UsesNickel Sulfate is used to make other Nickel compounds, as a mordant, in dyeing and printing textiles, in nickel plating, in coloring metals, in ceramics and for producing driers for use in protective coatings.
DescriptionNickel sulphate appears as blue to blue-green transparent crystals and is an odourless soluble nickel salt. Nickel sulphate is incompatible with strong acids. Nickel sulphate has extensive industrial applications in nickel patch testing, in nickel plating, as a raw material for the production of catalysts, in dyeing and printing fabrics as a mordant, and for blackening zinc and brass and in jewellery manufacture.
OccurrenceNickel sulfate heptahydrate occurs in nature as the mineral morenosite.Probably, the most important uses of nickel sulfate are as an electrolyte in nickel plating and electrorefining. Nickel sulfate also is used as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. Other uses are in the preparation of many nickel compounds and nickel catalysts; as a reducing agent; for imparting nickel coating or flashing on steel surface; and for blackening zinc and brass.
UsesNickel sulfate (NiSO4) exists in different states depending on its hydrated forms (where water molecules bond with ions in suspended substances). Nickel sulfate can be in the form of greenish-yellow, blue, or green crystals, depending upon the degree of hydration. It is used in nickel-plating iron and copper, as a catalyst, as a mordant in the textile industry, and as a coating for other substances.
UsesManufacture of nickel ammonium sulfate, nickel catalysts, nickel plating, mordant in dyeing and printing textiles, coatings, ceramics.
General DescriptionAnhydrous Nickel sulfate is a yellow-green crystalline solid. Nickel sulfate can also be obtained as a hexahydrate (NiSO4.6H2O (CAS: 10101-97-0) which is blue to emerald green, and as a heptahydrate (NiSO4.7H2O) (CAS: 10101-98-1) , which is green. Samples can contain variable quantities of water, depending on their previous exposure to moisture or conditions. All forms are mildly toxic and are carcinogenic. All are denser than water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Used to make other nickel compounds, in printing, and in dyeing of textiles.

PreparationNickel sulfate can be made by several methods. It is prepared by dissolving nickel metal, its oxide, or its carbonate in sulfuric acid. In such methods, powdered metal or black nickel oxide is added to hot dilute sulfuric acid, or nickel carbonate is added to dilute sulfuric acid at ambient temperature: NiO + H2SO4 → NiSO4 + H2O NiCO3 + H2SO4 → NiSO4 + CO2 + H2O Impurities may be precipitated by treating the diluted solution with barium carbonate. Evaporation followed by cooling crystallizes hexahydrate in two modifications: blue tetragonal crystals obtained between 31.5 and 53.3°C, and above 53.3°C green monoclinic crystals form. The heptahydrate, NiSO4•7H2O, crystallizes at ordinary temperatures from pure aqueous solutions. Nickel sulfate also can be produced in large-scale by gas phase reaction of nickel tetracarbonyl, sulfur dioxide, and oxygen at 100°C: Ni(CO)4 + SO2 + O2 → NiSO4 + 4CO
DefinitionChEBI: A metal sulfate having nickel(2+) as the metal ion. Nickel sulfate, NiS04, is either yellow-green crystals which are soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol and ether,or blue,emerald-green, or green crystals which are soluble in water and alcohol. Derivation is by action of sulfuric acidonnickel. Used in the manufacture of nickel ammonium sulfate, nickel catalysts, nickel plating, and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles, coatings,and ceramics.
