Mond Process

Metallurgical Engineering

The Mond process, sometimes called the carbonyl process, is a technique the chemist Ludwig Mond created in 1890 to extract and purify nickel by converting nickel oxide into pure nickel metal in a single-step procedure named for the nickel carbonyl compound it forms as an intermediate. The International Nickel Company commercially operated the process by the late nineteenth century at its works in the Sudbury Basin in Ontario, Canada.
