Industrial Uses

1. Metal Treatment

  • Electroplating: Nickel sulfate is a key component in electroplating baths, where it provides the nickel ions that are deposited onto the workpiece.
  • Metal Finishing: Nickel sulfate is used in metal finishing operations to apply nickel coatings for various purposes, such as enhancing appearance, improving wear resistance, or providing a base layer for further coatings.
  • Blackening: In some cases, it's used to blacken brass and zinc.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Catalyst: Nickel sulfate acts as a catalyst in some chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of organic compounds.
  • Production of Nickel Compounds: It is used to produce a wide range of nickel compounds, including nickel hydroxide and nickel carbonate. These compounds can then be used in various applications, such as batteries and pigments.

3. Energy

  • Precursor to Cathode Active Materials (pCAM) for Li-ion batteries: Nickel sulfate is a key ingredient in the production of pCAM, which is then converted to cathode active materials for Li-ion batteries.

4. Water Treatment

  • Chelation: As a chelating agent, nickel sulfate can bind to heavy metal ions, effectively removing them from the water.
  • Coagulation: Nickel sulfate can be used to help remove suspended particles, heavy metals, and other pollutants from water by causing them to clump together, making them easier to filter out.
