Technology

REFINING:

The refining process can follow a number of routes, and a ‘generic’ refining route cannot be identified.
General refining processes can include crushing, grinding, leaching, purification, electrolysis, electrowinning, cutting and reduction processes, amongst others.
Refining often involves the separation of nickel from other metals, and results in diverse nickel and other metal co-products.
Average matte has a nickel content of 68%.
