Atmospheric Acid Leaching of a Ferruginous Nickel Laterite

Article Preview

Abstract:

A ferruginous nickel laterite was leached by sulfuric acid at atmospheric pressure. Nickel extraction was largely dependent on sulfuric acid concentration and leaching temperature. Besides these two factors, leaching time and liquid/solid ratio also influenced cobalt extraction significantly. Nickel was easier to be extracted than cobalt. About 95% nickel and cobalt could be extracted when leaching with 5mol/L sulfuric acid for 2h at 100°C, and the acid consumption was 1.417kg H2SO4/kg dry ore.
