Synthetic Nickel Oxide Agglomerates
Synthetic nickel oxide agglomerates are synthetic agglomerates made from precipitated nickel hydroxide dried and sintered, providing high-purity oxide for specialty alloy production. Unlike natural ore sinters, these have controlled impurity profiles, and are classified as intermediate products of nickel metallurgy.
