Russia’s Norilsk sees room for palladium output growth

Posted on by Leave a comment

Global palladium producers need to increase output by 2020 to cover a rising deficit, according to an executive at Russia’s Norilsk Nickel, the world’s largest producer of the metal.

Production of palladium, used in catalytic converters, devices which control car exhaust emissions, and in jewellery, currently lags consumption by 30 tonnes, or by 1 million troy ounces.

Laterite Ore Processing

Posted on by Leave a comment

Some of the world class Nickel Laterite ore deposits have Cobalt, Copper and PGE values. Recovering all these metal values in a single refining step is a major challenge. Carbonyl Vapor Metallurgical process is a viable technology to over come this challenge, and also Feasibility Study shows better economics in refining laterite ore via Carbonyl Technology. The technology is a better option for low grade laterite ore as well.
