The sulfation roasting leaching method has been developed for the recovery of nickel from laterite ore because it offers greater flexibility, and requires less energy compared to acid leaching and smelting processes. However, the previous studies found that the mineral carriers from saprolite ore affected the recovery of nickel and cobalt. To …
Nickel extraction technology from nickel sulfide ore based on "sulfated roasting–water leaching" can achieve high efficiency and clean extraction of nickel, but how to improve the utilization efficiency of sulfur in sulfated roasting is a bottleneck problem that needs to be solved urgently. (4)
This paper describes the experimental findings of the extraction of nickel and cobalt by high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) of a refractory limonitic nickel laterite ore from the Gördes region of Manisa in Turkey. By optimizing the basic HPAL process parameters: leaching at 255 °C with 0.30 sulfuric acid to ore weight ratio with a particle ...
The nickel laterite ore used was obtained from Halmahera Island, Indonesia. The sample was mineralogically and chemically characterized. ... This work provides an eco-friendly alternative for IRE-ore extraction to solve the environmental issues caused by traditional technology. The results proved feasibility and provided a foundation for in ...
FERRO NICKEL ORE- A recent development in the extraction of nickel laterite ores is a particular grade of tropical deposits, typified by examples at Acoje in the Philippines. This ore is so rich in limonite (generally grading 47% to 59% iron, 0.8 to 1.5% nickel and trace cobalt) that it is essentially similar to low-grade iron ore. Fe –Ni ...
Efficacy of reduction pre-treatment of laterite ore on the extraction of Ni, Co, and Sc was determined by comparing the %recovery obtained between leaching untreated ore and reduced ore (treated at 700 °C for 40 minutes) at 20 wt% solids, 85–90 °C, 360 minutes, and experimental acid consumption of 386.4 kg H 2 SO 4 per ton of ore, as …
A new method of extracting nickel from Australia's low-grade laterite reserves could make millions of tonnes of untapped nickel laterites economically viable. Contact. Share. The …

Where Does Nickel Come From? Nickel is the fifth most abundant element in the Earth, but most of that nickel is located in the core, more than 1,800 miles below the surface.In Earth's crust, two major types of ore deposits supply most of the nickel used today: magmatic sulfide deposits (such as the pentlandite and pyrrhotite deposits found at Norilsk, Russia; …
Nickel extraction technology from nickel sulfide ore based on "sulfated roasting–water leaching" can achieve high efficiency and clean extraction of nickel, but how to improve the utilization efficiency of sulfur in sulfated roasting is a bottleneck problem that needs to be solved urgently.
