I notice in Rossi's patents, he specifies the Nickel was from :

Has anyone here tried to find out what kinds of nickel they make.
Carbonyl nickel? special alloys?
Do they really make nano sized materials or is it just nickel
powders (like
in the patent pictures of 10 micron).
No nano nor Raney Ni shown. :-(

.... Rossi's patents show particles of 10 microns not nano.
(he mentions nano in claims but that is not what the pictures show)
I don't think that he was rich enough to get a liter of nano nickel
for these experiments.
--- a dollar or two per gram if you are lucky.
Right now I would guess he just used carbonyl produced nickel as
used in powder metallurgy.
Something like- Vale Inco Products -Nickel Powder Type 123
It looks close to his photos.
Gerli Metalli listed in the patent is associated with Vale.
Now perhaps some investigative type might see if Gerli Metalli will
just sell "us" some nickel
the same as they sold Rossi...... if they are not restricted some
how from telling.
They might enjoy the business

Notice the limited list of Ni products advertized:
http://www.gerlimetalli.it/inglese/ihome.htm
They offer 4" x 4" and 2" x 2" plates, "Bricchettes", and the rest of
the products are alloys. DOn't know what "Bricchettes" means, except
bruschetta is italian for "roasted over coals". Maybe it means it is
directly reduced from ore in this form. If these granules were used
then it is no surprise Si, Ca, K, S, etc. might be found in small
quantities.
Notice the FeNi granules (Ni 38%-43%) which is produced by
Treilbacher and comes in drums or big bags. Fe could be one of the
catalytic ingredients. Seems to me logical, as I've suggested this
myself, especially if a strong magnetic field is applied in order to
create strong magnetic gradients. Fe can be H loaded if hot.
NickelCalcium alloy sold there too - with a little oxygen right up
the heavy element LENR alley!
