Abstract

This paper presents useful data on process parameters and experimental conditions for producing quality sinter based on laboratory scale experiments for sintering of a completely waste material, i.e., nickel plant leached residue for its effective utilization to extract nickel and chromium in the alloyed form by producing chromium based pig iron. Some attempts have also been made to evaluate the results obtained from several laboratory scale experiments for estimation of strength and productivity. It has been found that, by implementation of the process waste released from a nickel plant (based on reduction-roast-ammonia leaching) can be used to produce value added products thereby adding to the overall economics of the nickel production technology.
