摘要:
A process for the precipitation of metallic sulfides, e.g., nickel, cobalt or zinc sulfides, from aqueous metal-ion-containing solution comprising passing hydrogen sulfide through the metal-containing solution while the solution is at a temperature of about 75.degree. C. and at a pH of about 2 to about 3 and maintaining said pH during the time of hydrogen sulfide addition by continuous addition of alkali to the solution. The precipitated metal sulfide is characterized by a relatively large particle size by a high settling rate and by ease of filterability.
