Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fusion à deux étapes pour la récupération de Ni et de Co à partir de batteries et d'autres sources. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à : - définir un niveau d'oxydation Ox et une charge métallurgique supportant une batterie ; - faire fondre et oxyder la charge métallurgique par injection d'un gaz porteur de O2 dans la matière fondue pour atteindre le niveau d'oxydation défini Ox ; et faire fondre et réduire le laitier obtenu à l'aide d'une source de chaleur et d'un agent réducteur. Le procédé est énergétiquement plus efficace qu'un procédé de fusion réducteur à une seule étape et fournit un alliage de pureté plus élevée et un laitier final plus pur.The present invention relates to a two-stage smelting process for the recovery of Ni and Co from batteries and other sources. The process comprises the steps of: - defining an oxidation level Ox and a metallurgical charge supporting a battery; - melting and oxidizing the metallurgical charge by injecting an O2 carrier gas into the molten material to achieve the defined oxidation level Ox; and melting and reducing the resulting slag using a heat source and a reducing agent. The process is more energy efficient than a single-stage reductive smelting process and provides a higher purity alloy and a purer final slag.
