Application

Aluminum-nickel alloy can be used:
  • For the reduction of nitriles, nitro compounds and oximes to primary amines.
  • For the conversion of carbonyl compounds to hydrocarbons.
  • As a reducing agent to convert Ar-X derivatives to Ar-H compounds.
  • For the synthesis of Raney nickel catalyst to be used as an alkylating agent.
  • To synthesize non-pyrophoric Ni catalyst by alkali leaching.
  • For the synthesis of alloyed skeletal Ni catalysts.

Self-Propagating Reactions Induced by Mechanical Alloying

Mechanical alloying is a “brute force” method of affecting alloying and chemical reactions. The mixture of reactant powders and several balls are placed in the milling jar of a high-energy ball mill, for example, a shaker mill or a planetary mill.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
