Valorization of nickel sulphate from asbestos residues.
FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-01
Summary
AMI is preparing to become a producer of metallic magnesium and amorphous silica using residues from the asbestos industry as a resource (the tailings). The tailings also contain magnetite (Fe3O4) and awaruite (FeNi3). AMI wants to recover the nickel from the tailings, which requires industrial research. AMI wants to take advantage of the fact that awaruite is intimately linked to the magnesium silicates in the tailings. Under an appropriate particle size, only magnetite could be removed from the tailings. Lizardite, chrysotile and awaruite will then be leached during an acid treatment. The possible way to recover the nickel in solution without impacting the magnesium is selective precipitation and capture on ion exchange resin.

Description (French)
AMI se prépare à devenir un producteur de magnésium métallique et de silice amorphe en utilisant les résidus de l'industrie de l'amiante comme ressource (les rejets). Ces résidus contiennent également de la magnétite (Fe3O4) et de l'awaruite (FeNi3). AMI veut récupérer le nickel des résidus, ce qui nécessite une recherche industrielle. AMI veut tirer parti du fait que l'awaruite est intimement liée aux silicates de magnésium présents dans les résidus. Sous une taille de particule appropriée, seule la magnétite pourrait être retirée des résidus. La lézardite, le chrysotile et l'awaruite seront ensuite lixiviés lors d'un traitement acide. Le moyen possible de récupérer le nickel en solution sans impacter le magnésium est la précipitation sélective et la capture sur résine échangeuse d'ions.
