Abstract:The growing demand for nickel metal and the depletion of high-grade sulfide ore reserves have turned the direction of industry towards laterites which are not desirable as the primary source due to their low Ni content and more energy-intensive processing. Thus, alternative routes are essential for effectively processing these ores while reducing the costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Solid-state reduction followed by magnetic separation is an attractive option for recovering the nickel in laterites. Hereby, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
