A new process is developed for metallurgical beneficiation of iron laterite nickel-containing (limonite) ores with the formation of a metallic nickel-cobalt concentrate. This process includes reducing roasting of the ores with sulfur-containing additions in the temperature range 1100-1200°C, the fragmentation of the roasting product, and the magnetic separation of metallic and slag phases.

However, laterite nickel ores are not amenable to concentration by physical beneficiation methods since nickel is finely disseminated in laterite ore and cannot be upgraded by fine grinding or other methods of physical beneficiation [5, 6, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18].

The carrier mediated exchange interaction between Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions in laterite nickel ore sample treated with IRB consortium is responsible for higher ferromagnetic ordering.IRB consortia treated ore showed higher saturation magnetization value of 1.5 emu/g with remnant magnetization value of 0.328 emu/g and coercivity of 235 Oe.
