Nickel chloride is an inorganic chemical compound that has several applications associated with organic synthesis, metal coating, and other commercial operations. The compound acts as a chemical intermediate and reacts with various organic and inorganic compounds to yield nickel complexes. It is used in organic synthesis of various metallic and non-metallic chemicals.

Moreover, it is also used for electroplating nickel onto other metal surfaces in the metal industry. It is used as a chemical reagent in the electrolytic refining of nickel, as an absorber of ammonia gas in industrial gas masks, and for nickel plating cast zinc. It is also used in the manufacture of various chemical reactions that lead to the production of complex nickel salts.

The market for nickel chloride is predominantly driven by its applications in electroplating processes, coating metal surfaces, as an agent in electrolytic refining of nickel, and as a chemical intermediate for producing nickel catalysts and complex nickel salts, which significantly promotes its market growth and increases its demand in the metal, electroplating, metallurgical, and chemical manufacturing industries.

Moreover, it is also used as an absorber of ammonia gas in industrial gas masks, which further propels its demand in the personal protective equipment industries. Furthermore, the availability and cost of production of nickel chloride's raw materials, which include (nickel and chlorine), nickel chloride market prices, regulatory approval for use, storage and handling requirements, transportation and logistics, quality and purity of nickel chloride, compliance with environmental standards, and sustainability practices, etc. affect the global industrial nickel chloride procurement.

Raw Material for Nickel Chloride Production

According to the Nickel chloride manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Nickel chloride production include Nickel Metal-Chlorine.

Manufacturing Process of Nickel Chloride

The extensive Nickel chloride production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production by Thermal Reaction Between Nickel and Chlorine: The process is initiated by the direct chemical reaction of nickel metal with chlorine gas in a reactor at an elevated temperature, which results in the formation of nickel chloride as the final product.

Nickel Chloride is a brown to green-colored solid chemical that comprises one nickel and two chlorine atoms. It is a compound obtained by the thermal reaction between nickel and chlorine gas. It is a toxic chemical with a molecular weight of 129.60 g/mol. It is an organic solid chemical with no odor. Its boiling point is measured around 973 °C. Its melting point is measured around 1001 °C. It sublimes when heated at its boiling point. It is a deliquescent chemical that can absorb moisture in the presence of air. It exhibits a monoclinic crystal structure, which is hygroscopic in nature.

It is soluble in water and some of the other chemical solvents. It is soluble in solvents, including ammonium hydroxide and ethanol. However, it is insoluble in ammonia. Its density is 3.51 g/cm3. Its vapor pressure is measured around 1 mm Hg at 671 °C. It undergoes decomposition when heated at an elevated temperature. The compound releases highly toxic fumes of nickel carbonyl and hydrogen chloride on heating.

It is a deliquescent metallic slat that readily absorbs ammonia. It sublimes in the absence of air. It is an inorganic chemical salt that loses water on heating and turns anhydrous in nature. It can react with various compounds, combining with the anions to form nickel compounds. It reacts with weak acids and results in the formation of insoluble precipitates in the end.
