Digitalfire will shut down on June 26. I no longer have the authority to grant exemption to a section in the Terms and Conditions of using material in the Insight-Live account from which I built the source material. While there are ways to comply with the take-down order, they are beyond my means because of how complex and large the site has become in the past 35+ years. It has been a wild ride for a shy prairie boy, thanks to everyone for your support. Insight-live.com is not affected by this.

Nickel Carbonate

Alternate Names: NiCO₃

Oxide	Analysis	Formula
NiO	62.93%	1.00
CO2	37.07%	n/a
Oxide Weight		74.70

Notes

Used as a colorant in ceramic glazes and glasses.
Watch out for glaze blistering, this generates a lot of gases of decomposition.

Typecodes	Generic Material Generic materials are those with no brand name. Normally they are theoretical, the chemistry portrays what a specimen would be if it had no contamination. Generic materials are helpful in educational situations where students need to study material theory (later they graduate to dealing with real world materials). They are also helpful where the chemistry of an actual material is not known. Often the accuracy of calculations is sufficient using generic materials.
Typecodes	Colorant Metallic based materials that impart fired color to glazes and bodies.
