Abstract
Nickel is an important strategic metal, which is mainly used for the production of a wide range in the production of various anti-corrosion steels. Electric furnace, rotary kiln and smelting is currently the world-wide integration process for the production of ferronickel from nickel laterite ore, despite its high energy consumption. In this study, with the aim of providing some meaningful analysis for the production of ferronickel and reactions formed in the rotary kiln. The samples obtained were analyzed under conditions including reducing parameters (temperature and time) and smelting parameters (CaO, Al2O3 and MgO ratios). The metal content as well as the Ni, Fe, S and P content of ferronickel were taken into account. The results showed that Ni-containing ferronickel from a laterite with 0.88 wt. % Ni during the process in the rotating furnace is characterized by different reactions which have been verified by XRD diffraction.
