    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for making a particulate (oxy)hydroxide of TM, where TM represents a combination of metals and includes nickel and at least one metal selected from cobalt and aluminum and manganese. The process includes: (a) combining an aqueous slurry of metallic nickel and at least one metal selected from aluminum and transition metals other than nickel with an oxidant selected from oxygen and nitrate in a first reaction vessel or in a first group of reaction vessels at a temperature of from 5° to 40° C., (b) transferring aqueous reaction medium from the first reaction vessel to a second reaction vessel, where the second reaction vessel contains a slurry of a hydroxide of TM, (c) removing the particles from step (b) from the liquid by a solid-liquid separation method, and drying the particles, and (d) returning liquid phase obtained in step (c) to the first reaction vessel.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for enriching enantiomers from an enantiomer mixture by a fractionating melt crystallization in a melt crystallization apparatus. The invention specifically relates to a process for producing an enantiomer-enriched chiral terpene, in particular of D/L-Isopulegol. The process comprises: i) a crystallization step to obtain a crystallizate and a mother melt and removal of the mother melt from the crystallizate to afford a mother melt fraction; ii) sweating of the crystallizate obtained in step i) to afford a molten sweating fraction and iii) subsequent melting of the sweated crystallizate to afford a molten crystallizate fraction, wherein the optical rotation at least of the sweating fraction is determined online using a polarimeter and the changeover from step ii) to step iii) is controlled online by means of at least one control unit.
