Nickel Laterite Smelting Processes and Some Examples of Recent …

To smelt the ore you collect, you're going to need to create two structures: a Charcoal Kiln and a Smelter. The former can be used to make coal for the Smelter, and the latter is what melts down ...

The RKEF process is a two-stage pyrometallurgical process that involves the calcination and the partial reduction of the saprolite ore in a rotary kiln, followed by high-temperature smelting in an electric arc furnace.26 The final product is a ferronickel alloy containing 20 wt.% to 40 wt.% nickel. It is uneconomic to process laterite ore with ...

In the process of smelting nickel-iron smelting in laterite nickel ore, the smelting process of rotary kiln one-mine furnace is widely used at home and abroad to produce nickel-iron alloy with high nickel content. The complete process of smelting is: raw ore ten dry and large broken one coal blending and flux into rotary kiln thoroughly …

For some low-grade nickel sulfide ore from lean ore regions, for example, a sulfide mine in Shaanxi, China, due to the grade of nickel sulfide raw ore generally between 0.3 and 3.0%, it is necessary to enrich the ore by mineral processing before smelting.

In the recent years, ferronickel has been used as a substitute for electrolytic nickel for alleviating the cost of stainless steel production. Rotary kiln-electric furnace (RKEF) smelting is currently the world-wide mainstreaming process for ferronickel production from nickeliferous laterite ore, in spite of the high power consumption.

PT Gunbuster Nickel Industry (GNI), perusahaan smelter nikel yang didirikan pada 2019 ini turut andil dalam program hilirisasi bijih nikel nasional. Smelter PT GNI di Kabupaten Morowali Utara, Sulawesi Tengah, diresmikan pada 2021 dengan mengedepankan prosedur keselamatan kerja. Komitmen pemerintah untuk menggenjot …

Therefore, the use of the rotary kiln–electric arc furnace (RKEF) process appeared in the introduction of the strategic Udy smelting process, proposed by M.J. Udy and M.C. Udy in 1959, for the treatment of lateritic ores containing nickel and chromium in order to obtain the products of refined steel, chromium iron, and ferro-nickel [2].

The rotary kiln-electric furnace process accounts for two-thirds of the global nickel output. The raw laterite nickel ore contains approximately 1–5 wt.% Cr2O3, but its recovery is limited during smelting. Due to the inefficient utilization, the accumulated Cr-containing slags are potential environmental risks. This work provides positive results …

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.
