General description

Major phase is Ni3S2. Product may also include a small amount of sulfur-rich phase. Nickel Sulfide (Ni3S2) exists as a heazlewoodite mineral in nature. The structure of Ni3S2 is hombohedral. Raman spectral analysis of Ni3S2 has been reported.

Application

Nickel sulfide was implanted in mice, to induce the growth of malignant fibrous histiocytomas.

In the past, exposure of workers to mixtures of soluble and insoluble nickel compounds by inhalation during nickel refining correlated with increased incidences of lung and nasal cancers. Insoluble nickel subsulfide and nickel oxide (NiO) are carcinogenic in animals by

Differential display polymerase chain reaction (DD-PCR) was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes from nickel-transformed human embryonic lung (HEL) cells (MRC-9 and IMR-90) and their control counterparts (non-treated). Two genes, MS515 and IC82, were confirmed by Northern blot analysis.
