It is extracted from its ores trough a conventional roasting method which removes the moisture from the ore. Next the nickel oxide is removed by reduction furnace which also greatly reduces the chemical bound water. Resulting in a 75% pure form of nickel. The extraction of nickel from the sulfidic ore requires a different method.

At present, the large cobalt and nickel ores are in the process of clear depletion and the main ores of these two metals are constituted by minor mineral concentrations in ores formed by different metals. This requires the mineral extraction processes to …
1. Introduction. Nickel is an important strategic metal produced at over 2 million tonnes annually [1].Approximately 60% of all Ni is consumed in the production of stainless steel [2, 3].Currently, Ni is primarily extracted from two types of ores: laterites and sulfides [[4], [5], [6], [7]].Although sulfide ores account for a smaller fraction of global Ni …
The conventional nickel smelting and refining is the dominant strategy for nickel production from the sulfide nickel ores. The main disadvantages are the significant amount of SO 2 emissions during smelting and complex refining processes. In this paper, the authors investigated a solid-state nickel extraction method that recovered nickel …
1. Introduction. Nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) are amongst the critically rare metals due to their large industrial usage and vital application in rechargeable batteries [1], [2], [3].The laterite ores are accounted for 70% of Ni reserves worldwide but 60% of the global Ni production is still contributed by the sulfide ores [4], [5].Due to the depletion of …
Instead, the usual ore of aluminum is bauxite - which contains from 50 - 70% of aluminum oxide. Copper is much rarer, but fortunately can be found in high-grade ores (ones containing a high percentage of copper) in particular places. Because copper is a valuable metal, it is also worth extracting it from low-grade ores as well.
In this study, an alternative method for recovering nickel and other valuable metals from nickel laterite ores is proposed and evaluated. The proposed method comprises a leaching step using citric acid to dissolve the nickel and cobalt from Indonesian nickel laterite ores, and subsequently, an oxalate precipitation step to …
