The Nickel Institute has published advice to help prevent the release of nickel to air, water and landfill. UK-based consultant Bryan Fisher, who has 40 years of experience in the field, authored the paper “Avoid Nickel Plating Losses – Protect the Environment and Improve Profitability.” The paper is Technical Series No. 10 089 in the Nickel Institute’s series of papers and is available free of charge from its website. Topics include: the nature of losses, losses in liquid form (dragout and carry over), action required to prevent losses, losses to the atmosphere (nickel salts as aerosol mist), and losses to landfill.
