Nickel sulfide ore is the main raw material for refining nickel due to its high ore grade and mature processing technology (Zhu et al., 2012). However, after years of mining, high-grade nickel sulfide ore has gradually been exhausted and replaced by low-grade nickel sulfide ore with high-alkaline gangue (Zhen et al., 2008; Cui et al., 2017; Li et al., 2018b).
