At high temperature carbon reacts with water to prodcue a mixture of carbon monoxide, CO and hydrogen, `H_(2)`.  `C+H_(2)O overset("red heat")to CO+H_(2)` CO is separted from `H_(2)` and then used to separtee nickel from cobalt by forming a volatile compound, nickel tetracarbonyl, `Ni(CO__(3))` `Ni+4CO to Ni(CO)_(4)`  Formation of volatile `Ni(CO)_(4)` and its subsquent heating give Ni. Process is called
