·The nickel laterite ore from the Southeast Ophiolite Belt Sulawesi Island Indonesia was used in these experiments Nickel laterite ore samples were selected by 5 point sampling method Part of the samples are crushed into fine ore by the Pulverisette 5 type high energy ball milling analyzer with the ball grinding time of 30 min which was
·More nickel laterite ores are imported into China because of the depletion of domestic nickel sulfide resources Consequently it is of great importance to the Chinese economy to effectively utilize low grade nickel laterite ore [7] Nickel laterite ores are formed by the weathering of olivine bedrock in tropical to sub tropical climates [8 9]
·The XRD pattern of the laterite ore is shown in Fig laterite ore is poorly crystalline but a typical limonitic laterite Dalvi et al 2004 which predominantly consists of iron bearing minerals such as goethite [FeO OH ] hematite [α Fe 2 O 3] and chromite [FeCr 2 O 4] The clay mineral kaolinite [Al 4 [Si 4 O 10] OH 8] exists in this

·In recent years the major nickel source of stainless steel has been converted from nickel sulfide ore into nickel laterite ore due to the massive consumption of the former [1 2] In addition limonitic nickel laterite accounts for about 60% of the total nickel laterite resources [] The abundant nickel laterite ore is generally used for ferronickel
·The treatment of laterites has been a research hotspot in extractive metallurgy over the past decades Industrially the pyrometallurgical treatment of laterites is mostly accomplished with a well established method namely the rotary kiln electric arc furnace RKEF process which includes three main operations—calcination
·The QEMSCAN Table 1 shows that ore S is composed of serpentine goethite siderite spinel quartz olivine and clays nontronites and saponite and nickel is mainly associated with serpentine goethite and the other hand ores L and I contain mainly spinel goethite and quartz with less concentration of serpentine olivine
of nickel Approximately 36% of the world s nickel laterite reserves occur as sulphide and 64% occur as oxide Demand for nickel had risen from under 200000tons/year in 1950 to over 1200000tons/year in 20032 3 ; it will reach 1454000tons in 2008 The worldwide output of the stain less steel was over 277000000tons in 2007 and will reach
