The production of ferronickel concentrate from low-grade nickel laterite ore containing 1.31% nickel (Ni) was studied by the non-melting reduction magnetic separation process. The sodium chloride was used as additive and coal as a reductant. The effects of roasting temperature, roasting duration, reductant dosage, additive dosage, and grinding time on the grade and recovery were investigated. The optimal reduction conditions are a roasting temperature of 1250 °C, roasting duration of 80 min, reductant dosage of 10%, additive dosage of 5%, and a grinding time of 12 min. The grades of nickel and iron are improved from 2.13% and 51.12% to 8.15% and 64.28%, and the recovery of nickel is improved from 75.40% to 97.76%. The research results show that the additive in favor of the phase changes from lizardite phase to forsterite phase. The additive promotes agglomeration and separation of nickel and iron.

Increasing attention is being paid to the self-reduction and magnetic separation of nickel laterite ore because of economic and efficiency advantages. The aggregation and growth of ferronickel particles during the reduction process is an important factor for subsequent magnetic separation. In this study, the effect of CaF2 on ferronickel particle aggregation and growth during the self-reduction of nickel laterite ore was investigated by visual data analysis of ferronickel particles. The recovery and grade of Ni and Fe from the self-reduction, fine grinding, and magnetic separation of nickel laterite ore under the strengthening action of CaF2 were measured. Increasing CaF2 addition yielded a significant increase in the average particle size of ferronickel particles and an increased recovery of a higher grade of Ni. A ferronickel concentrate with 7.1 wt% Ni and 68.5 wt% Fe was obtained at a Ni recovery of 84.14% in the presence of 8 wt% CaF2. CaF2 accelerates the aggregation and growth of ferronickel particles, which promotes the separation of the ferronickel alloy from the gangue in the magnetic separation process.

Nickel and cobalt recovery from a low-grade nickel laterite ore, supplied from Çaldağ deposit (Manisa, Turkey) were investigated by bio and chemical leaching processes. The fungus, Aspergillus niger was used for biocatalytic leaching experiments. The effects of parameters (solid ratio and sucrose concentration) on the biocatalytic leaching of the ore were initially tested in flasks to obtain the optimum conditions for the A. niger. Then chemical leaching was applied as a comparison to bioleaching, using organic acids (citric, oxalic, acetic and gluconic acids) as well as a mixture of acids. According the results, the maximum dissolution yield of nickel, cobalt and iron were detected respectively as 95.3%, 74.3% and 50.0% by biocatalytic processes which containing 25% (w/v) sucrose and 1% (w/v) solids. The increase in the solid ratio adversely influenced the biocatalytic activity of A. niger. Finally, further tests in reactors (v = 1 and 10 L) were performed using the optimum conditions from the flask tests. The difference in metals recovery between biocatalytic and chemical leaching was significantly important. Bioleaching produced higher Ni and Co extractions (34.3–75.6%) than chemical process.
