The two main processing methods for laterite ores are smelting and High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL). Smelting is used primarily on saprolite ores to obtain an iron-nickel alloy (ferronickel – FeNi, Nickel Pig Iron – NPI) while HPAL is used primarily to process limonite or for higher-purity end products.

Challenges in processing nickel laterite ores by flotation
The challenges in processing nickel laterite ores using flotation process were comprehensively reviewed. Literature shows that flotation has not been successful to recover nickel from laterite ores. Nickel in laterite ores is often finely disseminated in various minerals in very fine size. Therefore, fine grinding can be useful to liberate nickel-containing particles.
