Some nickel hydrogenphosphate hydrates were synthesized by the a wet chemical method of NiCO
3 2 Ni (OH)
2 (BNC) -H
3PO
4-H
2O system at 96°C, and their thermal changes were also investigated.
The synthetic process of nickel hydrogenphosphate hydrates was dependent on R (H
3PO
4/NiO ; molar ratio) and quantity of BNC. In case of BNC=37.6g, R=3 to 4, the initial product of the reaction was amorphous precipitate (NiHPO
4·nH
2O (n=3)) at the first hour within an hour, and then it was converted to Ni
3 (PO
4)
2.8 H
2O in 3 hours. When R=5 to 6, the amorphous precipitate was converted to NiHPO
4.3/2 H
2O in 5 hours. When BNC=75.2g and R=5 to 7, the amorphous precipitate changed to NiHPO
4.3 H
2O in 3 hours.
Their thermal changes were chemically formulated as follows;
