    摘要: Provided is anhydrous nickel chloride having a total content of impurity elements other than gas components of less than 10 wt. ppm; each content of boron, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, potassium, calcium, titanium, chromium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, arsenic, silver, cadmium, indium, tin, thallium and lead of less than 1 wt. ppm, which can be produced by a method for producing anhydrous nickel chloride comprising the steps of carrying out ion exchange membrane electrolysis in an anolyte and a catholyte separated by an anion exchange membrane using raw metal nickel as an anode, a conductive material as a cathode and high purity hydrochloric acid as an electrolytic solution, to obtain a nickel chloride solution as the anolyte; concentrating the obtained nickel chloride solution by heating it at 80 to 100° C. under atmospheric pressure to obtain a concentrated nickel chloride solution; and dehydrating and drying the resulting concentrated nickel chloride solution by heating it at 180 to 220° C. under atmospheric pressure to obtain anhydrous nickel chloride.
