ABSTRACT:
Metals are recovered from ore slurries by: adding NaOH and electrolyzing athigh temperature; adding an alkali metal halide and continuing electrolysis tosolubilize the metal values; and extracting the metal values by adsorption on
activated C or by solvent extraction The ore has a particle size of preferably -320
mesh. Thus, laterite serpentine ore containing 3.1% Ni was ground, slurried withwater, and mixed with NaOH. The slurry was heated to 150°, and d.c. wasapplied at 15 V and 5-7 A for 5 h. NaCl and activated C were added, andelectrolysis was continued at 12 V and 3-5 A for 12 h. The C was filtered andstripped with HNO3. The Ni recovery was 87%.

Notes
The following notes are meant to assist in the use ofthis part of the classification scheme. They must not
be read as modifying in any way the elaborations.
(1) Section C covers :(a) pure chemistry, which covers inorganic compounds,
organic compounds, macromolecular compounds, and their
methods of preparation;(b) applied chemistry, which covers compositions
containing the above compounds, such as: glass,ceramics, fertilisers, plastics compositions, paints,
products of the petroleum industry. It also covers
certain compositions on account of their having
particular properties rendering them suitable forcertain purposes, as in the case of explosives,
dyestuffs, adhesives, lubricants, and detergents;(c) certain marginal industries, such as the
manufacture of coke and of solid or gaseous fuels, theproduction and refining of oils, fats and waxes, thefermentation industry (e.g., brewing and wine-making),
the sugar industry;(d) certain operations or treatments, which are either
purely mechanical, e.g., the mechanical treatment ofleather and skins, or partly mechanical, e.g., thetreatment of water or the prevention of corrosion in
general;(e) metallurgy, ferrous or non-ferrous alloys.
(2) (a) In the case of operations, treatments, products orarticles having both a chemical and a non-chemical partor aspect, the general rule is that the chemical partor aspect is covered by section C.
(b) In some of these cases, the chemical part or
aspect brings with it a non-chemical one, even though

purely mechanical, because this latter aspect either isessential to the operation or treatment or constitutes
an important element thereof. It has seemed, in fact,
more logical not to dissociate the different parts or
aspects of a coherent whole. This is the case forapplied chemistry and for the industries, operations
and treatments mentioned in Notes (1)(c), (d) and (e).
For example, furnaces peculiar to the manufacture ofglass are covered by class C03 and not by class F27.
(c) There are, however, some exceptions in which themechanical (or non-chemical) aspect carries with it thechemical aspect, for example:- Certain extractive processes, in subclass A61K;- The chemical purification of air, in subclass A61L;- Chemical methods of fire-fighting, in subclass A62D;- Chemical processes and apparatus, in class B01;
- Impregnation of wood, in subclass B27K;- Chemical methods of analysis or testing, in subclass
G01N;- Photographic materials and processes, in class G03,
and, generally, the chemical treatment of textiles andthe production of cellulose or paper, in section D.
(d) In still other cases, the pure chemical aspect iscovered by section C and the applied chemical aspect byanother section, such as A, B or F, e.g., the use of a
substance or composition for:- treatment of plants or animals, covered by subclass
A01N;- foodstuffs, covered by class A23;
- ammunition or explosives, covered by class F42.
(e) When the chemical and mechanical aspects are so
closely interlocked that a neat and simple division is
not possible, or when certain mechanical processes
follow as a natural or logical continuation of achemical treatment, section C may cover, in addition to
the chemical aspect, a part only of the mechanicalaspect, e.g., after-treatment of artificial stone,
covered by class C04. In this latter case, a note or areference is usually given to make the position clear,even if sometimes the division is rather arbitrary.
