Sources nickel laterite deposit of the world are mostly found in the tropic such as Indonesia. The initial composition of nickel saprolite ore is characterized by XRF. Saprolte ore was reduced use coal 15% wt at 1000°C for 60 minutes. The result of reduction is characterized by XRD. Effect of roasting reduction to recovery nickel also affect the result leaching use solvent sulphuric acid (H2SO4) for 240 minutes at 100°C with varying concentrations of 0.5 M, 1 M, and 2 M. The content of nickel dissolved in pregnant leach solution calculated using Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy (AAS).Result of XRD characterization shows phase transformation into Fe3O4, NiO, and FeNi after reduction roasting. Sulphuric Acid at concentration 1 Molar has the highest nickel recovery with 52.75% in reduced saprolite ore.
