Smelting has serious effects on the environment, producing wastewater and slag and releasing such toxic metals as copper, silver, iron, cobalt, and selenium into the atmosphere. Smelters also release gaseous sulfur dioxide, contributing to acid rain, which acidifies soil and water. The smelter in Flin Flon, Canada was one of the largest point sources of mercury in North America in the 20th century. Even after smelter releases were drastically reduced, landscape re-emission continued

Nickel processing Britannica

Nickel has a relatively high melting point of 1,453 °C (2,647 °F) and a face-centred cubic crystal structure, which gives the metal good ductility. Nickel alloys exhibit a high resistance to corrosion in a wide variety of media and have the ability to withstand a range of high and low temperatures.

Extraction and Refining of the Platinum Metals

Ground nickel matte is fed through a hopper on to the top hearth which is kept at a low temperature; it then falls through to the lower hearth which is kept at 900° to 950°C. After cooling, the resultant nickel oxide is briquetted with anthracite coal and sand.
