When carbon monoxide is passed over red hot iron at 120°C, a reaction occurs to form a compound called iron carbonyl. This process is known as the Mond process and is used for the purification of nickel. Iron carbonyl is a volatile compound that can be easily separated, leaving behind purified nickel.
