Ferronickel Preparation from Nickeliferous Laterite by Rotary Kiln …
In the recent years, ferronickel has been used as a substitute for electrolytic nickel for alleviating the cost of stainless steel production. Rotary kiln-electric furnace (RKEF) smelting is currently the world-wide mainstreaming process for ferronickel production from nickeliferous laterite ore, in spite of the high power consumption.

The RKEF process is a two-stage pyrometallurgical process that involves the calcination and the partial reduction of the saprolite ore in a rotary kiln, followed by high-temperature smelting in an electric arc furnace.26 The final product is a ferronickel alloy containing 20 wt.% to 40 wt.% nickel. It is uneconomic to process laterite ore with ...
Electric Smelting Furnace of Ore
The largest furnace that Electric Smelters has built is smelting 100 tons of iron ore in Norway (per day, presumably). This was erected in 1916 but is not mentioned in Millers report of 1936 cited later. The smallest furnace has a capacity of 750 pounds in 24- hours and is employed for reducing precipitates.
