Abstract
Reduction experiments have been conducted on the ore roasting of low grade nickel laterite saprolite type of Halmahera Sangaji feedstock for the manufacture of Pig Iron Containing Nickel (NCPI / NPI). These experiments are intended to determine the extent of an increase in levels of Ni and Fe from low grade saprolite grading 1.27% Ni and 9.44% Fe. Reduction roasting of pellets made in a Muffle Furnace saprolite. Further reduction results calcine concentrated using a magnetic separator with a wet method to get the concentrate and tailings. Then the concentrate and tailings were analyzed by Atomic Adsorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) to determine how much increased levels of Ni and Fe. For the experiments used a variable temperature, time and percent reducing agent. Optimal experimental results obtained at T ± 1100 °C, 2% bentonite, 1 hour roasting time. and 12.5% coal. At concentrations increased levels to 1.97% Ni and Fe levels to 19.10%. While the levels of Ni tailings decreased to 1.02% and Fe levels rose to 11. 20%. If the concentrate is melted into NCPI / NPI according to the SS 300 (stainless steel 300) while the tailings when merged into NCPI / NPI according to the SS 200.
