Enhanced methods for nickel recovery from low-grade ores and bleed streams
Way back in elementary school when you thought of nickel, the first image that popped into your head was probably that nice shiny 5¢ coin. Even though we hardly carry change purses anymore, nickel is still ever present in our day-to-day lives. From the shiny stainless-steel trim on your building to the knives in your kitchen, nickel is found everywhere. With nickel becoming favored for use in transport, power generation, cell phones, food preparation, and medical equipment, it leads one to think about where all this nickel is coming from.

Tea & Metal Recovery: An Unlikely Comparison
What do your morning cup of tea and a metal recovery plant have in common? Not a whole lot, is what you would hope! However, this is where you are mistaken. The simple act of steeping tea is, in fact, very similar to the process of leaching in metal recovery.

10 Questions Answered About Electrowinning and Electrorefining
1. What is electrowinning?
Topics: electrowinning, Refinery Optimization
In a world that is increasingly demanding sustainability, nonferrous metal recycling has become a very important practice. Opting for recycling does not only mean being responsible for the environment and reducing the carbon footprint, it is also a very reasonable business in industries that rely on using non-renewable resources.

The electrowinning of copper is an electrolytic process that uses electricity to recover dissolved copper from solution as
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- -->Cu(s) (E0 = +0.34V)
Copper easily dissolves in acids including sulphuric, nitric and hydrochloric. Recovering copper cathode from acidic
