On the basis of their importance, global average recycled content (RC) data (Worrell and Reuter, 2014) and their wide range of applications, transition metals can be placed at the top among all the elements.Among various transition metals, cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) are extensively used in metallurgical, chemical, alloy, battery and mining industries (Crundwell et …
Flotation of nickel sulfide ore is a key process in the separation and subsequent utilization of nickel. However, efficient separation of nickel is hindered by the presence of magnesium silicates (typically serpentine) [2] that caused hetero-aggregation and entrainment.
excellent cobalt-nickel separation primary leach liquor by Cyanex 272. However, manganese extraction from the leach liquor along with cobalt could not be avoided, thus increasing the cost of the process. For sulphide ores, there is another alternative; if the ore can be concentrated by flotation, matte smelting is used instead of leaching.
Abstract In this study, magnesia–nickel silicate ore was investigated, which contained 0.83% Ni and antigorite, chlorite, magnetite (Fe3O4), quartz, and mica as the main minerals. Chloride roasting and magnetic separation were used to treat the ore. The addition of red mud enhanced the transformation of nickel silicate to a strongly magnetic mineral mainly …

The selective reduction method at a low-temperature process, which continued with the lateritic nickel ore's magnetic separation process, has been developed [8].Metalization of iron is inhibited, increasing the nickel content in concentrate (magnetic particle) using additives, such as sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, and sodium chloride [9], [10].
ores is through the production of nickel matte after enriching the nickel content of the ore. This is com-monly carried out by magnetic separation, Sotation, or a combinationof both after the ore is comminuted to below 200 m in size. The enrichment depends upon the degree of rejection of the other sulRde and non-sulRde gangue. The maximum grade ...

The process of one-step reduction roasting and magnetic separation was adopted to prepare ferro-nickel alloy from low-grade nickel laterite ore (w(Ni)=1.52%, w(Fe)=14.08%).
The composition of low-grade laterite ore from Yuanjiang, Yunnan, China was tested by chemical analysis. Under 7% of CaF 2 for the adjuvant agent and 8% of anthracite for the reducing agent, the main metal nickel and iron in laterite ore (100 g) can be efficiently recovered after high temperature (1250 °C) reduction. The process is shown in Fig. 1.
In nature, nickel (Ni) mainly exists in sulfide ore and oxide ore. Nickel oxide ore gets its name for it is a kind of laterite ore with high iron content. Nickel laterite, as the main land-based nickel resource, has total resource of 1.26 billion tons with an average nickel content of 1.28%, accounting for 72% of the total nickel resources.

is the high-purity nickel used in electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries. The stainless-steel industry is the primary driver of nickel demand and uses both class 1 and 2 (lower purity) nickel. Class 2 nickel from nickel laterite ores can be con-verted to nickel sulfate; however, it requires high-pressure acid leaching.
