An Overview of Nickel Utilization from Laterite Ore

The saprolite laterite ore has the highest nickel grade and lower iron grade. Iron mainly exists in the form of silicates, such as serpentine [ 34, 35 ]. The nickel and iron grades in the transition layer are between the limonite and saprolite layers and they mainly occur in goethite, hematite, and silicates.
