    Abstract: This invention provides a process to thermally upgrade metal-containing ores comprising the following steps: (1) mixing: (i) ore, (ii) from 4 and up to 15% by weight relative to the ore of reducing agent, (hi) sulphur bearing agent, (iv) metallic-bearing seeding agent, and optionally (v) low temperature binder agent to produce a blend; (2) agglomeration and dry, if required, of the blend formed in step 1 to produce agglomerates; (3) calcination the agglomerates formed in step 2 at reducing atmosphere from a partial pressure of oxygen of Log 10 (pO 2 )= - 12 to Log 10 (p0 2 ) = -15) and at temperature between 950-1150°C to produce a liquid metallic phase that growth and concentrate into metallic particles within the agglomerates; (4) cooling the agglomerates after step 3 to ambient temperature in reducing or inert atmosphere; (5) crushing and grinding the calcine produced in step 4 to a size amenable for magnetic separation of metallic particles, typically represented by a p80 equal or below 25μm; and (6) magnetic concentration of metallic particles by known techniques of magnetic separation including but not limited to magnetic separation by wet or dry means, dewatering and drying. The invention also refers to the magnetic concentrate produced by the process and to the use of the magnetic concentrate to produce a ferronickel or highly metalized nickel containing matte for the production of stainless steel.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for harvesting waste thermal energy from a pyrometallurgical vessel (1) and converting that energy to direct electrical current, the method including deriving and controlling a primary fluid flow (103) from a primary heat exchanger (10) associated with the pyrometallurgical vessel (1), providing a secondary heat exchanger (12) physically displaced from the pyrometallurgical vessel (1) which exchanges heat between the primary fluid flow (103) from the primary heat exchanger (10) and a secondary fluid flow (104). The secondary heat exchanger (12) has at least one thermoelectric or magneto-thermoelectric device having two operationally-opposed sides, the operationally-opposed sides being in thermal communication with the primary and secondary fluid flows (103,104) respectively. A temperature difference is maintained between the two operationally-opposed sides of the thermoelectric or magneto-thermoelectric device and electrical energy is generated from the temperature differential. The pyrometallurgical vessel preferably generates a magnetic field (14) in the region surrounding the pyrometallurgical vessel (1) and the secondary heat exchanger (12) having at least one magneto-thermoelectric device is positioned physically displaced from but within the magnetic field (14) surrounding the pyrometallurgical vessel such that the direction of temperature gradient across the secondary heat exchanger is oriented normally to the maximum principal direction of the magnetic field (14) and electrical energy is generated from the temperature differential and magnetic field via the Nernst effect or magneto-thermoelectric effects.
