Processing Startup for Nickel in New Caledonia
Ferronickel smelter planned at Koniambo in New Caledonia, with commissioning targeted for 2009/2010.
Nickel trade
Nickel sulfides and oxides are intermediate products in the nickel refining process. These compounds contain varying amounts of nickel and are often used to produce pure nickel through further processing. They have various applications including electroplating, where they're used to create a thin layer of nickel on other metals for corrosion protection. Additionally, they serve as catalysts in chemical manufacturing, speeding up reactions without being consumed by them. They also act as precursors for other nickel-...
