The subject matter of the present invention is the recovery of nickel values from a low-grade complex nickel ore. The extraction process comprises a simultaneous grind-leach of the ore. Commercially significant nickel deposits are of two main types: (i) sulphides which are primary nickel ores or rock materials and (ii) laterites and garnierites ...
Overview. High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) is a process used to extract nickel and cobalt from laterite ore bodies. The HPAL process utilizes elevated temperatures (roughly 255 degrees Celsius), elevated pressures (roughly 50 bar or 725 psi), and sulfuric acid to separate nickel and cobalt from the laterite ore.
The nickel raw solution coming from the leaching plant to cobalt extraction is cooled and washed with kerosene to prevent foreign organic substances from entering the extraction process. Cobalt extraction is carried out in sequential cobalt extraction cells, where the nickel raw solution flows countercurrent to the extraction solution. In ...
A steadily increasing demand for nickel has without doubt raised the importance of the worlds nickel reserves and applied more focus on the techniques used for extraction of nickel from its ores. The Caron Process is one such technique which is effective by reduction of the ore by roasting followed by ammonia leaching of the reduced ores.
Nickel extraction processes involve the separation of nickel from the accompanying impurities and the conversion of nickel into a usable form. There are two primary methods used for nickel extraction: pyrometallurgical …
