摘要:
A process for production of metallic powder comprising contacting a metallic chloride gas with a reductive gas in a temperature range for a reducing reaction to form a metallic powder and subsequently contacting the metallic powder with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas to cool the powder, wherein the rate of cooling is 30° C. or more for temperatures from the temperature range for the reducing reaction to a temperature of 800°C. or less. The metallic powder is rapidly cooled, which results in suppression of agglomeration of particles in the metallic powder and the growth of secondary particles. Growth of particles of a metallic powder formed in a reduction process into secondary particles through agglomeration after the reduction process is suppressed, and a ultrafine metallic powder having a particle diameter of, for example, 1&mgr;m or less, can be reliably produced.

Chlorine gas from a supply nozzle is mixed with the vapor of nickel chloride and the mixed gas is supplied from a supply nozzle into a hydrogen gas atmosphere in a reduction reactor at a reduction temperature of 900 to 1100° C. The volume of chlorine gas to be mixed versus the vapor of nickel chloride is adjusted to a ratio of 0.01 to 0.5 moles per mole of the vapor of nickel chloride. The particle size of the nickel powder can be controlled appropriately, and also, uniformity of particle size, smoothability of surfaces of particles, and sphericity can be improved.
