DetailsVale Base Metals operates the Long Harbour Refinery using a novel hydrometallurgical process** to produce high-purity electrolytic nickel, cobalt, and copper, from the nickel sulphide concentrate produced at the mining operation at Voisey's Bay. The process is based on controlled partial oxidation of sulphide sulphur to sulphate using …
DetailsIt then decomposes, depositing pure nickel onto the nickel spheres. Alternatively, the nickel carbonyl may be decomposed in a smaller chamber at 230 °C to create a fine nickel powder. The resultant carbon monoxide is re-circulated and reused through the process. The highly pure nickel produced by this process is known as "carbonyl nickel".
DetailsIt also tends to form minerals that are closely associated with other metals, like copper and nickel. In fact, almost all cobalt produced today — 98% — is a byproduct of mining and refining ...
