Abstract[English]
The present invention provides a semi-batch process for the preparation of a nickel or cobalt sulphate solution, whereby sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide are peri- odically fed via a feed section to a reaction zone and whereby an acidic aqueous medium is circulated through the reactor until a predetermined concentration of nickel or cobalt, respectively, in said nickel or cobalt sulphate solution is achieved.[French]
La présente invention concerne un procédé semi-discontinu pour la préparation d'une solution de sulfate de nickel ou de cobalt, l'acide sulfurique et le peroxyde d'hydrogène étant introduits de manière périodique par l'intermédiaire d'une section d'alimentation dans une zone de réaction, et un milieu aqueux acide étant mis en circulation dans le réacteur jusqu'à ce que ladite solution de sulfate de nickel ou de cobalt présente une concentration prédéterminée de nickel ou de cobalt, respectivement.
