Sep 29, 2017· A generalized flow sheet of the recovery of copper, cobalt, and nickel can be found below, Figure 1. Fig. 1: Generalized Flow Sheet of Copper/Cobalt/Nickel Recovery (Fisher, 2011) When designing processes for cobalt recovery, it is important to analyze and overcome some of the technical challenges that lie ead.
The low recovery amounts at low temperature is due to the low reactivity of slag, while as the temperature increases, the nonmatching of zinc and copper recovery is due to partial hydrolysis of slag till 35°C but increasing the temperature to 70°C seriously decreases zinc recovery due to possible polymerization and hydrolysis.
In order to utilize slag discarded by nickel plants, the selective recovery of nickel and copper versus iron was investigated by selective reduction, which was achieved by controlling the reduction parameters and magnetic separation process on bench scale.
During the pyrometallurgical treatment of the nickelbearing laterite in the plant of LARCO, slag is produced after treatment in electricarc furnace (EAF) that contains to % Ni.
Outotec Slag Cleaning Slag cleaning at copper and nickel smelters is typically done using an electric furnace process. The design of Outotec slag cleaning furnaces is based on our extensive experience with different slag compositions and understanding of how to optimize the process for maximum recovery.
A hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of nickel and cobalt values from a sulfidic flotation concentrate. The process involves forming a slurry of the sulfidic flotation concentrate in an acid solution, and subjecting the slurried flotation concentrate to a chlorine leach at atmospheric pressure followed by an oxidative pressure leach.
streams of some process effluents to prevent a buildup of various impurities. Solid wastes from nickel sulfide ores often contain other metals such as copper, and precious metals, and consideration should be given to further processing for their recovery. Slag can be used as construction material after nickel recovery .
Milled slag as flotation feed showed recoverylimiting features such as free matte with oxidised surfaces and unliberated matte inclusions in the slag. The biggest nickel losses, assuming no tapping problems, are in the glass phase solid solution. Only around 40% of nickel would be recovered from the slag, even under ideal conditions.
Meanwhile, an economically viable extraction process was proposed to preliminarily utilize the nickel slag based on textural and mineralogical characteristics of the slag, and the magnetic concentrate, assaying about 62% iron grade at over 75% recovery rate, was obtained through the recommended method.

Nickel processing, preparation of the metal for use in various products. Although it is best known for its use in coinage, nickel (Ni) has become much more important for its many industrial applications, which owe their importance to a unique combination of properties. Nickel has a relatively high
A New Process for CoNi Separation – ALTA 2010 2 ABSTRACT A new process has been developed jointly by CSIRO and CESL, for separating cobalt from nickel in an impure leach solution. The process uses synergistic solvent extraction (SSX) with commercially available reagents, but in a novel and efficient manner using kinetic factors.
Nickel processing Nickel processing Extraction and refining: 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 differences in equipment are the use of highertemperature refractories and the increased cooling required to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel ...
Nov 14, 2012· During the recovery of base metals from the Bushveld Igneous Complex ores, South Africa, a twostage process is used to ensure complete recovery of nickel from the ore. A nickel flash smelting furnace is initially used to obtain the valuable metal but the loss of nickel in the slag amounts to about 4 % and thus an electric slagcleaning furnace has to be subsequently used to reduce the loss .
Slag/dross and leaching residue are produced from the process of metal extraction. The commonlyseen slag/dross/residue includes copper dross, lead dross, tin slag, zinc leaching residue, antimony/arsenic dross, cadmium residue/cake, sulfur residue/cake, vanadium slag, nickel slag, iron tailing and iron bearing redmud waste.
As the slag is channeled out of the furnace, water is poured over it. This rapid cooling, often from a temperature of around 2,600 °F (1,430 °C), is the start of the granulating process. This process causes several chemical reactions to take place within the slag, and gives the material its .
During the pyrometallurgical treatment of the nickelbearing laterite in the plant of LARCO, slag is produced after treatment in electricarc furnace (EAF) that contains to % Ni. Taking into account the great quantity of slag produced per year, the recovery of nickel from the EAF slag will add benefits to the entire process.
recovery of PGMs and valuable base metals is high, and the recovery of iron to the alloy is still reasonably low. This process is also effective at removing chromium (in this context, a deleterious contaminant) by keeping it dissolved in the slag, and away from the alloy product. Figure 1
method. In addition to the recovery of valuable metals, the slag product of the process, known as Plasmarok®, can be sold for use as an aggregate, owing to its inertness, low leachability and engineering properties. The exhaust gases pass into a secondary combustion chamber to .
Slag/dross and leaching residue are produced from the process of metal extraction. The commonlyseen slag/dross/residue includes copper dross, lead dross, tin slag, zinc leaching residue, antimony/arsenic dross, cadmium residue/cake, sulfur residue/cake, vanadium slag, nickel slag, iron tailing and iron bearing redmud waste.
nickel sulfide ores often contain other metals such as copper and precious metals, and consideration should be given to further processing for their recovery. Slag can be used as construction material after nickel recovery, as appropriate (, re turn of converter slag to .
Nickel is recovered through extractive metallurgy: it is extracted from its ores by conventional roasting and reduction processes that yield a metal of greater than 75% purity. In many stainless steel applications, 75% pure nickel can be used without further purification, depending on .
The method of removal of chromium and/or Nickel from a liquid slag or mixtures thereof, including the supply of liquid slag containing chromium and/or Nickel, in a liquid metal bath, in particular ironcontaining bath, and recovering the liquid slag in two stages, with the first stage of recovery is carried out by introducing carbon or media ...
attention in the utilization of nickel slag. This study involves the selective recovery of nonferrous metals (nickel and copper) versus iron, from nickel slag by selective reduction−magnetic separation process, with an aim to make highgrade nickel and copper concentrate for producing special steel,
For those working in the nickel waste recovery industry, there is an understanding of just how difficult and costly the process can be. The treatment process that allows nickel to be recovered from waste materials includes filtration and then a drying process, before anything can be done with it at all.
