Abstract

In a process for producing fine cobalt metal powder from scrap material containing brazing compositions, the scrap is digested with hydrochloric acid to form a cobalt chloride solution which the silver is removed by precipitation with a suitable alkali metal halide at a pH of about 7 to result in a cobalt amine chloride solution which is further processed to fine cobalt powder.
