Abstract:Nickel (Ni) deposits are depleting, while demand for the metal is increasing. To address this problem, valuable metals such as Ni and Fe can be extracted from secondary sources such as limonite-type laterite ores. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of leaching temperature on Ni and Fe recovery, as well as the best kinetic model to represent the leaching process of these metals. Temperature has a considerable impact on the leaching process of Ni and Fe. Increasing the temperature from 30 to… 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.
