It is one of the most widely used processes for extracting minerals like nickel from their ore – the natural rock or sediment that contains them.
1. Introduction. Recently, the rapid development of electric vehicles has raised concerns about the availability of the metal resources required for Li-ion batteries, such as iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni) [1], [2].Laterite nickel ore, which accounts for 75 % of the total nickel reserves, has emerged as a primary source for nickel mining in the future [3], [4], …
The nickel laterite in upper layer of the ore deposit, with higher content of iron (Fe) and lower content of silica (SiO 2) and magnesium (Mg) in general, belongs to the limonite type, and usually contains lower nickel of about 1%, but a certain amount of cobalt (Co), while the nickel laterite in lower layer of the ore deposit, with higher content of …

High temperatures and chemical reactions are used to separate the nickel from other elements, resulting in a nickel-rich matte or crude nickel product. Refining : The crude nickel product from …
Low-grade saprolite nickel laterite, characterized by complicated minerals composition and fine-grained and complex dissemination, was commonly treated with a low recovery efficiency of Ni and Fe by conventional methods. Hence, an improved direct reduction and magnetic separation process was proposed. Meanwhile, the mechanisms …
Nevertheless, 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.
ore in China and the higher cost of importing nickel ore, nickel ore with high magnesium concentration has become the main source of raw materials for nickel smelting. A higher MgO concentration increases the slag melting point, weakens the viscous flow characteristics, and makes it more challenging to separate the nickel matte from the …
