Pyrometallurgical smelting and refining is the dominant method of extracting Ni from sulfide concentrates [14,15]. Prior to refining, the concentrate is smelted in an oxidizing atmosphere to yield a Ni-rich matte while simultaneously oxidizing the iron to iron oxide; the iron oxide is fluxed with silica to form an iron silicate slag that is immiscible …

The technique of low-temperature roasting with ammonium sulfate has been regarded as a promising and cleaner process for direct extraction of valuable metals from low-grade laterite ores (Li et al., 2017), exhibiting many excellent characteristics including high metal recovery, high reaction selectivity, low energy consumption and low cost.The …

Nickel is an important strategic metal produced at over 2 million tonnes annually [1].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 and sulfides [[4], [5], [6], [7]].Although sulfide ores account for a smaller fraction of global Ni reserves, …

Sulfide ores have historically provided most of the nickel production, with laterite ores contributing only a minor contribution (Meshram et al. 2019). However, in terms of known nickel resources ...

of the oxide compounds of nickel into sulfides, but the crystallization of the obtained sulfides into sizes which insure their extraction during flotation. From a number of methods tried for the preparation of nickel oxide ore for flotation, the most successful was the method of preliminary

Lateritic nickel ore is a clay-like ore formed by long-term weathering, leaching and deposition of nickel oxide deposit, containing iron, aluminum, silicon and other water-bearing oxides. Laterite nickel ore is divided into limonite layer, transition layer and humus layer according to the distribution of different ore layers. The smelting process …

Primary world nickel production in 2020 was 2430.7 kt Ni; 69% (1677.7 kt) of them came from oxidized nickel ores (laterites) and 31% from sulfides. Production-wise, 87.7% of the 1677.7 kt came from pyrometallurgical …

The 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 …

Nickel is found primarily in two types of ores namely laterite (oxide) and sulphide ores. The sulfide ⁎ ores are normally associated with mafic and ultramafic ores which are inherently basic and tend to be magnesium rich and are typically mineralised in either a massive sulfide or a disseminated form in these rock types.

Nickel ore refers to the naturally occurring rocks or minerals that contain significant amounts of nickel. Nickel is a chemical element with the symbol Ni and atomic number 28. It is a silvery-white metal with a relatively high melting point and excellent corrosion resistance. Nickel is commonly found in the Earth's crust, but it is typically …

In 2022, the global production of primary nickel totaled 3,300 kt. All nickel ores have relatively low nickel content. Nickel sulfide ores contain nickel as pentlandite, which can be efficiently separated and concentrated using flotation methods.

Nickel ore can be divided into copper sulfide nickel ore and nickel oxide ore. Flotation is the main beneficiation method when processing copper sulfide nickel ore, and magnetic separating and gravity separating are …

The roasting of sulfide ores and concentrates is one of the most important steps in pyrometallurgical metal production from primary raw materials, due to the necessity of excess sulfur removal, present in the material. Pentlandite is one of the main sources for nickel pyrometallurgical production. The knowledge of its reaction …

A new source, New Caledonia in the South Pacific, came into production about 1877 and dominated until the development of the copper-nickel ores of the Copper Cliff–Sudbury, Ontario, region in Canada, which after 1905 became the world's largest source of nickel. By the late 1970s, production in Soviet Russia had exceeded that in Canada. By ...

With the vigorously growing demand of the steel industry, corrosion resistance alloys, clean energy industries, and a variety of engineered infrastructure or technology, high-grade nickel ores are being exhausted gradually in the world. This review outlines metallurgical processes for nickel production from various nickel sulfide ores …

On account of the complex occurrence of valuable metals in a large amount of low-grade nickel sulfide ore, obstacles have been caused by using the existing metallurgical method. Therefore, we are reporting a new selective chlorination roasting and water leaching process to treat complex nickel sulfide ore.
