WhatsApp: +86 18221755073The paper relates to the laboratory and pilot plant studies that have been carried out by Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd., Metallurgical Research Div., in developing the ammonia pressure leach process for extracting copper, nickel, cobalt, and sulphur from high grade nickel concentrate produced from Lynn Lake ores, and describes in some detail the chemistry of the process.
WhatsApp: +86 18221755073Based on the above considerations, direct treating low nickel matte by non-oxidative leaching using H 2 SO 4 under atmospheric pressure for extracting nickel, cobalt, copper and precious metals may be a choice. In this paper, the low nickel matte is treated directly by hydrometallurgical process instead of converting, which will avoid a large loss of cobalt.
