were obtained by adjusting pH to around 6.6 with sulphuric acid to activate pyrrhotite especially. The sarne effect was obtained by adding about lOOg/T of copper sulphate but this is obviously a more expensive method. Pilot plant testing of this schedule at a pH at 6.6 with acid using a single stage
Temperature plays an important role in the dissolution of nickel from zinc plant residue up to 20 min. On the conditions of 8% (v/v) sulphuric acid concentration and S/L = 0.10, the sample of −250 μm size was leached at different temperatures (25–75 °C). Data on the leaching rate of nickel are shown in Fig. 5.
The results showed that leaching of about 99% of nickel content of the washed tailing could be achieved using 4.0 mol sulfuric acid, pulp density of 1/20 gmL −1 and particle size of −180 +250 mm at 80 °C after 240 min. Kinetic analysis of the leaching data properly followed the shrinking core model, and the dissolution rate of nickel was ...

A number of commercial plants throughout the world have been designed, built, and successfully operated based on pilot plant data generated at Hazen. Processes utilizing HPAL of nickel laterites using sulfuric acid have been piloted at Hazen. These processes involve temperatures up to 250°C at low pH, with the goal of minimizing acid use while ...
The beneficiation process begins with milling, which is followed by flotation for further beneficiation. At the first stage, extracted ores undergo the milling operation to produce uniformly sized particles for crushing, grinding, wet or dry concentration. The type of milling operable in a certain plant is chosen by capital investment and ...
