Greenhouse gas emissions. The energy and greenhouse gas footprints of the various nickel laterite processing routes in Table 1 and Fig. 2, Fig. 3 range from 167 to 565 GJ/t Ni and 22.4 to 44.8 t CO 2 e/t Ni (without acid plant) and 14.6 to 44.8 t CO 2 e/t Ni (with acid plant) respectively. These results compare with values of 114 GJ/t Ni and 11 ...

Nickel Ore Processing. Nickel ore divides into nickel sulfide ore and nickel oxide ore (laterite nickel ore). The Main beneficiation process of nickel sulfide is flotation, and the subsidiary process is magnetic and gravity separation. Nickel oxide ores usually use pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy to process. Process Consult.

Nickel is widely used in stainless steel, nickel-based alloy, electroplating, batteries and catalysts. Dalvi et al.
