Bateman Engineering's ability to provide cost effective facilities for nickel processing and cobalt ore recovery is based strongly on its technological capability and project know-how of minerals processing, smelting and refining applications.
Bateman’s plant references date back more than two decades. Major recent projects include a ferronickel smelter for Southern Urals Nickel in Russia, cobalt SX/ IX/ EW circuits for Baja Mining’s El Boleo project in Mexico, and Freeport-McMohran’sTenke project in the DRC, sulphuric acid facility for DMSA’s Ambatovy Nickel in Madagascar, nickel concentrator for Allegiance Mining’s Avebury Nickel in Tasmania and pulsed columns for Vale-Inco’s Goro Nickel in New Caledonia.
Bateman’s state-of-the-art expertise and technologies cover
- Ore handling and preparation - materials handling, comminution and pre-concentration.
- Flotation and dewatering.
- Nickel extraction: pyrometallurgy – smelting, converting and peripherals.
- Nickel extraction: hydrometallurgy – leaching, residue and impurity removal and acid plants.
- Nickel solvent extraction, ion exchange and electrowinning.
- Cobalt recovery – leach, purification by precipitation, solvent extraction, ion exchange and electrowinning.
- Process modelling - steady-state simulation, dynamic simulation, finite element analysis and engineering design and drafting.
