What it is
Ludwig Mond discovered that nickel reacts with carbon monoxide to form a gas, nickel carbonyl, which decomposes on heating to leave highly pure metallic nickel.
What it led to

- International Nickel Company's Sudbury plant
- Metal carbonyl refining methods
- The nickel industry in Wales (Clydach)
