Abstract:Ni was prepared by the method combining anionexchange membrane with electrolysis using nickel laterite atmospheric acid leaching purifying solution as main raw material. The influences of parameters including the electrolyte composition, temperature, time, current density, pH and other factors on the cathodic current efficiency, recovery rate, energy consumption and cell voltage were explored, respectively. The results indicate that the cathode current efficiency and the energy consumption are 98.47%, 3470 kW·h/t at Ni concentration of 64 g/L, H3BO4 concentration of 40 g/L, H2SO4 concentration of 0.1 mol/L, temperature of 40 ℃, pH of 5.2 and cathode current density of 300 A/m2, respectively,and the purity of this nickel can achieve more than 99.9%, which can meet the industrial requirements.
