Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for efficient treatment of latex ores containing metals like gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu). It also includes methods for efficiently producing low-iron materials from these types of metal concentrations by quickly lowering their temperatures during smoking without requiring excessive amounts of energy input compared to traditional processes such as pyrolysis. Additionally, this process helps crush down large particles while minimizing damage caused when they break up too much material before being further processed. Overall, it offers technical benefits over existing technologies including improved cooling efficacy, environmental friendliness, cost savings, increased productivity, and better quality products produced through conventional techniques.

Problems solved by technology

Technics Problem: In order to recover valuable metallurgical products such as pigments made through acid leaching processes like sulfuric acid extraction (SX), molybdenum pyroxide hydride (MoHP) roasting furnace gas purification treatment (FGH). Traditional techniques involve expensive steps involving dry processing, including solvent cooled crude zinc oxides, reducing them into usable forms while minimizing wastewater generation during manufacturing. Additionally, traditional methods are limited because they result in low yields of useful components recovered compared to other sources.

Abstract

The invention provides a laterite-nickel-ore reduction and cooling method. The laterite-nickel-ore reduction and cooling method comprises the following steps that reduced products of laterite nickel ore pass through a vertical cooling furnace and conduct heat exchanging with nitrogen, and the reduced products are cooled; and the reduced products after being cooled are crushed, ore-grinded and magnetic-separated, and high-nickel concentrate is obtained. According to the laterite-nickel-ore reduction and cooling method, when reduction ore of the laterite nickel ore is taken out from a kiln, waste heat can be sufficiently utilized and recycled, water resources are saved, and the environment is protected; and iron grains are promoted to grow up in the cooling process, the ore-grinding cost is reduced, and the nickel recovery rate is improved.
