Challenges in processing nickel laterite ores by flotation

Therefore, these types of cells (or similar) should be tested in processing laterite ores. In addition, increasing particle size often results in enhancing the particle–bubble interaction in flotation. Selective flocculation of fine particles could be therefore the key parameter to improve the flotation performance of laterite ores ...
