With bioleaching a higher cobalt but lower nickel and iron extraction was achieved, i.e. a better selectivity of nickel over iron extraction, as well as a relatively higher pH of the pregnant leach solution requiring less limestone and, consequently, lower CO 2 emission and generation of iron cake waste in case of laterite bioleaching. Overall ...

Nickel in nickeliferous laterite is closely associated with iron oxide and silicate minerals as isomorphous substitution for iron and magnesium in the lattice. Laterites are not amenable to beneficiation by physical methods due to their complex mineralogy (Dalvi et al., 2004, Warner et al., 2006). Thus, for laterite ores treatment ...

Generally, laterite ore deposits can be divided into three different layers from top to bottom, namely, limonite layer, transition layer and saprolite layer [30, 31], as shown in Figs. 1.8 and 1.9. Due to long-term weathering and eluviation, the nickel grade of limonitic laterite ore is the lowest while the iron grade is the highest.
The chemical properties of nickel laterite sample show that during the calcination process, Ni-O, Fe-O, and MgO bonds fracture prior to Si-O bonds [22]. It means that during the reduction of nickel laterite, Ni2+ and Fe2+ are reduced to metallic iron and nickel and Ni-O and Fe-O bonds fracture, which destroys the lattice of hematite.
