    Abstract: The refinery of mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) from nickel laterite processing by acidic re-leaching will generate a concentrated nickel solution containing some magnesium difficult to remove. Fluorite precipitation method is often used for nickel purification from magnesium contamination, causing serious risk of environmental pollution. Solvent... Show More

    Abstract: Bioleaching comprises the use of microorganisms for metal-extraction processes from sulphide ores. During these complex processes, sulphides are oxidized to sulphates with the generation of heat. As a result, gold, silver, and other precious metals are liberated from the sulphide matrix, improving their recovery after further processing. A drawback... Show More
