The paper deals with the operation of FeNi-Furnaces when smelting high grade FeNi from ores containing more than 20% Iron oxide. Principles of operation have been discussed and compared to the operation of furnaces pro-ducing low grade FeNi in the well known non-selective smelting process. FeNi-SMELTING The Rotary Kiln — Electrical Furnace …

The rotary kiln-electric furnace process accounts for two-thirds of the global nickel output. The raw laterite nickel ore contains approximately 1–5 wt.% Cr2O3, but its recovery is limited during smelting. Due to the inefficient utilization, the accumulated Cr-containing slags are potential environmental risks. This work provides positive results …
