Nickel electrolysis process at Outokumpu Harjavalta Metals Oy 奥托昆普哈贾瓦尔塔金属公司镍电解工艺 Abstract This paper deals with the electrolysis of nickel from sulphate solution and its electrochemical principles. As an example, the nickel electrolysis process at Outokumpu Harjavalta Metals Oy is discussed in more detail. The leaching of nickel matte and the purification of the nickel sulphate solution prior to electrolysis is also discussed. In addition, a short review of other hydrometallurgical nickel matte treatment processes and nickel electrolysis technologies is given. 摘要： 本论文主要研究了硫酸镍溶液的电解过程及其电化学原理。作为例子，本论文主要在细节方面讨论了奥托昆普哈贾瓦尔塔金属公司的镍电解过程。同时也讨论了电解过程之前的镍浸出及净化过程。除此之外，其它镍湿法冶金处理过程及电解技术也在文中涉及到。 Outokumpu has produced electrolytic nickel at Harjavaita works since 1960. Nickel is electrowon from a nickel sulphate solution using diaphragm cells where a diaphragm cloth is used to prevent the catholyte solution and the acidic anolyte from mixing. Nickel is deposited on thin nickel starter sheets and the anodes are of unalloyed lead. The current density is 200 A/m2 and the deposition time is seven days. The ready cathodes weigh about 65 kg and they are harvested, washed and cut into squares and strips and finally packed for delivery. Electrolytic nickel is supplied to the electroplating, melting and superalloying industry. 早在1960年开始，奥托昆普便在哈贾瓦尔塔工厂开始生产电解镍。电解镍是从硫酸镍溶液中用隔膜电解槽电解产出的，而隔膜布的作用是防止阴极液和阳极液混合。电镍在很薄的始极片上沉积，而阳极是纯铅阳极。阴极电流密度为200A/m2，阴极周期为7天。达到生产周期的电解镍约65 kg，经出槽、烫洗后剪切成方块和条状，最终包装并发送至客户厂家。电解镍主要用在电镀、熔炼和超耐热合金等领域。 In addition to nickel cathodes, Outokumpu has also been producing nickel briquettes since the last expansion in 1995. The expansion of the nickel production has also brought about several process changes in the smelter and the refinery. The smelter now produces two types of nickel mattes, which are treated in separate leaching plants. After leaching, the nickel solution is treated in a new solvent extraction step to produce a purified nickel sulphate solution for electrolysis and h
