Nickel carbonate

Nickel carbonate (CAS 3333-67-3) is an inorganic nickel salt used in metallurgical, catalytic, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Where is Nickel carbonate used?

• Catalyst production: precursor for nickel-based catalysts and nickel oxides
• Catalyst manufacturing: calcined to nickel oxide or reduced to active nickel metal catalysts
• Hydrogenation and reforming processes
• Electroplating: pH buffer and nickel ion source in plating bath formulations
• Ceramic and glass: nickel-derived pigmentation in specialty glazes and frits
• Personal care: limited specialty formulations requiring controlled nickel ion activity
• Electroplating operations use it to maintain bath stability and deposit quality.

Good to know: Controlled nickel content and purity are critical sourcing parameters for electroplating intermediates.

Commercial specifications

• Technical and high-purity grades
• Minimum NiCO₃ assay levels
• Purity grades from technical to reagent quality
• Drums or bulk quantities
