Synthesis and Characterization of Uniform Fine Particles of Nickel Compounds

Nickel oxalate particles were prepared by mixing aqueous solutions of nickel sulfate and oxalic acid at 25 and 85 °C. Effect of composition of the reacting solutions and pH of the resulting dispersion was evaluated on morphology of the precipitated particles. Besides these parameters, isoelectric point of the nickel oxalate played a major role in the particles build up. On control heating at 340 °C, the nickel oxalate particles converted into nickel oxide particles while preserving their particles' integrity to a maximum extent. Selected batches of the as-prepared and heat-treated particles were characterized by various physical methods.
