About 70% of the world nickel reserves concentrate in the deposits of oxidized nickel ores. These ores are mainly represented by the following two types: magnesia silicate (saprolite) and iron (limonite) ores. The fraction of the silicate ores accounts for about 30%, and the other ~70% are represented by iron ores [1‒5].Web
