Indonesia is a country that has abundant mineral resources, including nickel resources in laterite ore. Nickel demand risen significantly because of the need for precursors battery production. can be processed via hydrometallurgical route to obtain precursor by leaching ore with an acid solution produce nickel-rich or Pregnant Leach Solutions (PLS). This then precipitation base make its hydroxi...

As plating proceeds, both nickel and hypophosphite ions are consumed. These deficiencies can be corrected by adding nickel and hypophosphite salts. However, as the byproduct phosphite accumulates, the quality of the deposit deteriorates. At some point the bath must be discarded and replaced-a practice that is expensive due to the cost of purchasing a new solution and disposing of the old one. T...

In this work, batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the suitability of prepared acid activated carbons in removing heavy metal ions such as nickel(II), lead(II) and chromium(VI). Acid activated carbons were obtained from oil palm and coconut shells using phosphoric acid under similar activation process while the differences lie either in impregnation condition or in both ...

To assess the tolerance and phytoaccumulation ability of the duckweed Lemna gibba L. to copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni), the aquatic plants were exposed to different concentrations of Cu and Ni (0.1 – 2.0 mg/L) in quarter Coïc and Lesaint solution at pH = 6.0 (± 0.1) and under a daily regime of 12 h light. Copper and nickel were tolerated by L. gibba at concentrations ≤ 0.3 mg/L and ≤ 0.5 mg/L, res...
