Describe a method forrefiningofnickel.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Whenimpure nickel is healted inacurrentofCOat330 - 350K, itformsvolatilenickeltetracarbonylcomplex leavingbehind the impurities. Thenickeltetracarbonylethus obtainedis thenheatedto ahighertemperature (450- 470K ), whenitundergoesthermaldecompositionto givepure nickel.
`underset ("Impurenickel")(NI) +4 COoverset (330 -350K ) tounderset ("Nickel tetracarbonyl")(Ni (CO)_4) overset (450 - 470K )tounderset ("PURE nickel ") (Ni ) +4 CO`.
Themethodiscommonlycalled as Mondprocess forrefiningof nickel.
