It’s mainly used in electro-nickeling and preparation of ceramic colored glaze and other nickel salt and catalyst containing nickel, etc.
1. Catalyst: It is used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, including organic synthesis and the production of certain chemicals.
2. Electroplating: Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is used in the electroplating process to deposit nickel on the surface for corrosion resistance and improved appearance.
3. Fertilizer: It can be used as a source of nickel in fertilizers, which is important for certain plants that require nickel as a micronutrient.
4.Pigments: Nickel nitrate is used to produce nickel-based pigments, which are used in ceramics and glass.
5. Research: It is used in laboratories for a variety of research applications, including research related to nickel compounds and their properties.
6. Battery Production: Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is sometimes used in the production of nickel-based batteries, such as nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is green crystal.
It’s easy in moisture absorption.
It disintegrates in dry air.
It decomposes into tetrahydrate by losing four water molecules and then converts into anhydrous salt at temperature of 100℃.
It’s easily dissolved in water, soluble in alcohol, and slightly soluble in acetone.
Its aqueous solution is acidity.
It will burn once in contact with organic chemicals.
It’s harmful to swallow.
