Nickel Ore Mining Process

【Process Description】

Mixing Flotation Process

The mixing flotation process is to separate nickel ore in which copper has lower content than Nickel, the mixed concentrate of copper and nickel will smelt into high grade nickel directly.

Mixing-preferably Flotation Process 

Copper nickel can be get from raw ore, then the copper concentrate with low grade nickel and the nickel concentrate with low grade copper can be separate from the mixing concentrate, the nickel concentrate will be sent into the next stop-smelting, nickel matte can be get then separated.

Mixing-preferably Flotation then Nickel Recovery

When floatability differences happens to the various nickel element of the raw ore, then nickel ore can be recoveried further from tailings after the copper and nickel been mixing flotation.  

Copper- Nickel Ore Flotation Process

When process copper-sulfide nickel ore, collector and frother will be used in order to better results. A basic principle of copper-sulfide nickel ore process is that it is better to let copper assimilate into nickel ore rather than the opposite. For it is easier to recovery cooper from nickel concentrate. The process has a vital advantage-receive copper concentrate with low grade nickel directly.
