Following QA/QC procedures, portable XRF (p-XRF) field tests were performed on borehole samples from nickel laterite deposits and the results compared with lab-XRF results. To verify reliability accuracy of obtained by p-XRF in field, certified reference materials prepared as glass beads analyzed together samples. The showed that overall contents each element generally lower wet than pulp sampl...

Abstract In consideration of the abundant moisture limonitic nickel laterite mined, it is essential to determine whether self-possessed after pre-dried appropriate for sintering. Thus, based on characterization laterite, influence its sintering performance was expounded by sinter pot tests and relevant mechanism revealed systematical analyses granulation properties mixture, thermodynamic condit...
