Processing of low-grade ultramafic nickel ores: A critical review
Nickel (Ni) is used to fabricate a variety of products, including various alloys- stainless steel being a prominent one, batteries, and catalysts. Global Ni demand is projected to increase by up to 350% by the year 2050 relative to 2017, while the high-grade Ni sulfide ore deposits have largely been depleted. The increasing demand for Ni from emerging markets such as electric vehicles and energy storage requires newer sources of nickel. In addition, the systemic exploration of nickel sulfide ores has led to resources that are more challenging to process due to the higher impurities. The processing complexity necessitates the development of new technologies and pathways to sustainably process globally abundant low-grade Ni sulphide ores. This work systematically reviews and compares various Ni resources in terms of their composition, occurrence, challenges, and opportunities. The conventional processing methods of low-grade ultramafic Ni ore are discussed along with emerging technologies. Key challenges remaining and future perspectives that tie together fundamental and applied research are also provided.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
