Nickel plays a critical role in the mining industry. However, the presence of nickel in the primary source of sulfide minerals is decreasing. Focus has since turned to laterite ore, which contains up to 80% Ni metal. The purpose of this study was to optimize nickel leaching using sulfuric acid and conduct a kinetic analysis to discover the …
اقرأ المزيدMore nickel laterite ores are imported into China because of the depletion of domestic nickel sulfide resources. Consequently, it is of great importance to the Chinese economy to effectively utilize low grade nickel laterite ore [7]. Nickel laterite ores are formed by the weathering of olivine bedrock in tropical to sub-tropical climates [8,9].
اقرأ المزيدHowever, in case of nickel recovery from lateritic ores, strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium are the most preferred microorganisms. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans a chemolithotrophic bacterium has been reported to solubilize nickel from lateritic ore by microbial reductive method. Recent study reported about the use of DIRB …
اقرأ المزيدThe processing of magmatic sulfide ores differs from laterites: sulfide ores are crushed in multiple steps to separate the ore minerals from the gangue. At each stage the ore is separated by size, using vibrating screens, as well as magnetic separation of iron-rich pyrrhotite. After crushing, …
اقرأ المزيدThe demand for nickel has been steadily increasing in the 21st century, primarily driven by the rising demand for electric vehicle batteries. Nickel in laterite is associated within silicate in saprolite ore and hydroxide/oxide in limonite ore. Recently, the sulfation–roasting–leaching process has been developed to address the challenges of …
اقرأ المزيدThe effect of microwave treatment on the grinding and flotation performance of a typical copper–nickel sulfide ore was evaluated, based on the determination of its microwave absorption capability, grinding and flotation indexes such as crack percentage, mineral liberation degree, particle size distribution, relative work index (RWI), metal …
اقرأ المزيدIn this study, reduction pre-treatment is conducted prior to the atmospheric leaching of limonitic laterite ore to produce a nickel-cobalt-scandium-rich leach solution and iron-rich magnetic residues. The leaching of pre-treated ore resulted in higher recovery of Ni, Co, and Sc when compared to the yield from the leaching of untreated ore.
اقرأ المزيدNickel is widely used in industrial processes and plays a crucial role in many applications. However, most of the nickel resource mainly exists as nickel oxide in laterite nickel ore with complex composition, resulting in difficulty in upgrading the nickel content using physical separation methods. In this study, high-grade ferronickel concentrates …
اقرأ المزيدThis study aims at studying effect of anaerobic dissimilatory iron (III) reducing bacterial consortium on different phases of iron present in lateritic nickel ore. Such conversion in lateritic nickel ore is helpful in better recovery of sorbed metal values like Ni and Co by subsequent bioleaching or acid leaching.
اقرأ المزيدNickel ore dispersion before flotation using different reagents was investigated on a bench scale to improve metallurgical recovery and selectivity. The nickel ore had a content of 0.8 pct nickel and 14.5 pct MgO. A positive linear correlation between MgO and Ni was found. Carboxy methyl cellulose, both pure and combined with …
اقرأ المزيدNevertheless, when reduction roasting–magnetic separation is used to treat laterite nickel ore with low nickel content, increasing the dosage by approximately 8–20% inevitably reduces equipment life and increases cost (Liu et al.,2021). Therefore, improving the grades and recoveries of iron and nickel is of major significance.
اقرأ المزيدExtracting nickel from sulfide ore generally refers to the process of melting nickel from nickel sulfide ore into low-nickel matte or leaching nickel into solution. Its metallurgical technologies are primarily concerned with pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy.
اقرأ المزيدThese grade and recovery results are considerably higher than the values previously reported in the literature for saprolite ores, and they were attributed to the flotation of the nickel-bearing minerals of serpentine and goethite with hydroxamate collector and the rejection of iron carbonate (siderite) present in this ore sample.
اقرأ المزيدInfluence of MgO content on sulfation roasting leaching process of nickel ore. The recovery of nickel and cobalt from three kinds of ores can be correlated with the content of silica, magnesium oxide and iron in the ores as shown in Figure 16.
