As is well known, the process of direct reduction and magnetic separation is effective route to deal with low-grade saprolite laterite, but generally limited by the reduction of nickel (iron)-bearing minerals and growth of Fe-Ni alloy particles in the reduction process, causing the low recovery of nickel and iron. To improve beneficiation of ...

2.4. Beneficiation methods. Beneficiation is a process where ore is reduced in size and valuable minerals are separated from the gangue minerals. Separation of valuable minerals from gangue minerals can be efficiently achieved by taking advantage of the differences in physical, surface, and magnetic properties.
