The book also includes many operating details for furnaces and other equipment as well as analyses of materials handled. This information must be considered as authoritative since the authors mention that they visited many plants and collected data on site... The book is a welcome addition to the metallurgical library and any one involved in the nickel industry must be aware of this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-- MEIBlog\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A team of specialists from various companies and universities trace the extraction and processing of the three metals from ore in the ground to high-purity metals and chemicals. Nickel, cobalt, and platinum-group metals often occur together, are extracted together, and have similar properties. The topics discussed include smelting laterite concentrates to sulfide matte, extracting nickel and cobalt from sulfide ores, the slow cooling and solidification of converter matte, extracting cobalt from nickel laterite and sulfide ores, and smelting and converting sulfide concentrates containing platinum-group metals.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-- Reference and Research News, October 2012\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThis book describes and explains the methods by which three related ores and recyclables are made into high purity metals and chemicals, for materials processing. It focuses on present day processes and future developments rather than historical processes. Nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals are key elements for materials processing. They occur together in one book because they (i) map together on the periodic table (ii) occur together in many ores and (iii) are natural partners for further materials processing and materials manufacturing. They all are, for example, important catalysts – with platinum group metals being especially important for reducing car and truck emissions. Stainless steels and CoNiFe airplane engine super alloys are examples of practical usage. The product emphasises a sequential, building-block approach to the subject gained through the author’s previous writings (particularly \u003ci\u003eExtractive Metallurgy of Copper in four editions\u003c\/i\u003e) and extensive experience. Due to the multiple metals involved and because each metal originates in several types of ore – e.g. tropical ores and arctic ores this necessitates a multi-contributor work drawing from multiple networks and both engineering and science.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eOverview\u003cbr\u003e Nickel Occurrence, Production, Use and Price\u003cbr\u003e Production of Ferronickel and Nickel from Laterite Ore – Ore Upgrading\u003cbr\u003e Smelting Laterite Concentrates to Ferronickel – Dewatering and Calcination\/Reduction\u003cbr\u003e Smelting Laterite Concentrates to Ferronickel – Electric Furnace Reduction\/Melting\u003cbr\u003e Refining Ferronickel\u003cbr\u003e Smelting Laterite Concentrates to Sulfide Matte\u003cbr\u003e Roasting Ni Matte to Oxide and Metal\u003cbr\u003e Capture of SO2 as Sulfuric Acid\u003cbr\u003e Hydrometallurgy of Laterite ores – Overview and High Temperature Sulfuric Acid Leaching\u003cbr\u003e Solid\/Liquid Separation\u003cbr\u003e Solution Purification and Sulfide Precipitation\u003cbr\u003e Extraction of Nickel from Sulfide ores – Introduction and Concentrate Production\u003cbr\u003e Smelting Sulfide Concentrates – Introduction and Electric Furnace Smelting\u003cbr\u003e Flash Smelting Ni Sulfide Concentrates\u003cbr\u003e Oxidizing Molten Smelting Furnace Matte (Converting)\u003cbr\u003e Separation of Matte into Three Phases\u003cbr\u003e Carbonyl Refining of Impure Ni Metal\u003cbr\u003e Hydrometallurgical Production of High Purity Nickel from Ni Sulfide Intermediates\u003cbr\u003e Co\/Ni Separation and Solution Purification\u003cbr\u003e Electrowinning and H2 Reduction of Nickel and Cobalt\u003cbr\u003e Cobalt Occurrence, Production, Use and Price\u003cbr\u003e Extraction of Cobalt from Sulfide Ores\u003cbr\u003e Extraction of Cobalt from Laterite Ores\u003cbr\u003e Extraction of Cobalt from Central African Co-Cu Ores\u003cbr\u003e Platinum Group Metal Occurrence, Production, Use and Price\u003cbr\u003e Production of Pt Sulfide Concentrates\u003cbr\u003e Smelting Pt Concentrates to Matte\u003cbr\u003e Preparing Pt Refinery Feed from Matte\u003cbr\u003e Pt Group Metal Refining\u003cbr\u003e Recycling of Nickel, Cobalt and Platinum Group Metals.
