Importance of laterite nickel ores are increasing day by day because of their nickel, cobalt and scandium contents. Processing operations of laterite ores generally consist of scrubbing, high pressure acid leaching, solution purification, ion exchange chromatography, solvent extraction, precipitation, etc. Due to the high cost of processing operations; maximum amounts of nickel, cobalt and scandium extraction and recovery are essential. Thus, the use of ion exchange resins is crucial for the recovery of especially scandium from the pregnant leach solution (PLS) of lateritic nickel ores. The objective of this study was determining the loading behaviours of Nickel (Ni2+), Cobalt (Co3+) and Scandium (Sc3+) as a rare earth element on different resins from a pregnant leach solution which contained Nickel (Ni2+), Cobalt (Co2+), Scandium (Sc3+), Manganese (Mn2+), Ferric Iron (Fe3+), Silica (Si4+) and Aluminium (Al3+). Through ion exchange chromatography, the selective loading of scandium, nickel and cobalt on ion exchange resins was targeted.

Solvent extraction behaviour of scandium from lateritic nickel-cobalt ores using different organic reagents Ferizoglu, Ece; Kaya, Serap; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (2018-04-01) Scandium is one of the most important and strategic metals that can be recovered as a by-product from lateritic nickel-cobalt ores. In this research, different extractants were investigated to extract scandium from sulphate medium by using solvent extraction method. Generally, the organic extractants are classified as acidic, neutral and basic reagents. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare scandium extraction efficiencies of some acidic, neutral and basic organic reagents. For this reason, Ionq...
Extraction of nickel and cobalt from lateritic ores by nitric acid / Saka, Onur; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2014) This thesis study is related to the extraction kinetics of nickel and cobalt from lateritic nickel ores from Gördes/Manisa region of Turkey. The experimental studies involved the optimization of nitric acid leaching of nickel laterite ores at atmospheric pressure for high nickel and cobalt extraction. The main parameters optimized after the characterization of laterites were the nitric acid concentration, leaching temperature, duration of leaching and the particle size of the ore sample. The atmospheric lea...
Influence of mineralogical characteristics on rheological behavior of tailings slurries Aktaş, Berke Beste; Altun, Naci Emre; Department of Mining Engineering (2022-8) The gradual depletion of high-grade ores force mining operations to process ores to finer particles to extract valuable minerals. With the increased amount of fine particles and, in some cases, high clay mineral content presence, complex rheological behaviors in phases including suspensions, such as high viscosity and high yield stress have been observed, causing a decrease in the performance of certain mineral processing operations. Through the study, rheological characteristics of ore tailings slurries wi...
Use of waste pyrite from mineral processing plants in soil remediation Aydın, Gülşen; Arol, Ali İhsan; Department of Mining Engineering (2011) Pyrite (FeS2) is commonly present in complex sulphide ores in significant amounts. After the enrichment of such ores by flotation, pyrite is either produced as a separate concentrate and sold to acid manufactures or removed and disposed off as tailing. Due to lack of demand from manufacturers, most of pyrites is usually disposed off as tailing. Therefore, pyrite is usually a waste from complex sulphide ores. Yet, it may be a remediation additive for calcareous soils and calcareous- alkali soils deficient in...
Nickel extraction from Gördes laterites by hydrochloric acid leaching Göveli, Ahmet; Atalay, M Ümit; Department of Mining Engineering (2006) Leaching is the most widely used process for extraction of nickel metal from lateritic ores. In this study, nickel extraction from Manisa-Gördes region laterites by hydrochloric acid leaching is aimed. The mineralogical analysis of sample showed that hematite, goethite, dolomite, quartz and smectite are the main minerals in the ore. Attrition scrubbing, cycloning and magnetic separation with permroll were used as preconcentration processes but results were unsatisfactory. HCl leaching experiments were condu...
