Although nickel extraction is particularly difficult from aqueous solution due to its inability to form the extractable tetragonal nickel(II) tetrachloride complexes in a wide range of LiCl concentrations, extraction from ethylene glycol containing 2.4 mol·L-1 LiCl and glycerol containing 1.6 mol·L-1 LiCl is possible. This is in agreement with the work of …

Nickel sulfide concentrates are critical materials for the production of metallic nickel. The disadvantages associated with the conventional nickel extraction process are the considerable amounts of sulfur dioxide emissions in the smelting process and the complex Ni refining steps to produce a marketable product. The authors proposed a …

To enable their recovery, the acid needed to be extracted until the wastewater pH approached a value of approximately 4, which is considered favorable for their recovery with different extractants [4]. ... Fig. 7 highlights that nickel extraction is favored at lower temperatures, in contrast to the observed behavior for cobalt. Upon …

Nickel and copper production are both currently emissions intensive. For copper, the emissions intensity is about 4.5 kg of CO 2 for every kg produced. Nickel's emissions intensity varies from ~20–80 kg CO 2 per kg of nickel produced, depending on the purity of the final product and the extraction process used.

The pressure oxidation of low-grade nickel sulfide concentrate with high iron sulfides content generates significant amounts of sulfuric acid that must be neutralized. This acid can be utilized to leach metal values from ores such as nickel laterites. The present study demonstrates the use of a low-grade nickel concentrate generated from Poseidon …

The extraction behavior of nickel in ammoniacal sulfate solution using sterically hindered β-diketone (4-ethyl-1-phenyl-1,3-octadione, HA) was investigated systematically by consideration of various parameters, i.e. HA concentration, aqueous pH, total ammonia concentration, ionic strength and temperature. The results indicated that …
