Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a process for removing magnesium contained as an impurity from nickel sulfate and producing high-purity nickel sulfate. The process for producing an aqueous nickel sulfate solution from which magnesium is removed from nickel sulfate, comprises the following steps (1) to (3):
(1) a carbonation step obtaining a slurry comprising nickel carbonate as a solid content by mixing a nickel sulfate aqueous solution and lithium carbonate, (2) a solid-liquid separation step of separating the slurry obtained in the carbonation step into a solid content and liquid component, and (3) a dissolution step dissolving the solid content obtained in said solid-liquid separation step with a solution containing sulfuric acid.

A soft magnetic material is a soft magnetic material including a composite magnetic particle (30) having a metal magnetic particle (10) mainly composed of Fe and an insulating coating (20) covering metal magnetic particle (10), and insulating coating (20) contains an iron phosphate compound and an aluminum phosphate compound. The atomic ratio of Fe contained in a contact surface of insulating coating (20) in contact with metal magnetic particle (10) is larger than the atomic ratio of Fe contained in the surface of insulating coating (20). The atomic ratio of Al contained in the contact surface of insulating coating (20) in contact with metal magnetic particle (10) is smaller than the atomic ratio of Al contained in the surface of insulating coating (20). Thus, iron loss can be reduced.
