Ferronickel an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The specific energy consumption for processing 1 ton of dry lean nickel ore (1% Ni) is 810 kWh or 78 200 kWh per 1 ton of nickel. The use of richer ores (% to % Ni) allows the decrease of specific energy consumption at least twofold (Novikov et al., 2005). The combined nickel yield into ferronickel is .
