Details5.2 Laterite Flowsheet Treatment of nickel laterite ores by pressure leaching is in use at several commercial plants including three now in operation in Western Australia. While the pressure leach step is similar in all plants, the processes vary considerably in the treatment of the leach solution.
DetailsAs mentioned above, major reserves of nickel are contained in laterite ores, which have traditionally been treated by pyrometallurgical methods. Hydrometallurgical treatment, by direct acid leaching of the ore at temperatures above 240°C, is however an alternative treatment option for several new projects.

DetailsBlending: The DNi Process™ treats limonite, intermediate and saprolite ores in a single stream with no limit on the blend. This means that all of the laterite ore is used and allows for a lower nickel cut-off grade at the mine because more value is extracted, increasing the size and value of the resource. Drying: The ore is dried to ...

DetailsAn improved method for processing of nickel-bearing ores, laterite ores, saprolite and limonite ores, oxidic and sulfide ores, metallurgical wastes, and other metal-bearing materials, to recover the valuable minerals contained therein, comprising comminuting ore to a desired size; leaching the ore at about 70 C to 130 C for about 30 minutes to 4 hours …
DetailsJun 11, 2022· The specific technological process is to first grind the laterite nickel ore with a ball mill, and then modulate it into a stable concentration of pulp. After preheating, the pulp will undergo a leaching process at a stable sulfuric acid concentration. During leaching process, elements such as nickel, cobalt, iron, and aluminum are leached ...
DetailsThe invention discloses a process for continuously producing nickel hydroxide by using pickle liquor of nickel laterite ore. The process comprises the following steps of: cascade reaction in a 1# reaction kettle and a 2# reaction kettle, ageing in a 1# buffering tank, separation by a and settlement by a settling groove.
DetailsAug 22, 2022· Laterite ore contributes to about 70% of the world's land-based nickel resources. Hydrometallurgical techniques such as heap leaching (HL), atmospheric leaching (AL), high-pressure sulfuric acid leaching (HPAL), Caron process, and direct nickel process (DNi) are the most common processes to treat lateritic ore [ 4 ].
DetailsNov 15, 2022· XRD pattern of low grade laterite nickel ore was shown in Fig. 4a, which shown that the phase of laterite nickel ore was magnesite and silicate, and iron oxide primarily existed in the form of hematite (Fe 2 O 3). Fig. 4b and d shown the SEM of laterite nickel ore, the shape of laterite nickel ore was mostly irregular, uneven size and rough ...

Under optimal conditions, leach recoveries of Ni, Co and Fe were 98%, 93% and 98% ...
DetailsNov 17, 2022· In laterite nickel raw material, iron is the most dominant element in the preparation of laterite ore, which is 80.637%. During the nickel laterite extraction process for the precursor solution, the nickel and the iron element will also be extracted. This will have an undesirable effect and affect the purity of the nickel oxalate precipitate.
