The invention provides a
nickel slag processing method for efficiently recovering an iron resource. The method includes the steps that
nickel slag is fused, the temperature is kept, a modification agent is added, heat preservation is carried out, and modified
nickel slag with the
alkalinity ranging from 1.0 to 1.4 is obtained after complete reacting is made; air or
oxygen is blown from the bottom or from the top below the liquid face, weak oxidation treatment is carried out on the modified nickel slag, and oxidized nickel slag is obtained; after the temperature of the oxidized nickel slag falls to 1200 DEG C with the temperature
fall rate smaller than or equal to 5 DEG C / min, water
quenching cooling is carried out, and solidified nickel slag is obtained after complete solidification; the solidified nickel slag is crushed and ground until the particle size is smaller than 200 meshes; and
magnetic separation is carried out on slag obtained after cracker
grinding, magnetic materials are recovered, and nickel slag
processing is completed. By means of the
processing method, the iron resource can be recovered from the nickel slag, harmful elements in the nickel slag cannot be brought into iron-rich phases, and an
iron ore concentrate can be completed replaced in use. Low-energy-consumption, low-cost and safe and easy processing
recovery of the iron resource is achieved, and the method is of great significance in promoting nickel slag resource recycling, enterprise energy saving and emission reduction and
environmental protection.
