Nickel Hydroxide Production

BGM Europe’s low-carbon footprint (LCF) Nickel Hydroxide incorporates processes that reduce the environmental impact inherant in the mining, transportation, smelting and refining of traditional Nickel. Production of nickel from laterite ores has occurred for over 100 years. However, until now the world nickel supply has been predominantly from sulphide sources. While BGM expects the production of nickel from sulphide ores to remain constant, the company believes the expansion in nickel production capacity will come from processing of laterite ores. A full 70 % of world land-based nickel resources are contained in laterites, but they currently account for only about 40 % of the world nickel production.

BGM Europe Ltd.  is developing a unique processing method to produce battery grade nickel sulfite in a novel, benign processing system.
