Geometallurgy of cobalt ores: A review
Due to its low concentration in ores, cobalt is usually considered to be a companion metal which is of limited economic interest. The bulk of global cobalt production emanates as a by-product of extraction of commodities such as copper (~55%), nickel (~35%), and arsenic (Azevedo et al., 2018, Smith, 2001).The only exceptions, which …
Comparing the Dissolution of Copper-Cobalt Ores from …
