1. Introduction. Nickel is an important strategic metal produced at over 2 million tonnes annually .Approximately 60% of all Ni is consumed in the production of stainless steel [2,3].Currently, Ni is primarily extracted from two types of ores: laterites
A basic principle of many processes for extracting copper and nickel from sulphide ores is to overlay the molten ore or matte with a lime–silica–iron oxide slag and
The known resources of nickel sulfide ores are quickly diminishing; to satisfy future nickel demands, nickel laterite deposits are now being investigated as an
Nickel sulfide ores can be classified in terms of the rock types with which they are associated and the tectonic setting into which these rocks were emplaced. Certain
sulfide ores. (Nickel sulfide concentrates contain 6–20% nickel and up to 30% sulfur.) SO. 2. releases can be as high as 4 metric tons (t) of sulfur dioxide per metric ton of nickel
13.5 Heap Leaching of Nickel Sulfide Ore. An alternative to intensifying the rate of leaching of concentrates is to heap leach the whole ore. This has the significant advantage of
Froth flotation is widely used for concentration of base metal sulphide minerals in complex ores. One of the major challenges faced by flotation of these ores is
Abstract. This chapter explains the process of nickel concentration from ground sulfide ore, the starting material. This is necessary because mined nickel sulfide

In this work, a twostage sulphuric acid roasting and water leaching system was chosen to extract valuable metals from Chinese lowgrade nickel sulphide ore. By optimizing the twostage roasting process, first roasting temperature at 295°C with particle size of 80–91 μm with an acidore ratio of 1.1:1 for 2 h, and second roasting temperature
ROASTING OF SULFIDE MINERALS In addition to common metals like copper, lead, zinc, and nickel a number of other metals such as antimony, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, and molybdenum occur as sulfide minerals. Sulfides are not reduced with the most widely used reducing agents, carbon and hydrogen, because the
The pressure oxidation of lowgrade nickel sulfide concentrate with high iron sulfides content generates significant amounts of sulfuric acid that must be neutralized. This acid can be utilized to leach metal values from ores such as nickel laterites. The present study demonstrates the use of a lowgrade nickel concentrate generated from
Naturally found in two forms, laterite and sulphide deposits, the majority of nickel currently mined is nickel sulphide, because it is easier and cheaper to process. [Image changes to a pile of manufactured nickel rods and then to a rock of nickel sulphide ore] However, the majority of the world's reserves, around 70%, are laterites.

To meet future demand for nickel, however, there is an increasing proportion of nickel being mined from laterite ores. This leads to an important issue in terms of the environmental costs of nickel as laterite nickel increases, the
Abstract This study concerns the transformed clastic ores (ore diagenites) of the Ishkinino Cobearing massive sulfide deposit hosted by serpentinites of the Main Uralian Fault Zone. The structures and textures of ores are studied, the trace element (TE) contents of sulfides and oxides are determined using laser ablation inductively coupled

With the vigorously growing demand of the steel industry, corrosion resistance alloys, clean energy industries, and a variety of engineered infrastructure or technology, highgrade nickel ores are being exhausted gradually in the world. This review outlines metallurgical processes for nickel production from various nickel sulfide ores
Sulfation roasting, a common activation technique, is a potential method for cleaner production of nickel from complex lowgrade ores. In this study, nickel oxide–sulfide mixed ore concentrate was roasted with the addition of ammonium sulfate under a static air atmosphere, and the roasted products were leached by water, in order to evaluate the
