  2. Raney nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raney_nickel

    Even after reaction, residual Raney nickel contains significant amounts of hydrogen gas and may spontaneously ignite when exposed to air. [27] Additionally, acute exposure to Raney nickel may cause irritation of the respiratory tract and nasal cavities, and causes pulmonary fibrosis if inhaled. Ingestion may lead to convulsions and intestinal ...

  3. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    Used hydrogenation catalysts such as palladium on carbon or Raney nickel (especially hazardous because of the adsorbed hydrogen) Iron(II) sulfide: often encountered in oil and gas facilities, where corrosion products in steel plant equipment can ignite if exposed to air; Lead and carbon powders produced from decomposition of lead citrate [5] [6]

  4. Mozingo reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozingo_reduction

    The cyclic dithioacetal structure is then hydrogenolyzed using Raney nickel. Raney nickel is converted irreversibly to nickel sulfide. This method is milder than either the Clemmensen or Wolff-Kishner reductions, which employ strongly acidic or basic conditions, respectively, that might interfere with other functional groups. [4]

    Raney nickel is a solid catalyst composed of fine grains of a nickel-aluminium alloy, used in many industrial processes.It was developed in 1926 by American engineer Murray Raney as an alternative catalyst for the hydrogenation of vegetable oils in industrial processes.

    The treatment is exposure and response prevention — you have to expose yourself in some way to that feared situation and prevent your usual responses, which only make the phobia worse.

  8. Alkaline water electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_water_electrolysis

    Typically, Nickel based metals are used as the electrodes for alkaline water electrolysis. [15] Considering pure metals, Ni is the least active non-noble metal. [16] The high price of good noble metal electrocatalysts such as platinum group metals and their dissolution during the oxygen evolution [17] is a drawback.
