Nickel & Cobalt Recovery Intelligence
Predict selectivity and purity across Ni/Co separation.
Process overview
Nickel and cobalt recovery uses leaching, precipitation, and solvent extraction to separate and purify two chemically similar metals. Selectivity between nickel and cobalt is the central control challenge.
Why prediction matters
Ni/Co selectivity is sensitive to pH, reagent condition, and feed chemistry, and mis-separation is costly. Prediction links separation conditions to selectivity and product purity.

Which of these variables tends to carry the most predictive signal in practice? Curious where to focus feature work first.
