Abstract
This paper discusses the converters for Ni separation, from a historic perspective and with concern as to current needs. The historic development of converter processes, starting from Bessemer to modern processes, is covered and the thermodynamic fundamentals of Ni converter reactions are briefly described. Environmental and recycling challenges are also discussed.
