In one process that generates this element, it is purified in a reaction with carbon monoxide that forms its tetracarbonyl.
A complex of this element and phosphine catalyzes the first step of the Shell higher olefin process. Impurities of this element in Ziegler-Natta catalyst solutions cause early termination. In one process that generates this element, it is purified in a reaction with carbon monoxide that forms its tetracarbonyl. An porous alloy of this element and aluminum is used to desulfurize thioacetals. One device using this element has electrodes composed of this element's oxyhydroxide and a hydrogen-absorbing alloy. That device is this element's metal hydride cell. This metal can be extracted by reacting its oxide with hydrogen in the Mond process. For 10 points, name this element with atomic number 28 and symbol Ni.
