• Inhalation Risk: Evaporation at 20 °C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: The substance is irritating to the skin.
• Effects of Long Term Exposure: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Repeated or prolonged inhalation may cause asthma. The substance may have effects on the lungs. This substance is carcinogenic to humans if inhaled.
• Physical properties: NiCO3: Light green rhombohedral crystals; decomposes on heating; practically insoluble in water, 93 mg/L at 25°C; dissolves in acids.2NiCO3?3Ni(OH)2?4H2O: Light green crystals or brown powder; decomposes on heating; insoluble in water; decomposes in hot water; soluble in acids and in ammonium salts solutions.Zaratite: Emerald greed cubic crystals; density 2.6 g/cm3; insoluble in water; soluble in ammonia and dilute acids.
• Uses: Nickel(II) carbonate is used in sulphamate baths, metal phosphating, electroplating and ceramic applications. It acts as a precursor to catalysts and an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification of nickel from its ores. Nickel carbonate is used to prepare nickel catalysts and several specialty compounds of nickel. It also is used as a neutralizing agent in nickel plating solutions. Other applications are in coloring glass and in the manufacture of ceramic pigments.
