HYDROMETALLURGICAL PROCESSING OF NICKEL LATERITES- A BRIEF OVERVIEW ON THE USE OF SOLVENT EXTRACTION AND NICKEL/COBALT PROJECT FOR THE SEPARATION AND PURIFICATION OF NICKEL AND COBALT
In this study, a brief overview of the solvent extraction (SX) application for the separationand purification of nickel and cobalt in hydrometallurgical processing of laterite nickel ores ispresented. This paper consists of two parts: firstly, the SX of nickel and cobalt from sulphateleach solutions is described; and secondly, the development of hydrometallurgical plants forthe processing of laterite nickel ores that involve solvent extraction technique is discussed. Themost important extractants are shortly given in the first part of the study. It is seen that theextraction and separation of nickel and cobalt from the impure leach solution of laterite nickelores can be performed by either using a single extractant system that is called as a direct solventextraction (DSX) or a mixture of two or more extractant which is known as a synergistic solventextraction system (SSX). Mixed sulphide precipitation (MSP) and mixed hydroxide precipitation(MHP) processes are mentioned. This paper is also addressed advantage and disadvantages ofeach extraction system. It is shown that capital investment expenditure, operational investmentexpenditure and mineralogical content are the most important factors that can affect the selectionof the appropriate hydrometallurgical process for lateritic nickel ore.
