled the waste catalyst, the Huludao Zinc Plant processed the magnetic steel slag, and the Shanghai and Shenyang smelters treated the superalloy. At present, domestic production of high-purity electrolytic cobalt, cobalt oxide powder and cobalt salt can be produced by various raw materials produced in the mine. The production and processing technology has also been greatly developed. Solvent extraction technology is widely used in wet-process cobalt smelting.
