Abstract

See full text

A process is disclosed for separating cobalt in the form of cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate from an aqueous solution containing cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate and nickel (II) hexammine sulphate comprising adding ammonium sulphate to provide an effective amount of ammonium sulphate, saturating the solution with an effective amount of ammonia at a temperature whereby the triple salt of cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate, nickel (III) hexammine sulphate and ammonium sulphate is precipitated, recovering the precipitated triple salt from the solution, and repulping the triple salt with an effective amount of water or aqueous ammonia solution to selectively leach nickel (II) hexammine sulphate to produce a crystalline cobalt (III) hexammine sulphate with a cobalt: nickel ratio of at least 100:1.
