Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for enabling recovery of metal element leaching capacity of a deep eutectic solvent used for leaching a metal element from an ore containing the metal element. A method for recycling a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent disclosed here includes: preparing a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent used for leaching a metal element from an ore containing the metal element; and bringing the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent and hydrochloric acid into contact with each other. In the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent, a hydrogen bond donor is a carboxy group-containing compound, and a hydrogen bond acceptor is chloride salt. The amount of use of the hydrochloric acid is such that hydrogen chloride is 1 mole or more with respect to 1 mole of the hydrogen bond acceptor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for recycling a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent, the method comprising: preparing a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent used for leaching a metal element from an ore containing the metal element; and bringing the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent and hydrochloric acid into contact with each other, wherein in the hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent, a hydrogen bond donor is a carboxy group-containing compound, and a hydrogen bond acceptor is chloride salt, and an amount of use of the hydrochloric acid is such that hydrogen chloride is 1 mole or more with respect to 1 mole of the hydrogen bond acceptor. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of use of the hydrochloric acid is such that hydrogen chloride is 2 moles or more with respect to 1 mole of the hydrogen bond acceptor. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen bond donor is fatty acid, and the hydrogen bond acceptor is quaternary ammonium chloride. 4 . A nickel leaching method comprising: obtaining a recycled hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent by the method for recycling a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent according to claim 1 ; and bringing the recycled hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent and a nickel ore into contact with each other.
