Abstract:Laterite nickel deposit has the characterisitcs of large imports, complex compositions and high differences. In order to fully understand the correlation between chemical compositions of laterite nickel ore, taking Rizhao Port as the main study area, supplemented by Lianyungang port and Tianjin port, from January to December in 2013, according to the amount of monthly arrivals, extracting 11~25 samples every month and the 228 samples in total, through element analysis, the correlation between 19 major elements has been analyzed. It is found that there are symbiotic relationship between many elements caused by geological effects, weak correlation or no correlation caused by external environment weathering leaching, even strong correlation caused by weathering and leaching.
