The main problem of the separation process from nickel mining using the ion exchange technique is the presence of iron, which precipitates in pH above 2.00 and causes coprecipitation of copper and cobalt. Chelating resins have the main advantage of being selected for a specific metal present in solution. Studies have been developed to increase the efficiency of metals recovery using chemical

On the other hand, the HPAL process is used more commonly for limonitic ores with high iron, containing low magnesium and silica. The process starts with crushing, followed by screening. In this step, it is commonly evaluated if the ore can be concentrated (beneficiated) by screening, where the enriched-silica fraction is separated from the ore.
