About 200 years ago the UK was an important world source of copper and tin and there were mines in Cornwall and Devon These mines have now closed and today the biggest copper mines are in Chile Escondida mine and Indonesia Grasberg mine These produce many millions of tonnes of copper ore per year The main ores of copper are sulfides and
For companies with platinum group sulfide ore with valuable base metals of nickel cobalt etc in their ores TCB can remove the precious metals and companies can then send the processed tailings to the proper refiner TCB allows company representatives to be present during processing at our facility
The main composition of ore in the Jianchaling sulfide nickel deposit includes Ni Cu Co Fe S PGE and so on its high Ni Cu value and lower content of Cu PGE indicate that the formation of the nickel deposit resulted from the evolution of high Mg magma
A typical example of a nickel sulfide plant operating with highly floatable talcose gangue is at Trojan mine in Zimbabwe The Zimbabwean sulfide deposits contain very low grades of nickel 0 6 and copper 0 04–0 4 The easily floatable non sulfide minerals dilute the grade of the concentrate and also result in loss of nickel into the
Nickel sulfide was obtained when the solution was treated with sodium sulfide The filtrate from which nickel sulfide was removed was a solution containing ammonia and xanthate
Based on the study of the villamaninite properties and the existing problems on site the closed circuit test was made by using new flotation flowsheet and reagent regime The nickel grade and recovery of nickel concentrate increased from 7 59 and 82 57 to 9 4
Nickel Laterite Ore Processing Plant Traditionally nickel has been processed from sulfide ores in an approach similar to copper processing in which the ore is upgraded to concentrates and then smelted As sulfide ore resources dwindle however processing of lateritic nickel ores is becoming of greater necessity with many recognizing nickel laterite ores as the future of the nickel industry
