The present invention is a treatment method for an alloy, the method being used for the purpose of obtaining a solution that contains nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy that contains nickel and/or cobalt and copper. This treatment method for an alloy comprises a leaching step in which the alloy is subjected to a leaching treatment by adding an acid solution to the alloy in the coexistence of a sulfurizing agent, thereby obtaining a leachate and a leaching residue; and in the leaching step, the leaching treatment is carried out while maintaining the copper concentration in the reaction solution within the range of 0.5 g/L to 15 g/L by adding a divalent copper ion source thereto. Moreover, in the leaching step, the leaching treatment is carried out while maintaining the redox potential of the reaction solution at 50 mV or more, using a silver/silver chloride electrode as a reference electrode.
An alloy treatment method for obtaining a solution containing nickel and/or cobalt from an alloy containing nickel and/or cobalt and copper, the method comprising:
