Process for recovery of copper and nickel powders from high iron containing waste or secondary resourc

Abstract

A process for recovery of copper and nickel in the form of powder from a high iron containing waste or secondary resource, is disclosed. copper and nickel are the metals of high value/strategic importance and therefore their recovery from such waste and byproduct is of great importance, particularly for producing value added products such as powders with specific demand in the area like powder metallurgical (P/M) applications. Copper and nickel powders can also be prepared from other copper-nickel containing secondary resource from other industries.
