However, nickel laterite ores cannot be easily concentrated owing to their low nickel content and isomorphic goethite or serpentine crystalline structure (Mudd, 2010; Eckelman, 2010). Depending on their complex mineralogical structure, laterites do not respond to physical beneficiation methods (Norgate and Jahanshahi, 2011). Thus, hydro- and pyrometallurgical
