The extractive metallurgy of nickel and cobalt
At last the limonite,
roiling in acid,
is no longer placid
and gives up its goethite,
to dissolve, then be jarosite
blood red, as Abassid
Iraq's limp and flaccid
neck in Mongke's lasso tight.
And then come the flash tanks,
limestone dosing, thickeners,
organo-acids like little skanks
selecting like a slutty nurse
Ni and Co from the baser ranks.
