Nickel deposits mainly occur in two forms: sulfide and laterite-type ore deposits . Nickel laterite minerals are very complex, yet the ore demand is very high due to India's only source of nickel and cobalt. Chromite overburden is waste heaped at mines and consisting of laterite ore with < 1 wt% of nickel concentration.
the non-melting reduction-magnetic separation process of low-grade nickel laterite ore containing 1.13% of nickel was carried out with sodium chloride as an additive. The selective reduction of nickel is
Nickel is widely used in industrial processes and plays a crucial role in many applications. However, most of the nickel resource mainly exists as nickel oxide in laterite nickel ore with complex composition, resulting in difficulty in upgrading the nickel content using physical separation methods. In this study, high-grade ferronickel concentrates …

Magnetic separation has been used to successfully concentrate nickel in siliceous goethite and saprolite ores (Farrokhpay, Filippov, and Fornasiero 2019; Razi …
Abstract Nickel is mostly extracted from sulfide ores, however, laterite ores account for over 60 pct of all nickel resources in the world, and despite its predominance, there is no well-established process to extract nickel from such ores. Nickel in laterites is hosted in many different compounds such as oxides, hydroxides, and silicates minerals. …
Yang et al. (2013) who examined nickel laterite ore at Koniambo were able to confidently model Ni, Fe, Mg and Si contents using data collected using a field ... (DMS), gravity separation, magnetic ...
A number of physical separation techniques for nickel (Ni) laterites have been investigated at laboratory and pilot plant scale and reported in the open literature. These included sink–float (or dense media) separation, gravity separation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, (roasting) and flotation.
Physical separation techniques including sizing and classification, as well gravity and magnetic separation either individually or in combinations have been employed to upgrade/beneficiate the laterite ore.
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. ... leading to the formation of lateritic nickel ore deposits. ... magnetic surveys, gravity surveys, and induced polarization (IP) surveys. These methods can help ...

In the next few years, some plants using this technology will be operated in ... froth flotation can be combined with gravity and magnetic separation method [17]. The
The main source of nickel has gradually become the recovery of ferronickel concentrate from low-grade laterite nickel ore. In this work, high-grade ferronickel concentrate was prepared by a ...
The low-grade nickel laterite ore used in this study was successfully upgraded through selective reduction by industrialized rotary kilns followed by magnetic separation. The results indicated that both iron metallization extent and nickel metallization extent showed obvious linear correlation. In addition, rational roasting temperature and …
Low-grade saprolite nickel laterite, characterized by complicated minerals composition and fine-grained and complex dissemination, was commonly treated with a low recovery efficiency of Ni and Fe by conventional methods. Hence, an improved direct reduction and magnetic separation process was proposed. Meanwhile, the mechanisms …
The Main beneficiation process of nickel sulfide is flotation, and the subsidiary process is magnetic and gravity separation.
Nickel laterite ore is used to produce nickel metal, predominantly to manufacture stainless steel as well as nickel sulfate, a key ingredient in the batteries that drive electric vehicles. Nickel laterite production is on the rise and surpassing conventional sulfide deposits. The efficiency of mining and processing nickel laterites is defined by …

A number of physical separation techniques for nickel (Ni) laterites have been investigated at laboratory and pilot plant scale and reported in the open literature.
These beneficiation methods include sink-float (or dense media) separation, gravity separation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, (roasting) and flotation [26,27,28,29,30]. For silicon magnesium laterite ore with nickel content less than 1%, beneficiation seems to be of little significance.
