<p>Metal powder, recovered by electrodeposition in a basic medium, is conditioned, in the absence of air, by solids/liquid separation, water washing without passivating agent addition, solids/liquid separation and vacuum evaporative drying. Conditioning of metal powder, produced by electrodeposition in a basic medium, is carried out, in the absence of air, by: (a) subjecting the powder-containing basic solution to solids/liquid separation (17); (b) subjecting the solid fraction (11) to water washing-dewatering operations (16-19), without passivating agent addition, until the wash solution (20) has the desired low pH value; (c) carrying out a further solids/liquid separation (21); and (d) subjecting the recovered wet solid fraction (18) to low temperature vacuum evaporative drying (22) until a fluid metal powder is obtained.</p> |
