Selective Extraction of Cobalt and Copper From Cobalt-Rich Copper

Cobalt, as a key element of LiNixCoyMnzO2 cathode materials, is becoming progressively crucial. The cobalt-rich copper sulfide ores in Africa are one of the most important cobalt resources in the world. However, few literatures aimed at cobalt-rich copper sulfide ores were reported. In this study, the process of activation roasting followed by sulfuric acid …

Cobalt generally does not form the oxy-sulphate intermediate product. Cobalt sulphate, copper sulphate, and copper oxy-sulphates are generally soluble in mild leaching conditions. In the overall sulphation process, some excess oxygen is required in order to shift the reactions towards the formation of the metal sulphates and oxy-sulphates.
