The effect of iron precipitation upon nickel losses from synthetic atmospheric nickel laterite leach solutions: Statistical analysis and modelling

Atmospheric acid leaching (AL) of low-grade nickel laterite ores can produce a pregnant leach solution (PLS) containing large amounts of soluble iron. Purification of the leach solution by iron precipitation with an alkaline reagent often causes an associated loss of valuable nickel. In this study,...
