· Highpressure acid leaching, or HPAL, is often needed to process laterite ore. For this reason, sulphide production has been favoured among nickel miners, and this type of ore has dominated the market. Nevertheless, as demand for nickel rises, laterite ore has begun gaining popularity. In fact, according to research from Monash University, a "progressive shift to nickel laterite .
The reduction process was carried out to 50 g of pellets at 950 °C, 1050 °C, and 1150 °C for 60 min in a muffle furnace at atmospheric pressure. It continued with a wet magnetic separation process to separate ferronickel (concentrates) and impurities (tailings). Iron and nickel grade analysis was performed using XRF, while phase transformation and microstructure were analyzed with XRD and ...
The processing of laterite ores for nickel and cobalt production is increasing to meet the global demand for these metals. Sulphuric acid is used as a leaching agent, and metals present in the solution may be recovered by many different processes, such as ion exchange. The main problem with nickel limonite layer leach solution is the high concentration of iron, which decreases the efficiency ...
Laterite ores were the major source of early nickel. [5]: 1 Rich laterite deposits in New Caledonia were mined starting the end of the 19th century to produce white metal. [5]: 1 The discovery of sulfide deposits of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, during the early part of the 20th century shifted the focus to sulfides for nickel extraction. [5]: 1 About 70% of the Earth's landbased nickel resources ...
· According to the report, African nickel production will rise in the coming years, with South Africa and Tanzania to benefit the most. At present, most of Africa's nickel mining occurs in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In the latter two countries, nickel is most commonly mined as a byproduct of PGMs. The boom in nickel demand for batteries, and accompanied increase in prices has ...

Introduction – Global nickel laterite production The world's resources of nickel are either sulphides or laterites and while almost ¾ of the world's resources of nickel are found as laterites, until 2009 less than half of the primary nickel production came from laterite sources as illustrated in Fig. (Dalvi et al., 2004). This figure has been updated to 2009 production using data ...
