The CSIRO researchers (Elliot et al., 2009, Watling et al., 2011) have examined the composition of 50 nickel laterite ore samples and noted an extreme variability in both their elemental and mineralogical characteristics. Because of the low nickel concentration and variable distribution in these phases, effective upgrading by …
In the silicate ore, the nickel grades vary from 0.42 to 0.47 wt% above 0.15 mm, where 36 wt% of the total nickel are present, while the nickel grades below this fraction increase, varying from 0.60 to 0.68 wt%; the fraction −0.020 mm is responsible for 38 % of total nickel present in the sample.
In anticipation of future demands, a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of nickel-bearing minerals is a prerequisite to devising effective nickel beneficiation methods. Of particular importance are markers in the mineralogy of the flotation concentrate that inform beneficiation strategies to improve …
1. Copper-nickel sulfide ore beneficiation. When the nickel content is more than 3%, it is a rich ore, which can be directly smelted;; When the nickel ore content is less than 3%, it is mainly accompanied by a large amount of metal mineral (pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite)and gangue minerals (olivine, pyroxene, plagioclase, talc, mica, quartz, etc.);
Nickel is a kind of silvery white ferromagnetic metal firstly separated by Swedish mineralogist A.F. Cronstedt in 1751.
