 — The treatment of laterites has been a research hotspot in extractive metallurgy over the past decades. Industrially, the pyrometallurgical treatment of laterites is mostly accomplished with a well-established method, namely, the rotary kiln–electric arc furnace (RKEF) process, which includes three main operations—calcination, …

 — It is the parent rock on which the chemical composition as well as the mineral composition of laterite is dependent. Quartz, manganese, Zircon, iron oxides, tin and aluminium which persist during the process of weathering are the key minerals present in laterite. Quartz is the most lavish antique mineral from the parent rock. 2.2 Lime Powder
