It’s mainly used in electro-nickeling and preparation of ceramic colored glaze and other nickel salt and catalyst containing nickel, etc.
1. Catalyst: It is used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, including organic synthesis and the production of certain chemicals.
2. Electroplating: Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is used in the electroplating process to deposit nickel on the surface for corrosion resistance and improved appearance.
3. Fertilizer: It can be used as a source of nickel in fertilizers, which is important for certain plants that require nickel as a micronutrient.
4.Pigments: Nickel nitrate is used to produce nickel-based pigments, which are used in ceramics and glass.
5. Research: It is used in laboratories for a variety of research applications, including research related to nickel compounds and their properties.
6. Battery Production: Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is sometimes used in the production of nickel-based batteries, such as nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Nickel nitrate hexahydrate is green crystal.
It’s easy in moisture absorption.
It disintegrates in dry air.
It decomposes into tetrahydrate by losing four water molecules and then converts into anhydrous salt at temperature of 100℃.
It’s easily dissolved in water, soluble in alcohol, and slightly soluble in acetone.
Its aqueous solution is acidity.
It will burn once in contact with organic chemicals.
It’s harmful to swallow.

Storage precautions Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse.
Keep away from fire and heat sources.
The storage temperature does not exceed 30℃, and the relative humidity does not exceed 80%.
The packaging must be sealed and protected from moisture.
It should be stored separately from reducing agents and acids and avoid mixed storage.
The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain the leakage.
1. Its aqueous solution is acidic (pH=4). It is moisture-absorbing, deliquescence quickly in humid air, and slightly weathered in dry air. It loses 4 crystal water when heated, and decomposes into basic salt when the temperature is higher than 110 ℃, and continues to heat to form a mixture of brown-black nickel trioxide and green nickel oxide. It can cause combustion and explosion when it comes in contact with organic matter. poisonous. According to the humidity in the air, it can be weathered or deliquescent. It will dissolve in crystal water when heated to about 56.7℃.
soluble in water. It is also soluble in ethanol and ammonia.
2. Stability and stability
3. Incompatibility: strong reducing agent, strong acid
4. Conditions to avoid contact with heat
5. Polymerization hazards, no polymerization
6. Decomposition products nitrogen oxides
Yes, nickel nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O) is considered hazardous. Here are some key points about its hazards:
1. Toxicity: Nickel compounds, including nickel nitrate, are toxic if ingested or inhaled. Long-term exposure may cause nickel allergy or other health problems.
2. Corrosive: Nickel nitrate is irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Contact may cause burns or irritation.
3.Environmental impact: Nickel nitrate is harmful to aquatic life and can cause environmental pollution if not handled properly.
4. Carcinogenicity: Nickel compounds are classified as potential carcinogens, especially certain forms of nickel compounds, and exposure should be minimized.
Because of these hazards, it is important to follow safety guidelines when handling nickel nitrate hexahydrate, including using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), working in a well-ventilated area, and complying with all relevant safety regulations.
