Patent ID: 10850330

Abstract:
A process for producing nickel powder capable of obtaining inexpensive, and also, high-performance nickel powder, even when using wet process. A process for producing nickel powder, including a crystallization step for obtaining nickel crystal powder by reductive reaction in reaction solution in which at least water-soluble nickel salt, metal salt of metal more noble than nickel, reducing agent, alkali hydroxide, amine compound, and water are mixed, wherein the reducing agent to be mixed in the crystallization step is hydrazine, the amine compound is autolysis inhibitor of hydrazine, and contains two or more primary amino groups in molecule, or contains one primary amino group and one or more secondary amino groups in molecule, and ratio of molar number of the amine compound with respect to molar number of nickel in the reaction solution is in a range of 0.01 mol % to 5 mol %.
