Nickel sulfate is a chemical compound that comes in the form of a salt. Typically, it is used in electroplating, as well as in the production of catalysts and as a precursor in the formulation of various chemicals. The production route involves the dissolution of nickel metal or nickel oxides in sulfuric acid. The quality of nickel sulfate can vary depending on its purity and water content (hexahydrate or anhydrous forms). It is generally available as a production mix at plant.
