Yes, Rossi buys it from a specialist. Here is the web site of Rossi’s supplier , if anyone are interested.
http://www.gerlimetalli.it/inglese/ihome.htm AFAIK – they will not sell you the “special Rossi blend” unless they have changed their policy, now that he has sold the rights… From: Bob Higgins What I meant is that Rossi doesn't make is own starting (un-catalyzed) Ni particles, he buys them. The Ni powder he buys is produced by the manufacturer from precipitation of liquid nickel tetracarbonyl. The powder produced by this process is just pure Ni having a high external surface area in a 4-10 micron flower bud form. It is commonly referred to as "carbonyl nickel" because it was produced from that process. That Rossi just buys this pure "carbonyl Ni" powder is my assertion. Bob Cook wrote: You said, “I don't believe Rossi uses the carbonyl process,…” I assume you mean Rossi DOES use the carbonyl process to make his nickel particles.
