How is nickel extracted from its ores

This is an important method to transform the nickel adducts produced from sulphide ores to pure nickel by the technique of electrorefining. During this procedure, nickel of low purity is pushed into solution as the anode in an electrolytic cell and pure nickel is deposited onto a cathode. This method usually attains 99.99% purity.
