The purpose of MHP agglomeration is the hydro-pyro integration, by which the nickel concentrate (MHP) can be used in ferronickel smelters through pellets with acceptable granulometry to be processed in furnaces. Complete processing route, from lateritic ore to nickel alloy, has advantages obtaining MHP as a nickel intermediate …
The Long Harbour Nickel Processing Plant was built on a partially brownfield site near the port of Long Harbour. The facility consists of a wharf for offloading nickel ore concentrate from bulk carriers, crushing and grinding facilities, a main processing plant approximately 2 km (1.2 mi) south of the port, a pipeline to supply process water ...
BEULAH, N.D. (KFYR) - The Department of Energy has allocated nearly $115 million to fund a nickel processing plant near Beulah. ... Talon has a deal to supply Tesla with the nickel concentrate.

The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major … See more
The traditional high-temperature smelting process of nickel sulfide concentrate has highlighted some problems, such as large loss of valuable metals, reduced economic benefits, and unclean production.
CESL has developed a novel hydrometallurgical process for treating Cu and Ni sulphide concentrates, including bulk concentrates. Both Cu and Ni are leached efficiently into solution, using a proprietary pressure oxidation process, along with other base metals, notably Co. A previous publication has described the Cu recovery from a low grade bulk …
During the smelting process, sulphur and other impurities are removed from the nickel concentrate. Sari Muinonen, Process Technology and Custom Feed Manager, has worked at the Sudbury smelter since 2010. We have a furnace that operates at about 1,380 degrees Celsius. The material gets dropped into the top, falls through and hits the …

• The IGO Process is a valueenhancement refining process designed to treat high- grade nickel sulphide - concentrate (18%-20% nickel) as opposed to a low-grade "whole of ore" laterite feed. • The significantly lower temperatures and pressures used in the IGO Process autoclave have lower risk
Cu, Ni and Co leach extraction from the concentrate was 95%, 95%, and 97%, respectfully. Based on pilot plant metallurgical results, overall metal recoveries are presented in Table 15. Metal recovery from the leach liquor was excellent due to low Ni/Co losses in residue and byproducts, and complete recycle of all solutions.
The process yields high extraction and recovery of nickel, cobalt, and copper from the nickel concentrate, forms a stable environmental residue, and avoids the production of gases and dusts. The production of the mixed hydroxide of high quality is an alternative to smelting, converting, and refining.

After producing the nickel matte, further processing is done via the Sherritt-Gordon process. First, copper is removed by adding hydrogen sulfide, leaving a concentrate of only cobalt and nickel. Then, solvent extraction is used to separate the cobalt and nickel, with the final nickel concentration greater than 99%.
