Methods and composition are provided for deriving cement and/or supplementary cementitious materials, such as pozzolans, from one or more non-limestone materials, such as one or more non-limestone rocks and/or minerals. The non-limestone materials, e.g., non-limestone rocks and/or minerals, are processed in a manner that a desired product, e.g., cement and/or supplementary cementitious material, is produced.

Disclosed in the present invention is a method for recovering nickel from iron-aluminum slag obtained by battery powder leaching. The method comprises the following steps: adding a sulfuric acid solution into an iron-aluminum slag to dissolve, so as to obtain a sulfate solution; then adding an oxidizing agent; adding ammonia water and carbonate into the oxidized sulfate solution; adjusting the pH to 1.0-3.2 for reaction; separating ferric hydroxide to precipitate to obtain an iron-removed solution; adding carbonate into the iron-removed solution, adjusting the pH to 3.2-5.5 for reaction; separating aluminum hydroxide to precipitate to obtain an aluminum-removed solution; adding ammonia water to the aluminum-removed solution, adjusting the pH to 7.0-8.8 for reaction; washing and removing impurities to obtain a nickel complex; adding an oxidizing agent to the nickel complex to break the complex, so as to obtain a nickel-containing solution. By means of the present method, efficient separation of iron, aluminum and nickel in the iron-aluminum slag is efficiently achieved, the separation effect of iron, aluminum and nickel is improved, the loss of nickel is reduced, and the recovery rate of nickel is improved.
