An investigation of the relationship between Western Australian nickel laterites’ leaching performance and their mineralogical properties
Reasons for the variable acid leaching performance of the nickel laterite ore samples from Western Australia were investigated using numerous microstructural analytical techniques. Cementation of goethite-silica/silicate was identified as the main factor inhibiting acid leaching. Another major outco...
