What are the development prospects for recycled nickel?
As global metal resources become increasingly scarce, the secondary metals industry is gradually emerging as a prominent player. Among these, secondary nickel is gaining increasing importance. Secondary nickel refers to nickel produced by recycling, processing, and reusing scrap nickel materials; its industry has become an essential component of the global metal recycling sector.
With the rapid development of the new energy industry, demand for lithium resources has surged dramatically. As one of the key sources of lithium, salt lakes have long been a focal point of attention in the industry, particularly when it comes to lithium extraction technologies. In particular, the challenge of extracting lithium from high-magnesium-to-lithium ratio salt lakes has consistently been a bottleneck in the industry. However, a newly developed specialized extractant offers a novel solution for the efficient separation of magnesium and lithium.
