This is com-monly carried out by magnetic separation, Sotation, or a combinationof both after the ore is comminuted to below 200 m in size. The enrichment depends upon the degree of rejection of the other sulRde and non-sulRde gangue. The maximum grade ...
أكمل القراءةBeyond cobalt, Glencore has a diverse mining portfolio that includes copper, nickel, iron ore, and more. Diversity in operations is a good sign for any company. This means that even if their cobalt operations were to struggle in the future, they have other sources of income that would make up the difference.
أكمل القراءةCopper and cobalt can be found on nickel laterite ores, and cobalt can be found also on copper ores, and many contaminants such as iron, aluminum, and magnesium are associated with these ores. In hydrometallurgical process, a purification step is necessary after leaching due to the presence of these impurities.
