In wastewater treatment, nickel oxide powder can be used as a catalyst to accelerate the decomposition and purification of wastewater. In waste gas treatment, nickel oxide powder can be used to absorb harmful substances in waste gas, such as sulfides and nitrides. In addition, nickel oxide powder can also be used to prepare environmentally friendly materials and sensors. In the field of environmental protection, the advantages of high efficiency, stability, and environmental protection of nickel oxide powder make it widely used.

Production Method of Nickel Oxide Powder：

Chemical method

The chemical method is one of the most common methods for producing nickel oxide powder. Nickel oxide powder is produced by chemical reaction using nickel salt solution as raw material. The specific steps are as follows:

The nickel salt solution (such as nickel nitrate, nickel chloride, etc.) is added to the reactor and stirred evenly.

Add an appropriate amount of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.) to the reactor and adjust the pH value of the solution to a predetermined range.

An appropriate amount of oxidizing agent (such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium nitrate, etc.) is added to the reactor to trigger the oxidation reaction.

After the reaction is completed, the generated nickel oxide powder is filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the required nickel oxide powder product.

The chemical method has the advantages of a mature process, simple operation, and low cost, so it is widely used in industry. However, the chemical method also has some disadvantages, such as difficulty in controlling the reaction conditions and low product purity.

Physical law

The physical process is another common method for producing nickel oxide powder. Nickel oxide powder is produced by high-temperature oxidation reaction using nickel as raw material. The specific steps are as follows:

Grind metal nickel into powder, and add an appropriate amount of accelerant (such as magnesium powder, aluminum powder, etc.).

The mixture is loaded into a crucible and sent to a high-temperature furnace for oxidation treatment.

At high temperatures, the metal nickel reacts with oxygen to form nickel oxide powder.

After the reaction is completed, the generated nickel oxide powder is removed, cooled, and dried to obtain the required nickel oxide powder product.

The physical method has the advantages of high product purity and controllable particle size, but it also has some disadvantages, such as high production cost and high energy consumption.

In actual production, suitable production methods can be selected according to market demand and production conditions. At the same time, production efficiency and product quality can be improved by improving the process and optimizing the equipment. With the continuous progress of science and the emergence of new technologies, the production method of nickel oxide powder will continue to improve and perfect.

In addition, for the needs of different application fields, nickel oxide powder products with specific properties and uses can be prepared by adjusting production process parameters and adding other elements. For example, nickel oxide magnetic materials with excellent magnetic properties can be prepared by adding zinc, cobalt, and other elements. The particle size and morphology of nickel oxide powder can be controlled by adjusting oxidation time and temperature.
