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 …
A simulation-based approach was used for two nickel sul-fate production processes; the current commercially used smelting-based pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical …
Well-known LIBs are typical rocking-chair batteries that involve shuttling of Li + cations between the cathode and anode during the charge/discharge process. Replacing Li + cations with Cl − anions, that is, designing a chloride-based rocking-chair battery, is an attractive approach to reduce production costs for scaled-up applications. However, …
• Crystallisation is a key step in the processing of battery materials such as nickel sulphate to achieve the desired product purity. • Alpha and beta form of Nickel sulphate …
In the current work, industrial grade lithium chloride has been successfully treated with four simple precipitation steps to obtain a high purity battery grade lithium carbonate of >99.95%. The LiCl starting solutions contained K, Na, Mg, Ca, Cu, Ni, and Fe chloride contaminants and solutions of 2.5 to 10 M were simulated.
