ferronickel processing
A report on ferronickel processing using biomass fuels (wood chips):
Modificações no processo incluem a substituição de equipamentos e injeção de “finos” (pedaços menores) de cavaco, o que aumentará a recuperação de níquel entre o minério recebido no forno calcinador e o produto final.
Does this mean the injection of splinters of wood? Or is there another term?
Thanks!

pulverized wood chips injection
By analogy with a well-known technique called PCI - Pulverized Coal Injection
http://ietd.iipnetwork.org/content/blast-furnace-system
I would translate it as it appears in Portuguese, since this might be a new technique or a particular method used in that plant. Hence "pulverized wood chips injection".
Pulverization of wood represents and advanced stage in the conversion of a primary fuel (logs) into another of superior quality from different aspect...

Although it's possible to use "pulverized wood chips", I found out that this particular company (Anglo American, as I mentioned in another question posted by Sarah), as well other companies in the business of wood chipping, are using the somewhat unusual term "wood chip fines". So I would like to offer an alternative translation:
injection of wood chip fines
Probably the Portuguese term injeção de “finos” was a literal translation of English material from that company.

No link 1 abaixo referem que reduzem os finos a uma granulometria inferior a 6 mm.
Talvez possam ser considerados "micro-wood chips" (vd link 2, com granulometria 3-6mm).
