Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing ceramic powders having the perovskite structure by means of a reaction in an aqueous solution, in which a homogeneous aqueous solution comprising a strong organic base and comprising at least one alkaline-earth metal salt and at least one zirconium salt and/or at least one titanium salt is converted at a reaction temperature in the range from 70° to 150° C., and water adhering to the reaction product is removed, or in which an alkaline-earth metal-titanium-acetate gel having a strong organic base is converted at a reaction temperature in the range from 110°-180° C., and water adhering to the reaction product is removed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A method of manufacturing a ceramic powder having the perovskite structure, said method comprising forming an aqueous solution consisting essentially of water and at least one alkaline earth metal salt and at least one salt of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zirconium and titanium, adding a strong organic base, said base being an amine, to said solution to thereby form an aqueous suspension of said salts, heating said suspension at temperatures of from 70° C. to 150° C. to form a powder reaction product, separating out the resultant powder reaction product from said suspension and then removing any water adhering to said separated powder reaction product.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
111 words
A method of manufacturing a ceramic powder having the perovskite structure, said method comprising forming an aqueous solution consisting essentially of water and at least one alkaline earth metal salt and at least one salt of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zirconium and titanium, adding a strong organic base, said base being an amine, to said solution to thereby form an aqueous suspension of said salts, heating said suspension at temperatures of from 70° C. to 150° C. to form a powder reaction product, separating out the resultant powder reaction product from said suspension and then removing any water adhering to said separated powder reaction product.
