Pressure acid leaching has been applied to the Caron process to reduce high-energy consuming phases in direct ore leaching. Direct leaching eliminates the need for drying and reduction steps, which then leads to energy savings (Buyukakinci, 2008).The acceptable nickel content in this method is 1–5% (Dalvi et al., 2004).Also, the crushed ore is dissolved directly with sulfuric …
Nickel laterite ores account for over 60% of global nickel supply. They are the product of intensive deep weathering of serpentinites under humid tropical conditions. Nickel is concentrated to over 1.0 wt% and is hosted in a variety of secondary oxides, hydrous Mg silicates and smectites. The formation, mineralogy and grade of the deposits are ...

Class 1 is the high-purity nickel used in electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries. The stainless-steel industry is the primary driver of nickel demand and uses both class 1 and 2 (lower purity) nickel. Class 2 nickel from nickel laterite ores can be converted to nickel sulfate; however, it requires high-pressure acid leaching.
Abstract. The magnesium content of laterite ore has a significant impact on the quantity of sulphuric acid required to achieve the target nickel extraction by the high pressure acid leach (HPAL) process, both through direct consumption of acid when magnesium-bearing minerals are dissolved and through "buffering" effects via bisulphate ion equilibria at …

The author reported approximately 80% of nickel recovery after 154 days from an agglomerated mixed ore (50% saprolitic ore, 50% limonitic ore), with acid consumption of 500 kg/t of ore. Petrovski et al. [ 39 ] tested the …
Two broad ore types. Nickel occurs in two broad ore types: laterite (oxide) ores, principally located in tropical and sub-tropical areas, and; sulfide ores, principally located in the temperate to sub-Arctic regions. Major nickel mining locations are depicted in the map – but some of these locations have many operations, and some only one.
The two main processing methods for laterite ores are smelting and High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL). Smelting is used primarily on saprolite ores to obtain an iron-nickel …

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 extracted from its …
However, it is mainly divided into nickel sulfide ore and nickel oxide ore (laterite nickel ore). Nickel sulfide ores Nickel sulfide ores, such as pentlandite and pentlandite, exist in the form of free nickel sulfide, and a considerable part of nickel exists in pyrrhotite in the form of isomorphism. The nickel sulfide ore that exists widely in ...
