The name cobalt is derived from "kobald," a German goblin. The term was first applied in the 1500s by miners who, when attempting to smelt ores for copper or nickel, also ended up with a cobalt oxide compound that often volatilized arsenic oxide, thereby adding to the infamy of the ore.
2.2.6 Cobalt from Central African Copper–Cobalt Ores. While most cobalt (~ 50%) is produced as a coproduct from the processing of nickel/cobalt ores, a significant amount of cobalt (~ 35%) is produced from Central African copper–cobalt ores. The remaining ~ 15% is produced from other primary sources, such as Moroccan cobalt–arsenic ores.
Abstract. This chapter describes nickel sulfide ores and provides an overview of the methods used to extract nickel and cobalt from these ores. Nickel sulfide ores occur as disseminated or massive ...
Cobalt Institute members are responsible for the majority of cobalt mining around the world for over 70 % of mined production globally, utilising a variety of techniques including underground and surface mining. Furthermore, various copper and nickel ores are processed by two main methods – hydro-metallurgical and pyrometallurgical.
Fluoride Additives. Na 2 F can contribute to releases of nickel and cobalt from laterite. Ma et al. 69 conducted an activation pretreatment of limonitic laterite ores using Na 2 F and found that Na 2 F increased the Ni and Co extraction from 65.3% and 79.3% to 85.3% and 93.9%, respectively.
This study presents a review of cobalt geometallurgy with an overview of cobalt geology, mineralogy, physical ore properties and mineral processing practices. …
Recovery of Nickel and Cobalt from Three Kinds of Ores. The recovery of nickel, cobalt and iron from three kinds of ores can be seen in Figure 10. It clearly shows that the lowest nickel and cobalt recovery was obtained from NCP ore which is rich in serpentine or magnesium-silicate phase. The highest recovery of nickel and cobalt was …
Between 2021 and 2022 the exports of Nickel ores and concentrates grew by 14.6%, from $4.1B to $4.7B. Trade in Nickel ores and concentrates represent 0.02% of total world trade. Nickel ores and concentrates are a part of Nickel Ore. Exports In 2022 the top exporters of Nickel ores and concentrates were Philippines ($1.29B), New Caledonia ($825M ...

Primary nickel is produced from both lateritic and sulfidic ores. Lateritic ores are formed by prolonged weathering of ultramafic rocks. The laterite deposits exhibit graded layers of ore, with high iron, low nickel ore on top and low iron, high nickel ore below. The...
Nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co) laterite deposits are supergene enrichments of Ni±Co that form from intense chemical and mechanical weathering of ultramafic parent rocks. These regolith deposits typically form within 26 degrees of the equator, although there are a few exceptions. They form in active continental margins and stable cratonic settings. It …
Introduction For many years, the nickel and cobalt were dominantly produced pyrometallurgically from the sulfide ores. The nickel sulfide ores account for approximately 30 % of the global nickel deposits, the rest of the nickel in Earth's crust is contained in laterites – an oxide ores. Nickel production from sulfide ores is reaching a ...
1. Introduction. Nickel and cobalt are essential strategic metals that are widely employed in alloy materials, battery materials, and other industries because of their beneficial properties [1], [2].Nickel resources are broadly classified as nickel sulfide ore and laterite ore, with nickel sulfide ore accounting for only about 30% of total nickel resources.
This study scrutinized Nickel, Cobalt, and Platinum Group Metals from diverse viewpoints, taking into account key factors such as the energy cost of extraction, the limit of recovery (LOR) for each commodity, and the impact of price variation in the mining sector. ...

Flotation of cobalt sulfide ores can be best achieved at acidic pH (~. 4) with xanthate collectors and at pH of about 7.5 for oxide ores with nitrosonaphthol chelating reagents, while their ...
The extent of substitution has a significant impact on the dissolution behavior of laterite minerals. In laterite nickel ores where nickel and cobalt are disseminated in different associated/interlocked minerals, the ore mineralogy type can dramatically impact H 2 SO 4 leachability and consumption rate (Luo et al., 2015). Until recently, Sc, a ...

This paper starts by reviewing the main geo-metallurgical properties of cobalt ores, with a particular focus on ore mineralogy which exerts a significant control over ore processing behaviour...
The production of nickel and cobalt from primary sources involves beneficiation, and hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processing. Nickel is recovered from lateritic oxides either as ferronickel from saprolite ores or as an intermediate mixed sulfide or hydroxides from limonite ores. Sulfide ores are converted into matte.
Biological role. Cobalt is an essential trace element, and forms part of the active site of vitamin B12. The amount we need is very small, and the body contains only about 1 milligram. Cobalt salts can be given to certain animals in small doses to correct mineral deficiencies. In large doses cobalt is carcinogenic.
In this documentary Peter Tom Jones (Director KU Leuven Institute for Sustainable Metals and Minerals) searches for answers to Europe's ambiguous relationship with primary mining of energy-transition metals. The documentary wants to trigger a more-informed debate about the three-pronged strategy of the European Commission in terms of raw materials …
1. Introduction. Nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) are amongst the critically rare metals due to their large industrial usage and vital application in rechargeable batteries [1], [2], [3].The laterite ores are accounted for 70% of Ni reserves worldwide but 60% of the global Ni production is still contributed by the sulfide ores [4], [5].Due to the depletion of …

Cobalt is almost always a by- or co-product of mining for other metals, chiefly nickel and copper or it can be found in cobalt deposits on the sea floor.
Nickel (Ni) is a transition element that exhibits a mixture of ferrous and nonferrous metal properties. It is both siderophile (i.e., associates with iron) and chalcophile (i.e., associates with sulfur). The bulk of the nickel mined comes from two types of ore deposits: magmatic sulfide deposits where the principal ore mineral is pentlandite ...
