Saprolite Leaching and Iron Control in Concentrated Magnesium Chloride Brines

MgCl2 brines present a number of potential advantages for the processing of saprolite ores for nickel production. Concentrated MgCl2 solutions enhance the activity of acid used, allow atmospheric leaching at elevated temperature and inhibit magnesium dissolution, which reduces acid consumption and i...
