<p>A method of producing a fine, low bulk density nickel powder, comprising a) charging particles of at least one reducible nickel salt within a furnace so as to form a moving bed of furnace charge, and b) reducing the furnace charge with a H<SUB>2</SUB> containing gas at a temperature ranging from about 300°C to about 500°C, the bed of furnace charge being moved gently so as to minimise formation of hard agglomerates and obtaining a fine, low bulk density nickel powder. A similar method, wherein the furnace charge is static and contained within a shallow bed.</p> |
