Abstract

See full text

A method of pressure leaching nickel and cobalt from sulphidic precipitates is provided, wherein such precipitates are leached with chlorine at a controlled redox potential of between 400 and 550 mV (Ag/AgCl), catalysed by copper, and at a temperature of between 120.degree. and 160.degree. C., to dissolve at least 80% of cobalt and to oxidize less than 10% of sulphur to sulphate.
