  • Patent number: 8916115
    Abstract: A nickel recovery loss reduction method that makes it possible to reduce nickel recovery loss by lowering the concentration of fine floating solid components in overflow liquid in precipitating and separating treatments, and consequently to further reduce a nickel recovery loss, a hydrometallurgical method for nickel oxidized ore to which the nickel recovery loss reduction method is applied, and a sulfurizing treatment system. The present invention is a nickel recovery loss reduction method in a sulfurizing step for blowing hydrogen sulfide gas into a nickel containing sulfuric acid aqueous solution to generate nickel-containing sulfides and a barren liquid, and the nickel-containing sulfides with the average particle size adjusted to a predetermined size or larger are added as seed crystals to the sulfuric acid aqueous solution. It is more preferable to adjust the average particle size of the nickel sulfides to be added as seed crystals to 55 ?m or more.
