| General comment on data set | Laterite nickel ore is mined from Indonesia (~1.21% Ni) and processed through High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) to produce the intermediate product, mixed hydroxide precipitate (~39% Ni). The relevant data comes from on-site production data of open-pit mines on the Halmahera and Obi islands. The product is transported to China for further refining into nickel sulfate. Waste treatment is estimated based on the amount of ore and water usage. |
