NICKEL
has much of interest to chemical and allied industries, either by itself or in numerous corrosion-resistant alloys of high strength and fabricability for the construction of equipment for process operations and facilities for transportation and storage. Nickel catalysts have industrial value in vegetable and animal oil processing, petroleum refining, and in producing petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, which is out of a l l proportion to the moderate but increasing tonnage of the element so used. The value of its oxide in ceramics, principally for the promotion OF adherence of ground-coat vitreous enamels i s well known, but uses for nickel compounds in synthetic rubber formulations, dyestuffs, and other fields are less appreciated. The Nickel Symposium brings together previously known and considerable new information of value and adds t o the record of the Diamond Jubilee Meeting a commemorative interest in the discovery of nickel, in 1751, b y the Swedish scientist A x e l Fredrik Cronstedt. 0.
