1. Introduction. To date, preconcentration of complex, low grade Ni laterite ores poses considerable challenges. In our previous paper (Quast et al., 2015) a review of publically available literature concerning a number of physical separation techniques for the preconcentration of Ni laterite ores that had been tested at laboratory or pilot plant scale, …
The processing methods of laterite nickel ore is mainly divided into two types: pyrometallurgy process and hydrometallurgy process. According to the difference of nickel, cobalt content and ore type, and different working conditions, there are 7 kinds of methods to choose from. This article will introduce you to these 7 laterite nickel ore …

In nature, nickel (Ni) mainly exists in sulfide ore and oxide ore. Nickel oxide ore gets its name for it is a kind of laterite ore with high iron content. Nickel laterite, as the main land-based nickel resource, has total resource of 1.26 billion tons with an average nickel content of 1.28%, accounting for 72% of the total nickel resources.
Nickel is widely used in stainless steel, nickel-based alloy, electroplating, batteries and catalysts. Dalvi et al.
