limonite ore is the precise control of phase transformation. Although relevant references have reported the reduction roasting of limonite ore in CO or H 2 atmospheres, the impact of dehydroxylation has not been focused on. The dehydroxy-lated characteristics exhibited great dierences owing to the complex mineral composition of limonite ore.

"Over time, saprolite supply to NPI will become an issue, whereas HPAL can have a longer-term future." Saprolite is formed from chemically-weathered rock formations. Saprolite and limonite are two types of laterite ore, the world's main nickel ore source. Both are found in top nickel miner Indonesia. ($1 = 6.4676 yuan)
With the three Japanese ferronickel smelters sourcing their nickel garnierite ore feed from these locations it was relatively easy for the miners to supply the overlying limonite ore to Yabulu. This limonite ore was previously discarded as waste. The Yabulu refinery now receives about 85 per cent of its ore from these two overseas sources. The ...
