Abstract:

Serpentine coupled with copperas to extract and enrich Mg for CO2 mineralization and Ni recovery from serpentine provides a novel route for processing serpentine and copperas.In order to obtain Mg-rich solution and simultaneously separate Ni from solution,the leaching solution which containing Ni,Fe,Mg was investigated in this study.The impurities were removed by hydrolyzing precipitation,and Ni was separated from Mg by DDTC(C5H10NNaS2?3H2O) complexing.Furthermore,the produced nickel oxide,and the Mg-rich solution were used for CO2 mineralization.The results indicated that this route could efficiently remove Fe and separate Ni.The results showed that the precipitation ratio of Fe reached 97.36%,but the loss ratio of Ni and Mg was low at 30 ℃,pH of 5.0.Besides,the precipitation ratio of Ni was 99.50%,while the loss ratio of Mg was 3.03% at optimal complexation conditions.The complexation mechanism of the complexation was also analyzed.The characteristic functional group of DDTC was—SH.The Ni and Fe existed in the form of Ni[(C2H52NCS2]2,Fe[(C2H52NCS2]3 after complexing,respectively.However,Mg wasn′t complexed.Finally,the carbonation conversion of Mg2+ was 92.63% at 80 ℃.The mass of 227.38 kg CO2 could be sequestrated by per 1000 kg serpentine and simultaneously recover 33.69 kg DDTC-Ni(contain 7.09 kg NiO).
