About 80% of the worlds' reserves for platinum group metals (PGMs) are in South Africa's Bushveld Igneous Complex. Processing of PGM involves comminution, flotation, smelting, converting, base metals refinery and precious metals refinery. Due to increasing chrome content in the feed and the challenges associated with operating high …
Solvent extraction using LIX 622 was used to remove Cu from the pregnant solution. Cementation on Cu was tested for precious metals recovery, while sulfide precipitation was used to produce a Ni-Co product. A conceptual flowsheet for treating the Duluth gabbro concentrate is proposed. 1 Metallurgist. 2Research chemist.

Notes: In 2005, this table was adapted by Dr. Brian J. Myers, Webmaster of ACS Division of Organic Division (DOC) from: Professor Murov's Organic solvent table.The values were obtained from the CRC (87th edition), or Vogel's Practical Organic Chemistry (5th ed.).; Solubilities are in water and are reported as grams solvent/100 grams water.
The separation of nickel and cobalt from a synthetic sulfate solution that contains iron(II) and magnesium via solvent extraction techniques using a neodecanoic acid, Versatic 10, as extractant was explored.
In anticipation of future demands, a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of nickel-bearing minerals is a prerequisite to devising effective nickel beneficiation methods. Of particular importance are markers in the mineralogy of the flotation concentrate that inform beneficiation strategies to improve …
Nickel is then extracted from the raffinate at a pH of 9 by pH adjustment with ammonia. Leach liquor obtained by acid pressure leaching of laterite ores of nickel is also purified by solvent extraction method. Nickel from the purified liquor is electrodeposited on nickel starting cathode using a Pb–Sb alloy anode.
ABSTRACT. The global movement toward the pillars of a circular economy has restructured the entire chain of the primary production sector. Together, increases in the consumption of critical metals and in the price of high-grade mineral raw materials have encouraged the adoption of separation and treatment technologies that are adaptable to …
6. In the extraction of nickel, roasted pentlandite [(NiFe) 4 S 8 ] concentrate is subjected to converting operation. The resulting matte is very slowly cooled from 1100 to 40 0 ∘ C (in 3 days), ground and magnetically separated to obtain a Cu − Ni alloy. Ni 3 S 2 and Cu 2 S are separated by froth flotation. The electrowinning of nickel is carried out with insoluble …
The REFLUX™ Flotation Cell (RFC™) was used to investigate the flotation of a nickel tailings stream containing significant levels of dissolved solids, slow floating nickel minerals, and ultrafine hydrophilic silicates. Slow floating minerals are known to lead to excessive gangue entrainment and low upgrade. The performance of the RFC™ was ...
Froth flotation is widely used for concentration of base metal sulphide minerals in complex ores. One of the major challenges faced by flotation of these ores is the ever varying grade and mineralogy. This therefore calls for a continual characterisation and optimisation of flotation parameters such that concentrator performance as a whole is always …
Nickel and nickel compounds were considered by previous IARC Working Groups, in 1972, 1975, 1979, 1982 and 1987 (IARC, 1973, 1976, 1979, 1982, 1987). Since that time, new data have become available, and these are included in the present monograph and have been taken into consideration in the evaluation.
The effects of configuration of the stirred tank and energy input on the flotation performance of nickel ores were systematically investigated in this paper. Flotation tests revealed that the stirred tanks with two impellers had an advantage over those with one impeller in intensifying agitation pretreatment, and the higher agitation …
Historically, a number of processes have been used commercially for cobalt separation from nickel in liquor, but currently the favoured process is the selective solvent extraction of cobalt away from nickel, using phosphinic acid …
Consequently, the demand for minerals used in the production of batteries for EVs is anticipated to significantly increase. The amount of minerals required for EVs equipped with lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxides (i.e., NCM 622) batteries is 5–6 times higher than that needed for vehicles with internal combustion engines.
The flotation process for the concentration of ores is a method by means of which one or more of the minerals in the ore (usually the valuable ones) are picked up by means of a liquid film and floated at the surface of a mass of fluid pulp. Here they are separated from the other minerals, which remain immersed in the body of the pulp. In …
Nickel sul Rde minerals such as pentlandite can, in general, be separated from their gangue by Sotation using a thiol group of collectors like xanthates and alkyl …
1.1 Co-Presence of Nickel and Cobalt in Nature. The atomic properties of nickel and cobalt are very similar to one another as they are neighbours in the periodic table. In the list of abundance [], nickel ranks as #27 compared to cobalt (ranking as #31).Due to the fundamental similarity, they often coexist in the same minerals, and their …
