Nickel Processing | Equipment, Process Flow, Cases
Eighty-four million tons, or 60 percent of the total available nickel is in laterite deposits. A deposit in which rain and surface water leached nickel-rich rock and concentrated the nickel at or near the surface of the Earth is a laterite deposit. Nickel sulfide deposits contain the remaining forty percent (56 million tons).

Nickel laterites appear as soil and as altered rocks (corestone). Usually the laterite is more soil-rich closer to surface and becomes more rock abundant at depth. The soil has a higher nickel content compared to the corestone, but the latter is also economic. The saprolite zone,composed of hydrous magnesium silicates (serpentine, chlorite ...
