Filed:
Nov 19, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/633236
Inventors:

Abstract:
An improved method is provided for efficiently precipitating metal powder selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt and copper from aqueous solutions using sulfur-free hydrogen at elevated pressure and temperature, the improvement residing in adding to the solution a small but effective amount of a catalyst as an anti-plating agent, said catalyst comprising an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a copolymer of maleic acid anhydride and an unsaturated branched chain aliphatic olefinic hydrocarbon containing 4 to 10 carbon atoms.
