In this step, this salt is evaporated and crystallised repeatedly to increase the purity of the crystals. These nickel and ammonium bisulfate crystals are treated with a concentrated solution of NaOH to form Ni(OH) 2. Nickel hydroxide is dissolved by sulfuric acid to form nickel sulfate, which is reduced by electrolysis: Ni 2+ to Ni 0. The ammonium sulfate solutions allow the recovery of ammonia by stripping.

Weathering in subtropical climates removes a major portion of the host rock, but the contained nickel dissolves and percolates downward and may reach a concentration sufficiently high to make mining economical. Because of this method of formation, laterite deposits are found near the surface as a soft, frequently claylike material, with nickel concentrated in strata as a result of weathering.

This process has three steps: 1. Nickel oxide reacts with Syngas at 200 °C to give nickel, together with impurities including iron and cobalt. NiO (s) + H2 (g) → Ni (s) + H2O (g) 2. The impure nickel reacts with carbon monoxide at 50-60 °C to form the gas nickel carbonyl, leaving the impurities as solids.
