    Abstract: Process for making a particulate (oxy)hydroxide of TM wherein TM represents metals, and wherein TM comprises nickel and at least one metal selected from cobalt and aluminum and manganese, wherein said process comprises the steps of:(a) combining an aqueous slurry of metallic nickel and at least one metal selected from cobalt and manganese and aluminum with an oxidant selected from nitrate and peroxide in a re-action vessel under an atmosphere with less than 100 ppm O2, thereby obtaining an aqueous reaction medium with a pH value in the range of from 7.5 to 12 containing parti-cles,(b) removing the particles from step (a) from the liquid by a solid-liquid separation method, and drying the particles, and (c) returning mother liquor obtained in step (b) to the reaction vessel.
