Nickel (Ni) is a transition element that exhibits a
mixture of ferrous and nonferrous metal properties.
It is both siderophile (i.e., associates with iron) and
chalcophile (i.e., associates with sulfur).
The bulk of the nickel mined comes from two types of ore deposits:
laterites where the principal ore minerals are nickeliferous
limonite [(Fe,Ni)O(OH)] and garnierite (a hydrous nickel
silicate), or
magmatic sulfide deposits where
the principal ore mineral is pentlandite [(Ni,Fe)9S8].
The ionic radius of divalent nickel is close to that of
divalent iron and magnesium, allowing the three elements to
substitute for one another in the crystal lattices of some
silicates and oxides.
Nickel sulfide deposits are generally associated with
iron- and magnesium-rich rocks called ultramafics and can
be found in both volcanic and plutonic settings.
Many of the sulfide deposits occur at great depth.
Laterites are formed by the weathering of ultramafic rocks
and are a near-surface phenomenon.
Most of the nickel on Earth is believed to be concentrated in
the planet's core.
Nickel is primarily sold for first use as refined metal
(cathode, powder, briquet, etc.) or ferronickel.
About 65% of the nickel consumed in the Western World is used
to make austenitic stainless steel. Another 12%
goes into superalloys (e.g., Inconel 600) or nonferrous
alloys (e.g., cupronickel). Both families of alloys
are widely used because of their corrosion resistance.
The aerospace industry is a leading consumer of nickel-base
superalloys. Turbine blades, discs and other
critical parts of jet engines are fabricated from
superalloys. Nickel-base superalloys are also used
in land-based combustion turbines, such those found at
electric power generation stations. The remaining
23% of consumption is divided between alloy steels,
rechargeable batteries, catalysts and other chemicals,
coinage, foundry products, and plating. The
principal commercial chemicals are the carbonate (NiCO3),
chloride (NiCl2), divalent oxide (NiO), and sulfate (NiSO4). In aqueous solution, the divalent nickel ion has an emerald-green color.
