Ferronickel is a ferroalloy that contains approximately 35% nickel and 65% iron. It is a shiny metallic solid material and can be obtained from the carbothermic reduction of serpentinic minerals, such as serpentine, limonite, or garnierite. It enables the production of products with special electronic, magnetic and catalytic properties.

Ferronickel is a ferroalloy consisting of nickel and iron. It is mainly used as a nickel additive for steelmaking, for the production of stainless steel and heat-resistant special steel, as well as low-alloy cast iron and cast steel. The addition of nickel can improve the bending strength and hardness of steel.
Feed material for ferronickel production is predominantly saprolite, rather than limonite. This is because the iron content of the saprolite ore about 15% Fe, is lower than that of limonite ore. The choice of saprolite ore ensures that the ferronickel product is not excessively diluted by iron.
Desulphurization of Ferronickel in the converters with oxygen is the most complex part of the technological process in the Drenas foundry. Sulphur in the ferronickel melting is mostly in the form of FeS, with a melting temperature of 1195 o C, and it has tendency to dissolve indefinitely in liquid iron. Our objective is to determine the sulphur removal …
