Uses
Nickel(II) carbonate is used in sulphamate baths, metal phosphating, electroplating and ceramic applications. It acts as a precursor to catalysts and an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification of nickel from its ores. Nickel carbonate is used to prepare nickel catalysts and several specialty
compounds of nickel. It also is used as a neutralizing agent in nickel plating
solutions. Other applications are in coloring glass and in the manufacture of
ceramic pigments.
