Vertical Slag Mill for Efficient Grinding and Recycling of Nickel Ore Smelting Waste Slag

We provide a wide range of mills — including Raymond mill, trapezoidal mill, vertical mill, ultrafine mill, and ball mill, obtained ISO9001 international quality certification, EU CE certification, and Customs Union CU-TR certification. Suitable for processing minerals such as limestone, phosphate, quicklime, kaolin, talc, barite, bentonite, calcium carbonate, dolomite, coal, gypsum, clay, carbon black, slag, cement raw materials, cement clinker, and more.

The discharge range of these mills can be adjusted to meet specific processing needs, typically from 80-400 mesh, 600-3250 mesh, and can achieve the finest particle size of up to 6000 mesh(D50).

The Nickel Slag Challenge

Nickel smelting operations generate substantial quantities of waste slag containing residual metal values and mineral components. Traditional ball mill systems often prove inefficient for slag reprocessing due to:

  • High energy consumption (typically 40-50 kWh/t)
  • Excessive metal contamination from grinding media
  • Limited drying capacity for moist slag materials
  • Large footprint requirements

Our Vertical Mill Solution

The LM Vertical Slag Mill (Capacity: 7-100T/H, Input size: 38-65mm) addresses these challenges through its innovative design:

Key Advantages for Nickel Slag Processing
  1. Integrated Drying & Grinding: Simultaneously handles moisture contents up to 15% without pre-drying
  2. Precision Particle Control: Achieves 325-2500 mesh fineness with narrow particle distribution
  3. Metal Contamination Prevention: Non-contact grinding mechanism maintains product purity
  4. Energy Efficiency: 30-40% lower power consumption vs conventional ball mills

For operations requiring ultra-fine slag powders (d97 ≤ 5μm), our MW Ultrafine Grinding Mill (0.5-25 tph capacity) provides the perfect complement with its German-designed cage-type powder selector and eco-friendly pulse dust collection system.

Environmental & Economic Benefits

By adopting our vertical grinding technology, nickel smelters achieve:

  • 30-50% reduction in slag processing costs
  • Higher recovery rates of residual nickel (up to 92%)
  • Production of premium slag cement additives
  • Full compliance with ISO 14001 environmental standards

The mill’s negative pressure operation and built-in pulse dust collector ensure dust emissions remain below 20 mg/Nm³, while the noise elimination room maintains workplace sound levels under 75 dB.
