The effect of a thermal pretreatment on the kinetic parameters and rate-controlling step for nickel leaching dissolution in hydrochloric acid‑sodium chloride solutions from a low–grade Colombian nickel laterite (1.15% Ni, 0.12% Co and 41.1% Fe), was evaluated. Mineralogical analysis showed that nickel is associated with iron in the form of hematite (Fe2O3) and goethite (FeOOH) within the calcined and uncalcined ore, respectively. Hydrochloric acid and total chloride ions concentrations, as well as leaching temperature, were shown to have a direct effect on nickel extraction. The experiments demonstrated that approximately 92% of nickel can be dissolved after just 25 minutes in a 3 M HCl and 2 M NaCl solution when the leaching temperature was increased to 60 °C after the sample had been previously calcined at 430 °C for 1 hour. Nickel dissolution can be described by the chemical reaction-controlled shrinking particle model for both the calcined and uncalcined samples, with apparent activation energies of 98 kJ/mol and 103 kJ/mol, respectively. This result indicates that a thermal pretreatment stage does not affect the nickel reaction mechanism, although it may liberate the nickel within the laterite structure.
