SELECTIVE ACID LEACHING OF MIXED HYDROXIDE PRECIPITATE

The present invention relates to a process for selectively leaching nickel from a mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) by contacting the mixed hydroxide precipitate with an acidic leach solution and with peroxymonosulfuric acid to cause at least 75 wt.-% of the nickel to be dissolved in a leachate and...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a process for selectively leaching nickel from a mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) by contacting the mixed hydroxide precipitate with an acidic leach solution and with peroxymonosulfuric acid to cause at least 75 wt.-% of the nickel to be dissolved in a leachate and at least 90 wt.-% of the cobalt to be recovered in a solid phase, based on the total amount of nickel and cobalt, respectively, present in the mixed hydroxide precipitate.
