Processing Startup for Nickel in New Caledonia
Ferronickel smelter planned at Koniambo in New Caledonia, with commissioning targeted for 2009/2010.
Nickel trade
A nickel-bearing by-product of various industrial processes, nickel-containing residues are materials that would otherwise be discarded but are instead collected for recycling or reprocessing. These residues are often generated during metal extraction and refining processes, such as in the steel-making industry where small amounts of nickel may be present as an impurity. By collecting and processing these residues, it is possible to extract additional nickel, thus reducing the need for freshly mined nickel and mini...
A nickel-bearing by-product of various industrial processes, nickel-containing residues are materials that would otherwise be discarded but are instead collected for recycling or reprocessing.
These residues are often generated during metal extraction and refining processes, such as in the steel-making industry where small amounts of nickel may be present as an impurity. By collecting and processing these residues, it is possible to extract additional nickel, thus reducing the need for freshly mined nickel and minimizing waste.
The recycling and reprocessing of nickel-containing residues contribute to a more circular economy by reducing the demand on primary nickel resources, conserving energy, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions associated with mining and smelting operations.
