摘要

The Mond Process involves, in the words of Lord Kelvin, “giving wings to nickel.” The process has been used for decades by a handful of companies around the world to produce more than 100,000 t of high-purity nickel and iron annually. The presentation will outline the merits and drawbacks of carbonyl processing of both sulfide and laterite nickel ores in terms of energy input and environmental footprint, plus the potential for producing new grades of battery precursors (such as high-purity nickel and iron powders) made by this unique, low-temperature vapor-phase method of nickel, iron, and cobalt deposition and particle formation.
