Replication Data for: Mineralogical controls on the recovery of Ni and Co from HCl leaching of laterites

This dataset contains the underlying data used for the study "Mineralogical controls on the recovery of Ni and Co from HCl leaching of laterites" carried out as part of the HE ENICON project.
The dataset contains whole-rock (geochemistry and particle size distributions) and mineralogical (mineral abundances, particle properties, mineral chemistry) data from laterite ores and solid residues after HCl leaching of those ores.
The data were collected to assess how the laterite ores and the minerals within them respond to leaching with HCl. The study focuses on the recovery of Ni and Co from these laterite ores, specifically, which minerals are resistant to the HCl leaching and, consequently, prevent the full recovery of metals.
