It is mainly used in electroplating industry, as the main raw material for nickel plating and chemical nickel, and also as the main raw material for producing other nickel salts (such as nickel oxide, nickel ammonium sulfate, nickel carbonate, etc.). Printing and dyeing industry for the production of phthalocyanine blue complexing agent, can be used as mordant vat dyes. Catalysts used in the pharmaceutical industry for the oxidation reaction in the production of vitamin C. In the production of hardened oil, it is a catalyst for the hydrogenation of oils and fats. In addition, it is also used in the manufacture of nickel-cadmium batteries and the production of hard alloys.
packed in a woven bag or barrel lined with polyethylene plastic bag, each bag (barrel) has a net weight of 25kg and 50kg. There should be a marked "drug" sign on the package. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse. Do not store under active chlorine and hot sun. Take it lightly to prevent package breakage. Do not store and mix with food. During transportation, attention should be paid to heat and moisture protection. Nickel salts can damage human skin, and metallic nickel and its compounds can disrupt cellular metabolism. The maximum allowable concentration: the oxide and sulfide of divalent and trivalent nickel (calculated as Ni) is 0.5mg/m3; The nickel salt in the form of water aerosol (calculated as Ni) is 0. 0005mg/m3. The operator should wear a gas mask and a hose.

Overview | nickel sulfate has three types: anhydrous, hexahydrate and heptahydrate, there are two variants of the α-form and the β-form, the former being a blue tetragonal crystal and the latter being a green monoclinic crystal. According to the product classification, it can be divided into electroplating grade nickel sulfate and battery grade nickel sulfate. The former is used in electroplating industry and battery industry, is the main nickel salt of nickel plating and chemical nickel, and is also the source of metal nickel ion, the nickel ions and sulfate ions can be dissociated in the electroplating process. Battery grade nickel sulfate is one of the important raw materials for the production of ternary precursors, and different types of precursors have different nickel contents, which requires different amounts of battery grade nickel sulfate. The biggest difference between electroplating grade nickel sulfate and battery grade nickel sulfate is the cobalt content, battery grade cobalt content requires a lower threshold, the content requirement is only 0.4% (nickel 22.2%, cobalt 0.4%), because nickel sulfate as a ternary battery precursor raw material manufacturing, also need to use cobalt sulfate and other cobalt-containing salts, and electroplating grade nickel sulfate application of the downstream surface treatment industry, cobalt is used as an impurity element, its content needs to be reduced, the cobalt content should not exceed 0.05% (nickel 22.2%, cobalt 0.05% Max) Electroplating grade nickel sulfate is mainly used in the production of automobile hub, external components and other products. |
application field | The main application fields of nickel sulfate are as follows: 1, used in electroplating industry, it is the main nickel salt of nickel plating and chemical nickel, and also the source of metallic nickel ions, which can dissociate nickel ions and sulfate ions in the electroplating process. 2, hardened oil production is the catalyst for oil hydrogenation. 3, the pharmaceutical industry for the production of vitamin C oxidation catalyst. 4, inorganic industry used in the production of other nickel salts such as: Nickel Sulfate, nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide, nickel carbonate, etc. 5, in the printing and dyeing industry, nickel sulfate is used as mordant for the preparation of phthalocyanine brilliant blue complexing agent and vat dye. Among the above-mentioned applications in many industries, the use of electroplating, electroless plating and rechargeable batteries is the largest, and the battery grade consumption accounts for about 50% of the total demand. |
battery grade nickel sulfate | nickel sulfate is mainly divided into electroplating grade nickel sulfate (nickel 22.2%, cobalt 0.05% max) and battery grade nickel sulfate (nickel 22.2%, cobalt 0.4%), which is mainly divided by the content of cobalt element. The former is mainly used in the surface treatment industry; The latter is mainly used in the new energy battery material industry. 1. Application of battery grade nickel sulfate in nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium secondary batteries. Nickel sulfate can be used to make spherical nickel hydroxide, which is an important raw material for cathode materials of nickel hydrogen and nickel cadmium secondary batteries. But the method with the nickel hydrogen battery low energy, no use with the charge, the use of inconvenience; Nickel cadmium battery, containing heavy metal cadmium. This type of battery has gradually fade out of the market trend. 2. Battery grade nickel sulfate is used to prepare nickel cobalt hydroxide (NC). The market has NC products containing 60% nickel, 5% Cobalt and 35% hydroxide. 3, battery grade nickel sulfate for the preparation of nickel cobalt aluminum hydroxide (NCA), the representative product is a ternary lithium ion battery (referred to as NCA18650) produced by Japan's Matsushita for Tesla, which is a cylindrical nickel cobalt aluminum ternary lithium battery with a diameter of 18mm and a length of 65mm. NCA is an important component of the positive electrode material of the Tesla battery. 4, battery grade nickel sulfate for the preparation of nickel cobalt manganese hydroxide, commonly known as the ternary precursor (referred to as NCM), the representative model has NCM-523, NCM-622, NCM-811, etc., including digital 523, 622, 811 represent the proportion of three elements of nickel cobalt manganese. |
