With an increasing number of low-grade primary ores starting to be cost-effectively mined,
we are at the verge of mining a myriad of low-grade primary and secondary mineral …

Heap leaching technology is finding increasingly widespread application to recover values
from low-grade ores, especially in the gold and copper industry. The particular attractiveness …

Heap leaching is a well-established extractive metallurgical technology enabling the
economical processing of various kinds of low-grade ores, which could not otherwise be …

The criticality of raw materials has become an important issue in recent years. As the supply
of certain raw materials is essential for technologically-advanced economies, the European …

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 …

The processing of nickel laterite ore to produce ferronickel is energy intensive, especially
when low nickel content ores are processed. The selective reduction–beneficiation of laterite …

NiSO4· 6H2O is an important salt for the battery-making industry. The extraction of nickel
sulfate relies on the hydrometallurgical processing of nickel ores as well as the recycling of …

The emergence of the battery society has resulted in an unprecedented strain on the supply
of battery metals, such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese. Consequently, there is an urgent …

This paper presents a life cycle assessment (LCA) study of three nickel laterite processing
technologies. The main goal was to quantify selected environmental impact categories and …

Socio-economic data on nickel and cobalt show their importance throughout the entire metal
value chain, from mining to end use, disposal and recycling. Thus, the extraction of both …
