Nickel ore preparation involves a series of processes to prepare the ore for further processing, including crushing, grinding, and classification. These steps help to reduce the ore size, increase the surface area for chemical reactions, and separate the valuable nickel minerals from the gangue (unwanted material). 1. Crushing
Pressure acid leaching has been applied to the Caron process to reduce high-energy consuming phases in direct ore leaching. Direct leaching eliminates the need for drying and reduction steps, which then leads to energy savings (Buyukakinci, 2008).The acceptable nickel content in this method is 1–5% (Dalvi et al., 2004).Also, the crushed ore is …
