Nickel Sludge

Why Choose Our Nickel Sludge?

At MetalTradeMines, we know how critical nickel content is for your downstream processes. That’s why our sludge always averages between 15% and 20% nickel—enough to ensure you get the yield you expect when you’re running leach circuits or feeding a smelter. We also pay close attention to what’s not in our product: iron, copper, and organic residues are kept to a bare minimum thanks to rigorous quality checks. And because particle size can make or break a flotation or leaching run, we take extra care to grade every batch so it’s uniform and ready to perform, whether you’re using acid, ammonia, or a furnace.

Key Applications

• Metal Recycling Plants:
  When you drop our nickel sludge into an existing recovery circuit—be it a reverberatory furnace or a hydrometallurgical plant—you won’t see surprises. The consistent nickel content and low contaminants mean your recovery rates stay high and your downstream equipment stays clean.

• Smelting & Refining Operations:
  Looking for feedstock that won’t gum up your crucibles or require extra flux? Our sludge melts predictably, yielding fewer slag carry‐overs and allowing you to bump up throughput. Whether you’re running an electric‐arc furnace or a rotary kiln, you’ll appreciate how smoothly it processes.

• Chemical Leaching Systems:
  For anyone running acid or ammonia leach, particle size and purity are everything. Our sludge dissolves quickly, and with minimal iron and copper “dirt,” you spend less time scrubbing out impurities and more time recovering nickel sulfate or nickel hydroxide—fast.

Quality Assurance

1. ICP-OES Assay:
   Each delivery comes with a lab‐verified ICP-OES report showing the exact nickel percentage down to two decimal places. No guessing, no “average” values—just hard data so you can plan your yield.

2. Moisture & Grain Analysis:
   Too much water can mean extra drying costs before you even start. That’s why we measure moisture content on every batch, keeping it within your preferred range. We also analyze grain size so you know exactly how our sludge will behave in flotation cells or leach tanks.

3. Contaminant Screening:
   We test for heavy metals like lead and arsenic, as well as any lingering organic compounds. If any batch doesn’t meet our strict thresholds, it stays in quarantine until it’s corrected. When you receive our nickel sludge, you can trust it’s ready for immediate use.

Flexible Logistics & Packaging

• Bulk & IBC Totes:
  Need 10 metric tons at once? We can ship it in dedicated 10-MT containers. Smaller runs? Ask for 1-MT IBC totes—perfect for labs or pilot runs.

• Global Door-to-Door Shipping:
  Whether your plant is on the other side of the country or halfway around the world, we’ll coordinate sea, rail, or road freight. We handle customs paperwork, freight forwarding, and everything in between—so you don’t have to juggle carriers.

• Custom Shipment Schedules:
  If weekly deliveries suit your production plan, we’ll set it up. Prefer bi-weekly? No problem. Even if you need a one-off spot shipment, just let us know and we’ll accommodate. Our goal is to align our deliveries with your processing schedule so you never run short of feedstock.
