Nickel Mining Like its 1864 – Ahead of The Herd. About 9% is used in plating to slow down corrosion and 6% for other uses, including coins, electronics, in *batteries for portable equipment and hybrid cars, as a alyst for certain chemical reactions and as a colorant – nickel .
Barium: used in the front panel of the hode ray tube (CRT) in television screens to protect users from radiation. Beryllium: used in electrical and electronic equipment as copperberyllium alloys to make springs, relays and connections, and in computer motherboards. Cadmium: used in contacts and switches, in electroplating, and in rechargeable nickelcadmium batteries used in many laptop ...
Cobalt is the key ingredient in rechargeable batteries. Platinum group of metals is largely used in the automobile industry. The purpose of this book is to describe how these metals are produced from the ores that are mined. Nickel is mined from two types of ores, laterites and sulfides which are given in a detailed flow chart.
a) Nickel/cobalt precipitation as mixed hydroxides, followed by releach in acidic or ammoniacal solution. This route used very successfully on the Cawse and Ravensthorpe/YEP projects for instance. b) Nickel/cobalt precipitation as mixed sulphides, then releach .

Text version. This bar graph shows Canada's annual mine production of nickel from 2010 to 2019. Canada mined 157,170 tonnes of nickel in 2010. Production fluctuated around 200,000 tonnes and reached a peak of 230,210 tonnes in 2016. Production then decreased to 177,867 tonnes in 2018 before increasing to 181,410 tonnes in 2019.
Nickel is normally found in nature combined with arsenic, antimony and sulfur in the form of sulfides. Approximately 65% of nickel is used in the manufacture of austenitic stainless steel and another 21% in the manufacture of superalloys. The rest is used for the manufacture of other alloys (Alnico, mumetals, monel, nitinol) and alysts.
Nickel extraction from ore follows a similar path to copper extraction, and in some circumstances, similar procedures and equipment are employed. The use of highertemperature refractories and the greater cooling necessary to accommodate the higher operating temperatures in nickel production are the most significant variations in equipment.
· The extraction of nickel, mainly mined in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Russia and the Philippines, comes with environmental and health costs
