A direct hydrometallurgical route for nickel and molybdenum extraction from a nickel-molybdenum (Ni-Mo) ore using pressure acid leaching was studied. The nickel and molybdenum were extracted by acid leaching under oxygen pressure. Compared with traditional roasting methods, this hydrometallurgical method eliminates SO2 and As203 emission (the Ni-Mo ore containing 15%-25% S). Compared with existing alkali leaching recovery of molybdenum process, almost all the nickel and considerable molybdenum were extracted in the acid leaching process. Under oxygen pressure conditions, almost all the nickel and a substantial part of the molybdenum were dissolved into the acid leaching liquor and the other part of the molybdenum was left in the acid leach residue. The acid leach residue was further leached under alkaline (NaOH) conditions. Under optimal experimental conditions, the extraction rates nickel and molybdenum reached 97% and 96%, respectively.
Zinc ferrite is the principal constituent in zinc neutral-leach residue(NLR) which is commonly treated by hot-acid leaching in electrolytic zinc plants. Reductive leaching of zinc ferrite with sphalerite concentrate as a reducing agent was performed. It was found that leaching of zinc ferrite in the presence of sphalerit concentrate was a viable process that effectively extracted zinc and indium and converted Fe^3+ into Fe^2+ at the same time. Reflux leaching tests by two stages were performed to achieve extractions of 98.1% for zinc and 97.5% for indium, and a Fe^2+/Fe^3+ molar ratio of 9.6 in leach solution was also obtained. The leaching behaviors of other elements, such as iron, copper and tin were also studied. The results showed that iron and copper were completely leached, whereas tin presented lower extraction values.
