As the main source of nickel metal extraction, nickel ore plays a key role in the modern industrial system. According to the difference in ore properties, nickel sulfide and laterite nickel are the two main types of nickel minerals, and they have many differences in many aspects. Let's introduce them from several dimensions.Details>>
Laterite nickel ore is a secondary deposit formed by ultrabasic rocks (such as peridotite, serpentinite, etc.) under long-term weathering, and is a typical weathering crust mineral resource. This type of ore is mostly red, brown or yellow in appearance, and its texture is similar to soil, hence the name. Its formation process is accompanied by complex physical, chemical and biological effects, making laterite nickel ore not only an important source of nickel metal, but also contains a variety of elements such as iron, magnesium, and cobalt, with significant comprehensive development value. Unlike sulfide nickel ore, the nickel element in laterite nickel ore mainly exists in the form of oxides or hydroxides, which determines that its extraction process is significantly different from that of sulfide nickel ore.Details>>
Cobalt (Co) is a silver-white metal known for its high melting point, strong magnetic properties, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is an indispensable key strategic resource in modern industry. Cobalt ore refers to natural mineral aggregates containing cobalt, usually found in compound forms such as sulfides, oxides, arsenides, or silicates. The formation of cobalt ores is closely related to geological activities, commonly found in magmatic processes, hydrothermal activities, or sedimentary environments.Details>>
Kaolin is a very and important non-metallic mineral that is widely used in papermaking, refractory materials, ceramic and rubber fillers, coatings, white cement raw materials, enamel glazes, daily cosmetics, building materials, petroleum, chemicals and other industrial fields. Below we will learn about kaolin clay from its types, characteristics and uses.Details>>
Lithium consumption in the battery industry is very large. With the rapid growth of lithium consumption, traditional lithium resources such as spodumene and low magnesium brine can no longer meet market demand, and non-traditional resources will be heavily utilized. In such a shortage situation, which lithium ores are worth mining and what are their ore characteristics? Let’s find out together!Details>>
Tin is a strategic metal resource that is silvery white and shiny. The element symbol is Sn and the atomic number is 50. It is a main group metal in the 14th group of the periodic table of elements. Tin has similar chemical properties to germanium and lead, with a relative density of 7.0, a melting point of 232°C, and a hardness of 3.75. It has stable chemical properties, corrosion resistance, low toxicity, and good ductility. Tin resists corrosion and oxidation by water, prevents oxidation reactions by forming tin alloys with other metals, and can also serve as a catalyst for chemical reactions.Details>>
The formation of laterite nickel ore is mainly a water-containing oxide mineral formed due to climate changes (through rainforest, oxidation, etc.). According to the different compositions of nickel ore, it can be divided into two types: limonite-type nickel ore and magnesium-nickel ore. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of these two types of laterite nickel ores.Details>>
Lithium is the lightest of all metals. It is widely used in air treatment, batteries, ceramics, glass, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals and polymers. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are particularly important in the fight against global warming because they can power cars and trucks using renewable energy sources, such as hydropower, solar or wind, rather than burning fossil fuels.Details>>
As an important raw material for new energy, countries with large reserves of lithium have inherent advantages. Western Australia has five of the world's largest lithium mines, with total reserves of more than 475.24 million tons (Mt). Mining Technology ranks the top ten lithium mines in the world based on proven and probable reserves.Details>>
Abstract: This article mainly introduces the types of manganese ore deposits and their characteristics. There are many types of manganese deposits, including sedimentary, volcanic sedimentary, sedimentary metamorphic, hydrothermal, weathered and submarine nodule-crust types. Among them, the more common ones are mainly sedimentary type, weathered type and submarine nodules. Let’s follow the editor to learn about various types of manganese ores.Details>>
Manganese is a Group VIIB element in the fourth period of the periodic table. Manganese is widely distributed in nature and is contained in almost all kinds of ores and silicate rocks. The most common manganese ores are anhydrous and hydrous manganese oxide and manganese carbonate. There are 150 known manganese minerals. However, there are only 5-6 manganese minerals with high manganese content that can be enriched in large quantities to form economically valuable manganese minerals. Among them, The important and economically valuable ones are pyrolusite and hardmanganese, as well as hydromanganese ore, brown manganese ore, black manganese ore, rhodochrosite, etc. The manganese content in these minerals can reach about 50-70%, and they are important industrial minerals of manganese.Details>>
South Africa and Ukraine are the two countries with the largest manganese ore (metal) reserves in the world. Their reserves are almost equal, and together they account for half of the world's total reserves. Secondly, in order of reserves from large to small, they are Australia, Brazil, India, Gabon, Kazakhstan and Mexico.Details>>
