Iridium is obtained as a by-product in the nickel or copper production.
Nickel is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth's crust. It is typically found in combination with other elements in minerals such as garnierite and pentlandite. These mineral deposits are mined and processed to extract nickel for various industrial applications.
You can find the most Iron and nickel in the earth's inner and outer core.
Nickel ore is mined and crushed. It may be purified through the Mond Process. The crushed ore (NiO) is heated with hydrogen (H2) gas to remove oxygen. The impure metal is then exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) gas. The CO gas forms Ni(CO)4, also known as liquid death. Upon heating, Ni(CO)4 decomposes to Ni0 and carbon monoxide.
It is supposed that the Earth core is composed from iron and nickel.
The core of the Earth consists mostly of iron and nickel. It is divided into the outer core (liquid iron-nickel alloy) and the inner core (solid iron-nickel alloy).
The Earth's core, specifically the outer core, is believed to contain the most nickel. This is based on studies of the Earth's composition and the behavior of nickel under high pressure and temperature conditions found in the core.
No. The Earth's core is composed of iron and nickel.
Although we can not see them, we know from certain meteorites (Nickel/Iron meteorites) and from the density measurements of the rocks we see at the Earth's surface compared to the mass of the whole planet that the two most abundant elements in the Earth's core must be Iron and Nickel. Iron being the predominant of the two.
