Past studies [1,2,3,4,5,6] have identified potential synergies between the requirements for acid and heat for leaching of laterite ores and high-temperature oxidation of sulphides, including pyrite, pyrrhotite, low-grade nickel or bulk sulphide concentrates. However, despite this ...
Nickel processing | Extraction & Refining Techniques
Ores Sulfides. Canadian ores are sulfides containing nickel, copper, and iron. The most important nickel mineral is pentlandite, (Ni, Fe) 9 S 8, followed by pyrrhotite, usually ranging from FeS to Fe 7 S 8, in which some of the iron may be replaced by nickel. Chalcopyrite, CuFeS 2, is the dominant copper mineral in these ores, with small …

Processing of Nickel Laterite Ores on the Rise
Traditionally, nickel has been processed from sulfide ores in an approach similar to copper processing, in which the ore is upgraded to concentrates and then smelted. As sulfide ore resources dwindle, however, processing of lateritic nickel ores is becoming of greater necessity, with many recognizing nickel laterite ores as the future of the ...

The Direct Leaching of Nickel Sulfide Flotation …
directly from ore/concentrate. Despite the advantages of hydrometallurgy over traditional base metal sulfide smelting, the hydrometallurgical processing of nickel concentrates has been limited to a small handful of commercial operations, some of which only produce an upgraded intermediate for pyrome-
Hydrometallurgical processing for nickel and cobalt ores, concentrates …
Ideally this technology is best suited for lower grade, highly disseminated nickel-cobalt sulfide ores. Proposed Benefit to WA Economical alternative leach technologies for extraction of nickel and cobalt from waste streams has the potential to unlock upwards of $20 billion dollars' worth of nickel and cobalt to the battery industry.
Copper Concentrates
Copper concentrates are solid mining products transported in bulk. The need for classifications of these materials, for the human health and environmental hazard categories set out in the HME criteria, was assessed following the UN-GHS 4th revision and the ICMM guidance (2013)1 on HME assessment of ores and concentrates.
Direct leach approaches to Platinum Group Metal (PGM) ores …
Mintek (Jones, 2002) has developed and piloted a patented process for the treatment of nickel–copper–PGM sulfide concentrates with high chromite and low sulfur content. The ConRoast process is based on sulfur removal by fluidized-bed roasting, followed by a reductive smelting of the dead-roasted (with low sulfur content) …
