Provided is a hydrometallurgical process of recovering Ni from nickel oxide ore using a high pressure acid leaching, in which abrasion of the facilities caused by an ore slurry is suppressed, the amount of a final neutralized residue is reduced, and impurity components are separated and recovered for recycling. The hydrometallurgical process includes, as steps of the high pressure acid leaching, at least one step selected from step (A): separating and recovering chromite particles in the ore slurry; step (B-1): through leaching step and a solid-liquid separation step, performing neutralization of a leachate obtained after the solid-liquid separation step using a Mg-based alkali such as Mg(OH) 2 ; and step (B-2): through leaching step and a solid-liquid separation step, performing neutralization of a leachate obtained after the solid-liquid separation step using a Mg-based alkali such as Mg(OH) 2 , and then recovering hematite particles. |
