[30,000 tons! Recently, South Korea's Posco Iron and Steel Group (POSCO) High Nickel Refining Project, which is designed, supplied core equipment and provided on-site technical support by China Enfei, has officially started. The scale of the project is to deal with about 30,000 tons of high nickel matte per year, using the pressure leaching technology of China's Enfei core expertise, using two-stage atmospheric pressure leaching and one-stage oxygen pressure leaching, and the leaching solution is purified and removed by the extraction process to produce battery-grade nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate products and by-product anhydrous sodium sulfate.

Recently, the (POSCO) high nickel matte refining project of Posco Iron and Steel Group of South Korea, which is designed, supplied by Enfei of China and supported by on-site technical support, has been officially started.

The scale of the project is to deal with about 30,000 tons of high nickel matte per year, using the pressure leaching technology of China's Enfei core expertise, using two-stage atmospheric pressure leaching and one-stage oxygen pressure leaching, and the leaching solution is purified and removed by the extraction process to produce battery-grade nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate products and by-product anhydrous sodium sulfate.

POSCO is a world-renowned steel manufacturing group, which is gradually expanding into the field of nickel-cobalt materials and battery products. Through this cooperation, China Enfei will deeply participate in POSCO's new development strategy and help POSCO to enter the field of new energy battery materials.

Enfei in China has been ploughing the related fields of nickel, cobalt, lithium, graphite and other battery materials for a long time, and has mastered the world's advanced nickel sulphide smelting and corresponding high nickel matte wet refining engineering technology. fully master atmospheric pressure leaching, pressure leaching, extraction purification / separation, process wastewater treatment and product refining technology. The successful implementation of this project will promote the high-quality application of global high matte smelting technology and promote the high-tech and high-quality development of the global non-ferrous smelting industry.

[SMM Nickel Flash] Based on nickel ore prices from 25 days ago, smelter profits for high-grade NPI remained high this week. However, from the current raw material side, ore prices from both the Philippines and Indonesia increased, while auxiliary material prices saw a slight pullback, leading to an increase in the cash cost of producing high-grade NPI from spot ore. At the same time, high-grade NPI prices experienced some pullback, making it difficult for smelter profits to see sustained improvement.
