About 80% of nickel is produced from sulphide ores of copper and nickel.
Properties & Applications
The nanowires are used in healthcare and medical technology. Nickel nanowires are used in the filtration of the virus, the production of liposomes and other complex medical procedures. Nickel is a particularly good material to be used for medical nanowires because of its anti-corrosive properties. Nickel is not only used in wireless technology to provide strength and corrosion resistance, it is in other everyday objects. Nickel is added to the glass for the green color, creating a decorative effect. It is also used in the vegetable oil to create the hydrogenation.
