Evaluation of the leaching characteristics of low-grade nickel laterite waste rock for indirect carbon sequestration application
The potential utilization of waste rock obtained from an active nickel mine site in Mindanao, the Philippines for indirect carbon sequestration is explored in this study. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) results...
