Abstract

A method for producing pure cobalt metal powder involves the removal of divalent cationic impurities from a trivalent hexamine cobalt chloride solution. This solution is then decomposed to an insoluble cobalt oxide-containing material, from which pure cobalt metal powder is obtained through a chemical reduction process.
