Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula H12N2NiO12 and CAS number 13478-00-7. This compound consists of nickel cations in the +2 oxidation state combined with nitrate anions and six water molecules of crystallization. It has a molecular weight of 290.8 g/mol and is classified as an oxidizing substance under transport regulations (ADR class 5.1, group III).

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate is a crystalline solid that typically appears as green crystals due to the presence of nickel(II) ions. The hexahydrate form indicates it contains six molecules of water per formula unit, which affects its stability and handling characteristics. As a nitrate salt, it is highly soluble in water and exhibits oxidizing properties, making it reactive with organic materials and reducing agents.

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate is primarily used in electroplating processes for nickel coating applications and as a precursor in the synthesis of nickel-based catalysts. It serves as a source of nickel ions in various chemical manufacturing processes, including the production of other nickel compounds. Additionally, it finds applications in specialized chemical reactions where both nickel ions and oxidizing properties are required in industrial processes.

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate should be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Work in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of dust particles. As an oxidizing substance, keep it away from combustible materials, organic compounds, and reducing agents. Use non-sparking tools and ensure proper grounding to prevent static electricity buildup during handling operations.

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate must be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed and separate from combustible materials, organic substances, and reducing agents due to its oxidizing properties. Store in original containers made of compatible materials and ensure adequate separation distances from incompatible chemicals to prevent dangerous reactions.

In case of skin contact with nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. For eye contact, rinse immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If inhaled, move the person to fresh air and seek medical advice. In case of ingestion, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention.

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate must be disposed of as hazardous waste through authorized waste management companies in compliance with local and European regulations. Due to its nickel content and oxidizing properties, it cannot be disposed of with regular waste. Contact specialized hazardous waste disposal services and ensure proper documentation. Recovery and recycling of nickel content may be possible through appropriate treatment facilities when economically viable.

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate is classified under ADR class 5.1 (oxidizing substances) packing group III for transport purposes. It must be packaged in appropriate UN-specification containers and labeled with the correct hazard labels. Transport documents must include the proper shipping name and UN number. Vehicles must comply with ADR requirements for class 5.1 substances, and drivers need appropriate hazardous goods training certification.

Nickel(2+);dinitrate;hexahydrate is subject to REACH regulation requiring registration for manufacture or import above certain tonnages in the EU. It must comply with CLP regulation for classification, labeling, and packaging requirements. The substance is not currently listed as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). Users must follow occupational safety regulations and may need to conduct chemical safety assessments depending on use patterns and exposure scenarios.
