Patent

CA 2548225

A process for leaching a value metal from oxidic materials, such as a lateritic nickel ore, comprising the step of leaching the ore with a lixiviant comprising a cationic salt (e.g., magnesium chloride) and hydrochloric acid is disclosed. An oxidant or additional metal chloride (such as that which results from the leaching operation) may be added. In one embodiment, the process comprises recovery of a value metal from ore comprising the steps of: leaching the ore with a lixiviant; separating a value metal-rich leachate from the ore in a first solid-liquid separation; oxidizing and neutralizing the value metal-rich leachate so obtained; and separating a solution of magnesium chloride from the leachate so obtained in a second solid-liquid separation. In another embodiment, the lixiviant solution is regenerated from the solution of magnesium chloride. In a further embodiment, regeneration of the lixiviant solution includes a step of producing magnesium oxide from the solution of magnesium chloride.
