Abstract
Abstract Yttrium oxide with particularly big particles is formed by reacting yttrium ions with oxalate ions so that yttrium oxalate is precipitated. The precipitated yttrium oxalate is maintained at a temperature of 90°-100° C. for a period from 1/2 to 24 hours for formation of a crystal form of yttrium oxalate which can be dried and ignited to oxide without disintergrating. The heat-treatment can be combined with the precipitation and also with the subsequent drying and ignition to yttrium oxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of producing yttrium oxide particles with substantially all of the particles having a size greater than five microns comprising: (a) precipitating yttrium oxalate; (b) maintaining the yttrium oxalate in a liquid medium at a temperature of 90°-100° C. for at least three hours whereby yttrium oxalate crystals are formed; (c) drying the yttrium oxalate crystals; (d) calcining the yttrium oxalate crystals whereby the yttrium oxalate is converted to yttrium oxide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of producing yttrium oxide particles with substantially all of the particles having a size greater than five microns comprising: (a) precipitating yttrium oxalate; (b) maintaining the yttrium oxalate in a liquid medium at a temperature of 90°-100° C. for at least three hours whereby yttrium oxalate crystals are formed; (c) drying the yttrium oxalate crystals; (d) calcining the yttrium oxalate crystals whereby the yttrium oxalate is converted to yttrium oxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1 wherein steps (a) and (b) are carried out simultaneously.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein steps (a)-(d) are carried out in one continuous process.
