There is provided a zinc alloy powder for an alkaline cell, which is capable of decreasing the volume of hydrogen gas generated before and after the discharge of the cell to prevent an electrolyte in the cell from leaking, and a method for producing such a zinc alloy powder by heat-treating the powder in a short time. A zinc alloy powder consisting essentially of 0.0001 to 0.500 wt% of at least one element selected from the group consisting of aluminum, indium, gallium, thallium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, cadmium, tin and lead, 0.001 to 0.050 wt% of bismuth, and the balance being zinc and unavoidable impurities, is heat-treated at a higher temperature than 250 °C in an inert gas or reducing gas atmosphere. |
