Fluid bed roasting and chlorine-hydrogen reduc-tion produce high-grade nickel oxides (more than 95% nickel). Vapor processes such as the carbo-nyl process can be used to produce high-purity
Pure nickel is a hard, silvery-white metal, which has properties that make it very desirable for combining with other metals to form mixtures called alloys. Some of the metals that nickel can be alloyed with are iron, copper, chromium, and zinc. These alloys are used in making metal coins and jewelry and in industry for making items such as valves and heat exchangers.
