METHOD FOR PRODUCING HIGH-PURITY NICKEL SULFATE

摘要

Provided is a method for producing nickel sulfate yielding high-purity nickel sulfate using a method for removing an impurity element to selectively remove Mg from a solution containing Ni. A process for producing nickel sulfate from an acidic solution containing Ni is characterized in that a solution containing Ni is treated sequentially in steps (1) to (3): (1) a carbonation step for adding a carbonating agent to a solution containing Ni, forming the Ni contained in the Ni-containing solution into a precipitate of nickel carbonate or a mixture comprising nickel carbonate and nickel hydroxide, and producing a carbonated slurry comprising this precipitate and carbonated solution; (2) a solid-liquid separation step for separating the carbonated slurry produced in the carbonation step (1) into the precipitate and carbonated solution; and (3) a neutralization step for adding a neutralizing agent to the carbonated solution separated through the solid-liquid separation step (2), and recovering the Ni contained in the carbonated solution as a precipitate of Ni.
