Microwave Treatment of Ultramafic Nickel Ores: …
Ultramafic nickel ores are difficult to process because they contain serpentine, an anisotropic mineral with a nonspherical morphology and multiple pH-dependent surface charges. Dehydroxylation of serpentine in ultramafic nickel ores by microwave treatment is proposed to improve the processability of these ores. Upon heating, serpentine is converted to olivine, an isotropic mineral that is ...
Processes and Ore Deposits of Ultramafic-Mafic …
Processes and Ore Deposits of Ultramafic-Mafic Magmas through Space and Time focuses on the fundamental processes that control the formation of ore deposits from ultramafic-mafic magmas, covering chromite, platinum-group element (PGE), Ni-sulfides and Ti-V-bearing magnetite. The exploration, exploitation and use of these magmatic ores are important aspects of geology and directly linked to …

Nickel Deposits Explained | Balmoral Resources Ltd.
Nickel Deposits Explained. Magmatic Nickel Sulphide Deposits . The bulk of nickel mined today comes from either nickel laterite deposits, in deeply weathered terrains where nickel is released from the weathering of ultramafic rocks, or from nickel sulphide deposits which is our primary focus at Grasset. In Canada nickel sulphide deposits are typically found in clusters or “belts” often ...
Effect of microwave pre-treatment on ultramafic …
It is proposed that ultramafic nickel ores be treated with microwave radiation prior to grinding in order to reduce slurry viscosity and yield stress. The rheology of two different ultramafic nickel ores, before and after microwave pre-treatment, was characterized in this work. Serpentine minerals were found to dominate the rheology of the untreated ultramafic nickel ores, with the ore ...

Nickel - Wikipedia
Nickel is a stone element with the symbol Ni and atomic number 28. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard and ductile.Pure nickel, powdered to maximize the reactive surface area, shows a significant stone activity, but larger pieces are slow to react with air under standard conditions because an oxide layer ...
OREAS 75a | Certified Reference Material (CRM) – …
OREAS 75a (10g units packaged under nitrogen) is one of a suite of six nickel sulphide CRMs (OREAS 72a to OREAS 77a) prepared from high grade massive nickel sulphide ore and barren ultramafic material from the Cosmos Nickel mine operated by Xstrata Nickel located in the Kathleen Valley area approximately 30km north of Leinster in Western Australia.

ULTRAMAFIC ASSOCIATED CHROMITE AND NICKEL …
mafic-ultramafic-associated chromite and nickel occur- fences in British Columbia. Its primary focus is the chromite occurrences in the province, however, due to the mineralogical association of platinum group metals and nickel with ultramafic rocks, they are also included where appropriate.

Nickel in Manitoba - Province of Manitoba
High-grade massive to semimassive nickel sulphide ores occur in the ultramafic rocks or adjacent sulphidic sedimentary rocks and were subjected to amphibolite-facies metamorphism and multiphase folding during the Trans-Hudson orogeny, resulting in extensive modification of primary textures and ore-host relationships. The Thompson, Birchtree and Pipe deposits have produced more than . 150 Mt of ...
2.5 Mafic-ultramafic orthomagmatic mineral …
Layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions usually have a well defined and predictable structure that can contain multiple ore bearing horizons. The base of the intrusion has an ultramafic composition ranging from dunite, lherzolite, harzburgite, websterite, clinopyroxenite and orthopyroxenite (Hoatson, 1998). Nickel-Cu sulfides can settle out at the base of the intrusion as the velocity of the magma ...
