What is nickel

August 16, 2012

Billions of years ago, nickel formed in supernova explosions, and that is unique in nature have a high enough temperature and pressure conditions for the formation of nickel atoms. Nickel is the fifth most abundant natural element on Earth, nickel ore can be foundin the meteorite, in depths and surface of the Earth. The nickel content in the natural environment with the different geographical location were significantly different.   

Like other metals, nickel, exist in nature in the form of ores. These ore have been mined, featuring nickel smelting or chemically processed and extracted. Nickel resources distribution mainly in Russia, Canada, Australia, New Caledonia, Indonesia, Cuba, China, the Dominican Republic, Botswana, Colombia, Greece and Brazil. In Japan, United Kingdom, Finland and France also nickel refining. After melting, the nickel ore is usually produced iron and steel raw materials (nickel-iron) or further refined into a nickel metal or chemicals. High-purity nickel, nickel powder and nickel chemicals produced by specialized refineries.  

Nickel has a unique integrated performance, through it to family, food production, transportation, energy and manufacturing contributions in economy and society has a very important significance. Every year new production of nickel 85% and most of the regeneration for the production of nickel alloy material. Stainless steel is the most famous of these alloy. The most common stainless steel steel grade nickel 8% - 12%. Because the stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, and is widely used in food industry and family (sink, and the vessels), construction (architecture structure and decoration), medical and health care (pharmaceutical equipment and medical equipment), food processing and brewing equipment and the whole industry. Nickel powder is used as a metal bond diamond tools. It should be the high-purity ultrafine nickel powder, some metal powder suppliers possible mixed with other metals also.   

Every day we are through the dietary intake of nickel, because nickel is a natural part of the diet. The crops need and used nickel appear in every day we eat food, especially beans, peas, lentils, cocoa products (chocolate) and oats. Therefore, every day we will absorb 150-300 micrograms of nickel. You use nickel products in every day. You cooking food are using nickel in every day. Consumers will encounter in the form of alloy, existing nickel in everyday life, such as cooking utensils and tableware. These instruments used stainless steel, the excellent corrosion resistance can provide necessary health conditions, avoid food poisoning, ensure food will not be polluted..

Brief introduction of biotin

August 10, 2012

Biotin, also known as vitamin H, coenzyme R. It is a sulfur-containing water-soluble vitamin, and is widely distributed in animal and plant tissues. Biotin also called biocytin, it is the carrier of carboxyl groups in the carboxylation reaction of many ATP. Animals lack of biotin can cause skin diseases and hair removal. Egg proteins contain biotin and avidin protein closely. So if you are eating a lot of raw eggs, can impede the absorption of biotin, so as to cause biotin deficiency. In norm...
