Abstract
Abstract Nitric acid is added to an aqueous solution of organic acid salts of metals to be included in a resulting complex oxide powder, into which an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt of other metal component has been incorporated according to need, and the resulting solution is heated until the organic acid salts are decomposed and the decomposition product is heated, whereby a intended complex powder which is very fine and highly bulky and has a large specific surface area is obtained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A process for the preparation of complex oxide powder having a high specific surface area and a low bulk density which comprises the steps of preparing an aqueous solution of salts of the metallic elements of said complex oxide and nitric acid, said complex oxide being at least one member selected from the group consisting of complex oxides with perovskite crystal structure and complex oxides with K 2 MgF 4 crystal structure, wherein said solution contains said metallic elements in the proportion of the constituent metallic elements of said complex oxide, at least one of said salts being an organic acid salt and said nitric acid being present in said solution in such an amount that a ratio b/a is within a range of from 0.2 to 0.8, wherein a stands for the minimum molar amount of nitric acid necessary for completely substituting for the organic acid of said organic acid salt and b stands for the molar amount of nitric acid actually added, heating said aqueous solution substantially to dryness to decompose said salts and heating the resulting decomposition product to form the intended complex oxide powder having a uniform composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A process for the preparation of complex oxide powder having a high specific surface area and a low bulk density which comprises the steps of preparing an aqueous solution of salts of the metallic elements of said complex oxide and nitric acid, said complex oxide being at least one member selected from the group consisting of complex oxides with perovskite crystal structure and complex oxides with K 2 MgF 4 crystal structure, wherein said solution contains said metallic elements in the proportion of the constituent metallic elements of said complex oxide, at least one of said salts being an organic acid salt and said nitric acid being present in said solution in such an amount that a ratio b/a is within a range of from 0.2 to 0.8, wherein a stands for the minimum molar amount of nitric acid necessary for completely substituting for the organic acid of said organic acid salt and b stands for the molar amount of nitric acid actually added, heating said aqueous solution substantially to dryness to decompose said salts and heating the resulting decomposition product to form the intended complex oxide powder having a uniform composition.
