Outotec to provide technology for nickel sulfate production in South Korea
Outotec has agreed with Enerchem Co Ltd on the delivery of technology for a
nickel matte treatment facility to be built in South Korea. This order follows
the conceptual study and basic engineering Outotec provided for the project. The
contract value exceeds EUR 10 million.
Enerchem, a subsidiary of Korean ferroalloy producer and trader Enertec Co Ltd,
is building a new nickel matte treatment facility. Nickel matte is a commercial
intermediate product of nickel smelting and contains about 65 percent of
nickel. The new facility will produce annually 12,000 metric tons pure nickel
sulfate from purchased raw material. Nickel sulfate is used for example in the
battery industry.
Outotec's scope of delivery covers technology and proprietary equipment for the
entire plant, such as atmospheric and pressure leaching of nickel matte and iron
removal autoclaves, solvent extraction of nickel as well as impurities removal.
In addition, Outotec will deliver equipment for crystallization of nickel
sulfate and the process control system for the plant. Outotec also offers spare
parts as well as supervision services for the installation and commissioning,
expected to take place in the second half of 2013.
"Outotec has wide and long experience in hydrometallurgical technologies. This
is an exciting opportunity for us to tailor a solution, which uses atmospheric
and pressure leaching and solvent extraction technologies. Enerchem benefits
from an optimized and efficient process to produce pure nickel sulfate for the
growing demand in Asia", says Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
