The invention provides a process of producing modern blast furnace nickel smelting with nickel ore concentrate, The process comprises the following steps of: selecting nickel ore concentrate which comprises sulfuration nickel ore, nickel limonite ore and secondary paragenetic ore, and nickel-containing byproduct tailings of main metal mineral processing such as copper, molybdenum, zinc, arsenic and so on; mixing the nickel ore concentrate to obtain mixed ore, the weight percentages of each component of the mixed ore are: Ni=8.5 percent +- 0.5 percent, Fe=30 percent +-0.5 percent, and SiO2=8.5percent +-0.5 percent; adding the following ingredients into the mixed ore, the ingredients comprise calcareousness CaO, washing head coal, bentonite, manganese slag and hot water; mixing the materials to granulate to obtain sintered materials; sintering, crushing and screening the sintered materials to obtain sintered ore; packing respectively the sintered ore and metallurgical coke with 3.6:1 of the weight proportion into the blast furnace to smelt into nickel pig iron; and carrying out de-C, de-Si, de-P, de-S treatment to the nickel pig iron through a revolving furnace to obtain ferronickel products. The process has the characteristics of less slag quantity, high nickel content, energy economization and emission reduction as well as various minerals.
