Abstract

The poor recovery of cobalt was ascribed to the mineralogical complexity making the routine processing strategy poorly effective. More attention must hence be placed during the processing stages of Co-ores, in order to avoid inappropriate leaching conditions, inappropriate pulp density and liberation issues caused by the occurrence of Co-bearing phases refractory to leaching treatments.
