Abstract: The precipitation of nickel hydroxy carbonate on silica has been carried out using NiSO4 and Na2CO3 under varying conditions of temperature and pH. Thermal and infrared studies show a shift of carbonate rich to hydroxide-rich composition as the severity of precipitation medium increases. The doublet band at 1050 and 1000 cm-1 in the IR spectrum of silica-supported nickel catalyst is assigned to the silicate species bonded to Ni-O-C-O and Ni-O-H groups respectively. The IR spectra of samples with high CO / (OH) ratio exhibit a strong band at 1050cm-1; this disappears more rapidly compared to the band at 1000 cm-1 when the reduction temperature is increased from 200 to 450°C. Therefore, a strong interaction between Ni(OH)2 and silicate species is supported by infrared studies.
