Deleanu, Frei and Hilton have developed the notion of generalized Adams completion in a categorical context [4]. They have also shown that if the set of morphisms is saturated then the Adams completion of an object is characterized by a certain couniversai property. We want to prove a stronger version of this result by dropping the saturation assumption on the set of morphisms; we also prove that the canonical map from an object to its Adams completion is an element of the set of morphisms under very moderate assumptions. These two results are fairly general in nature and are applicable to most cases of interest. Further using these two results and introducing “modulo a Serre class C of abelian groups” [9] we have obtained the mod-C Postnikov approximation of a 1-connected based CW-complex, with the help of a suitable set of morphisms.
