ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for recovering nickel from high magnesium-containing lateritic ores which also contain iron. The ores which are referred to as saprolitic ores are subjected to leaching with a mineral acid from the group consisting of HCl, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and HNO.sub.3, HCl being preferred.
Following leaching with HCl, for example, the pregnant solution obtained is separated from undissolved solids and the nickel preferably recovered by contacting the solution with a resin selective to nickel absorption. The raffinate remaining which contains iron and magnesium chlorides may be subjected to pyro-hydrolysis to produce their respective oxides and free HCl for recycle into the leaching system. The nickel is extracted from the resin using a stripping solution of said acid, and the nickel thereafter extracted from the nickel-loaded stripping solution.
