Nickel (II) carbonate basic aqueous paste

Nickel (II) carbonate basic aqueous paste
Nickel content: 21.5–28%. Used in the production of catalysts, nickel pigments, ceramics, and electroplating.
Description

Basic nickel (II) carbonate — an inorganic nickel compound belonging to the class of basic carbonates. The substance is an intermediate product in the production chains of the nickel industry and is widely used as a precursor for obtaining nickel oxide, nickel salts, and nickel catalysts.

Technically, the presence of minor impurities, including nickel hydroxide, is permissible due to the variable composition of the compound. The molecular formula of the substance varies depending on synthesis conditions, reagent ratios, and temperature regime.

The product is insoluble in water, but readily dissolves in dilute mineral acids and ammonia solutions, which determines its wide application in nickel hydrometallurgy.

Appearance

Light green powder.

Basic nickel (II) carbonate is supplied as a mixture of nickel carbonate and nickel hydroxide hydrate in variable proportions.

Externally, the substance is a finely dispersed light green powder, insoluble in water, but readily soluble in mineral acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric), as well as in ammonia and ammonium solutions, forming stable complex compounds.

Application

Main areas of application

  • Manufacture of nickel-containing catalysts;
  • Pigment for glass and ceramic materials;
  • Production of nickel salts;
  • Electrical engineering.

Nickel carbonate is used in the production of nickel-containing catalysts, as a pigment for glass and ceramics, for obtaining nickel salts, in electrical engineering, and also as a raw material for the synthesis of metallic nickel by thermal decomposition and hydrogen reduction.
