In 2008, the nitric acid pressure leaching (NAPL) technology was patented and developed to treat laterite ores in China. In the following year, a pilot plant with an annual processing capacity of 330,000 tons of dry ores was assembled and tested. The pilot-scale tests were documented to illustrate the innovative technology.
