  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a fine, low bulk density, unagglomerated or friable, metallic nickel powder by reducing, in a hydrogen containing gas, a furnace charge that is either static or moved gently so as to minimise the average kinetic energy of these freshly reduced particles.
  • particle designate any small piece or part of a flowable material, such as a powder.
  • agglomerate refers to a group of individual particles sticking together to form either a soft or hard lump.
  • the term "fine” means that at least about 45% of the powder would pass through a 100 mesh (149 microns) screen, with essentially no remaining hard agglomerates in the +100 mesh fraction.
  • the term "low bulk density” means a bulk density of 4 g/cc or less.
  • nickel powders obtained by the method of the present invention have a bulk density between about 0.5 and about 2 g/cc.
  • nickel powders obtained by the method of the present invention have a bulk density between about 0.5 and about 1.6 g/cc.
  • the term “shallow” defines a depth of powder charge that would allow the penetration of reducing gas into the bed. Usually, such static shallow bed is about 2.5 cm deep or less.
  • the screening measures referred to in this application were performed on a well-known Ro-TapTM machine, in which the screens are shaken and tapped.
  • the screening period used was usually 20 min.
  • the method according to the present invention utilizes either a static or slowly moving furnace charge.
  • the method itself can be performed either continuously or batch- wise.
  • the reduction temperature ranges from about 300 0 C to about
  • 500 0 C preferably from about 350°C to about 450 0 C.
  • the reducing gas contains at least
  • the hydrogen containing gas is preheated before entering the kiln.
  • the feed of reducible nickel salt is calcinated in a nitrogen or other inert gas atmosphere at a temperature ranging from about 300 to about 350 0 C. This is done in either the first compartment of the furnace or in a separate furnace.
  • Such calcination of the feed drives off carbon dioxide gas from the nickel carbonate in the v feed and thus allows separate scrubbing and removal of carbon dioxide. This simplifies the cleaning of the off-gas from the reduction step and allows the recycling of unused hydrogen.
  • FIG. 4 One of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is illustrated on Figure 4.
  • the dry free flowing powder of reducible nickel salt (1) is calcinated in a first furnace in presence of nitrogen gas (2).
  • the off-gas of calcination (4) essentially contains CO 2 , CO, H 2 O and N 2 .
  • the hot calcine (3) is then transferred into a second furnace, namely the reduction kiln, so as to form a bed of furnace charge.
  • H 2 gas (5) is advantageously passed into the static or slowly moving bed of furnace charge, and an excess of H 2 is advantageously used.
  • Such a process allows obtaining a fine, low bulk density nickel powder (6). Thanks to the separate calcination step, the off-gas of the reduction kiln only contains H 2 and H 2 O, which allows an easy H 2 recycling.
  • composition of the feed of reducible nickel salt used in the method of the present invention may of course influence the final bulk density and fineness of the nickel powder product.
  • the bulk density of the nickel powder product increased as the total amount of inert impurities in the feed material decreased.
  • Inert impurities are typically various amounts of carbonate/chloride/sulphate salts of sodium/magnesium/calcium. This is illustrated in Table 1 below.
  • the bulk density of nickel powder product decreased from 1.2 g/cc to 0.5 g/cc as the total amount of inert impurities increased from about 10 wt% (well-washed nickel carbonate) to about 30 wt%
  • the feed composition also has an influence on the fineness of the metallic nickel powder product, as illustrated in Table 2 below.
  • Table 2 shows that, as the degree of washing of the nickel carbonate decreases, and therefore the inert impurity content increases, the nickel powder obtained according to the process of the present invention becomes much finer. Indeed, at least 99% of the final product obtained from a poorly washed nickel carbonate feed (about 30 wt% inert impurities) pass through a 100 mesh screen.
  • the reducible nickel salts used in the method of the present invention are preferably nickel carbonate, nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide, nickel oxalate.
  • nickel carbonate nickel oxide
  • nickel hydroxide nickel oxalate
  • any other fine, low density nickel compound that is reduced to a metallic state in hydrogen gas below 500 0 C can also be used.
  • nickel chloride may be used.
  • nickel chloride either hydrated or not, or other reducible nickel salts that happen to melt or become sticky below 500 0 C, can be used as feed in the method of the present invention only when used in combination with at least another reducible nickel salt of the above category, such as the preferred cited salts.
  • Peripheral velocity internal diameter x Pi x rotation rate (cm/min) (cm) (rpm)
  • the bulk densities of nickel powders produced in the rotating kiln used in this example varied between 0.46 and 1.58 g/cc, as shown in Table 3 below.
  • EXAMPLE 3 Fine, low bulk density nickel powders were prepared according to the method of the present invention in a rotating kiln with an internal diameter of about 61 cm (24 inches). In a continuous process, 7 to 8 kg per hour of nickel carbonate were fed to the kiln. The reduction temperature was 350 to 400 0 C in the first half of the kiln and 450°C in the second half of the kiln. Hydrogen and nitrogen gases were fed at 85 and 42.5 lpm, respectively, in the kiln rotating at 0.125 rpm, corresponding to a peripheral velocity of 23.9 cm/min. The residence time of the feed in the kiln was about 20 hours.
  • peripheral velocity used in the kiln having an internal diameter of 61 cm was higher than that used with the smaller diameter kilns (examples 1 and 2) so that an acceptable economical powder production rate could be achieved.
  • nickel powder was produced using two passes through the kiln. During the first pass, preheating in nitrogen gas was used to drive off carbon dioxide from the nickel carbonate in the feed material. In the second pass through the kiln, the furnace charge was reduced with hydrogen gas to a low bulk density nickel powder.
  • Typical kiln conditions for the preheating step were as follows: kiln rotation rate 0.22 rpm, kiln slope 0.014 feet/foot, kiln shell temperatures feed end: 330 0 C, product end 450 to 460 0 C, nitrogen gas flow 100 litres per minute, CO2 in off gas 22 volume %, feed rate 16 to 17 kg/hour.
