Limonitic ores are typically processed by hydrometallurgical leaching methods in order to avoid the high costs associated with dehydrating, heating and smelting of a large volume of relatively low grade ore. In some cases, limonitic ores may be smelted in a blast furnace to pr oduce nickel pig iron, although this is an energy intensive process,
The mined ores (1–4% Ni) are processed to upgrade the metal content with 10–20% Ni in the concentrates. Thus, the preconcentration of nickel ores is an important unit ... and iron compared to the limonitic ores. The Ni/Co ratio in the smelter feed is generally ~ 40. These ores are smelted to produce either ferronickel or matte.
Some researchers have tried to use high iron-bearing mineral powders (such as iron ore concentrates and limo-nitic laterite ore) as nucleating agents for the growth of ferronickel particles, which can contribute to the recycling of nickel from low-grade nickel laterite [29, 30], but it is difficult to obtain the products with high-grade nickel
— Highlights Nitric acid pressure leaching was used to treat Fe (II)-rich limonitic laterite ores. Ni, Co and Fe can be extracted selectively under milder pressure leaching conditions. Major parameters affecting extractions of target elements were determined. Behavior of iron as well as nickel and cobalt in the leaching process was clarified. A …
Limonite has been used as a low-quality iron ore for thousands of years. Commercial mining of limonite as a source of iron is no longer done in areas where reasonable deposits of hematite and magnetite are present …
— Nickel laterite ore is classified into two principal ore types: saprolite (silicate ore) and limonite (oxide ore). Saprolite-type ore characterized by high magnesia and silica contents is treated by pyrometallurgy process. On the other hand, limonite-type ore is subjected to hydrometallurgy process to produce nickel products. Hydrometallurgy …
A smithing table is a utility block used to alter tools and armor at the cost of a smithing template and the appropriate material, a process that keeps all enchantments. This is the only way to obtain trimmed armor or upgrade diamond equipment with netherite. It also serves as a toolsmith's job site block. Smithing tables can be obtained from a village or …
The fluidity of melt formed in the sintering process of iron ores is an important factor for producing a high-strength sinter. When using a large amount usage of limonitic ores as core ore of the quasi-particle of sinter mix, it is predicted that the fluidity of formed melt decreases, because the solid ratio in the melt increases by an acceleration of the …

— Figure 9.17 shows an example of a flow sheet to upgrade a limonitic ore. The ore is mainly composed of limonite and quartz with a grade of about 40% Fe. ... The higher than usual Fe grade of the tailings is due to the fact that the magnetic susceptibilities of limonitic iron ores are small and some of the fine iron ore particles are too ...
— The typical limonitic ore is commonly processed by high-pressure sulfuric acid leaching (HPAL), discharging a tremendous amount of leach residue which mainly contains hematite and silicates because the iron content of the limonite ore is usually as high as about 40% Fe (Li et al., 2018 b; Ma et al., 2017a).Because of the high capital cost and …
The second principle of ferronickel smelting is that laterite ores cannot be smelted to nickel metal alone, i.e., separately from iron. This is because (1) garnierite concentrates always contain 5–10 times more Fe than Ni and (2) oxygen is only slightly more strongly bonded to Fe than to Ni—i.e., FeO in calcined concentrate is almost as easy to reduce as NiO.
