C:\NRPonb]\DCC\MDT\3870575_1.DOC.13/09/201I DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF COMPOUNDS BY PRECIPITATION Abstract The invention relates to a device and a method for the production of compounds by 5 precipitation of solids from solutions, the physical and chemical properties of the solid particles formed on precipitation being flexible and can be independently fixable. Custom products can thus be produced with very high space-time yields and a particulate nickel/cobalt mixed hydroxide of formula NixCoi.x(OH) 2, with a BET surface area of 20 m2/g and a tap density of greater than 2.4 g/cm 3.
