Utam nickel ore is nickel sulfide.
Nickel-nickel are exported in the form of 3 kinds of ore, nickel rough, and ferronickel. Nickel mining area in the Koala, Soroako, North Maluku. Nickel mining way through various ways, among others;
• Felling trees and shrubs
• Stripping the land surface
• Excavation with ladder system (benching system) that is started from the ground up following the contour line with a power shovel digging tool or shovel dozer nickel processing through several stages:
• Baking
• Consolidation
• Use of Nickel Electrolysis
• To coat the items made of iron, copper, steel because nickel has a hardness, corrosion resistant and easy to gloss when rubbed.
• To make stainless steel (stailess stell)
• To make aliase with copper and some other metals such as:
a. Monel (Ni, Cu, Fe)
Used to make electricity transmission instrument
b. Nikrom (Ni, Fe, Cr)
Used as a heating wire
c. Alniko (Al, Ni, Fe, Co)
To make a magnet.
d. Palinit and Invar is nickel alloy that has the same expansion coefficient of glasses used as an electric wire embedded in glass, for example in Bolam incandescent lamps.
e. Nickel powder is used as a catalyst, for example in hidrogenansi (compaction) of coconut oil, also in petroleum cracking.
