Producing nickel-rich battery cathodes requires high-purity nickel, in the form of nickel sulfate, derived from high-grade nickel sulfide deposits. However, right away there is a problem, in that the majority of today''s nickel production is nickel pig iron (NPI) used in steelmaking (also known as ferro-nickel), which is ill-suited for making batter-grade nickel.
in 2017. As a result, producers of class 1 nickel have been forced to close mines and defer capital expenditures.

Conclusions This study assesses the environmental performance of the production of nickel sulfate that is used in Li-ion batteries. A cradle-to-gate LCA examines the environmental impacts and energy use of a typical HPAL hydrometallurgical process in Indonesia, that produces MHP from low-grade limonitic laterites.
MHP is increasingly emerging as the most preferred nickel intermediate product in battery-grade nickel sulphate production, particularly in Indonesia based on the treatment of limonitic laterites with high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) technology (Szurlies and Vasters, 2024).
This study refers to battery grade nickel sulphate (22 % Ni) produced from both sulphidic and lateritic ores following both pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processing at global scale (excluding China), which limits the ability to fully compare and contextualize its findings within the body of the LCA research shown in Table 4.
BHP set to produce battery grade nickel sulphate from their Nickel West operations at Kwinana , where it is seeking to construct one of the world's biggest nickel sulphate plant. We helped to build and run a pilot plant to test BHP's nickel products for the battery market.
Offering a comprehensive view on the global nickel sulphate market, both in terms of supply and demand in unprecedented detail, the report details the challenges that exist in satisfying the growing demand as well as existing markets. With stocks rising, demand weakening and surpluses building, the decline in nickel prices is gathering pace.
Nickel is undergoing a significant change in the way it's sold to meet new demand for batteries. BHP, for example, has said that demand for nickel sulphate from battery makers is growing rapidly and likely to overtake demand from traditional markets.
