Example 1
A ceric nitrate solution not less than 90 mol % cerium ions of which were tetravalent was taken so that 20 g of cerium in terms of cerium oxide was contained, and the total volume was adjusted to 1 liter with pure water. Here, the concentration in terms of cerium oxide was 20 g/L. The solution was placed in an autoclave reactor, heated to 100° C., held at this temperature for 24 hours, and allowed to cool in an atmosphere to room temperature.
Then an aqueous ammonia solution was added to neutralize to pH 8 to obtain cerium oxide hydrate in the form of a slurry. The slurry was then subjected to solid-liquid separation with a Nutsche filter, followed by separation of the mother liquor, to obtain a filter cake. The filter cake was calcined at 300° C. for 10 hours in a box-type electric furnace under air atmosphere to obtain cleric oxide, which was then ground in a mortar into ceric oxide powder (referred to as powder (A) hereinbelow). The specific surface area of powder A) was measured by the BET method. Further, the specific surface areas of powder (A) after calcination at 800° C. for 2 hours, at 900° C. for 5 hours, and at 1000° C. for 5 hours, respectively, were measured by the BET method. The tap density and total pore volume of powder (A) were also measured. Further, powder (A) was calcined at 900° C. for 5 hours, and then the OSC of the resulting ceric oxide powder was measured at 400° C. The results of these measurements are shown in Table 1.
Powder (A) was calcined at 1000° C. for 5 hours, and then the TPR measurement was made. The results are shown in
Following experiment was made in accordance with the teaching of Example 9 of Jp-7-61863-B.
922 ml of a solution of cerous nitrate containing 150 g/L of CeO2 and 38 ml of a solution of hydrogen peroxide diluted to 200 ml were placed at room temperature in an autoclave reactor having a useful volume of 2 liters 150 ml of an aqueous 3N ammonia solution were added, while maintaining the temperature at 80° C., until a pH equal to 9.5 was obtained. The reaction medium was maintained at 8° C. for 1 hour to obtain a precipitate. The resulting precipitate was separated with a Nutsche filter, and washed with water.
The entire mass of the thus obtained precipitate was suspended in 150 ml of an aqueous 1N ammonia solution, placed in an autoclave, and treated therein at 160° C. for 4 hours. At the end of this heat treatment, the precipitate was recovered with a Nutsche filter. The obtained ceric oxide powder was subjected to the measurements as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2. Further, similarly to Example 9, the ceric oxide powder was further calcined at 500° C. for 5 hours, or at 700° C. for 5 hours, and then the tap density and total pore volume were measured, respectively. The results of these are shown in Table 2. Still further, as in Example 1, the ceric oxide powder obtained by calcining at 300° C. for 10 hours, followed by pulverization in a mortar, was further calcined at 1000° C. for 5 hours, and then the TPR measurement was made.

Here, the concentration in terms of cerium oxide was 20 g/L. The resulting solution was immediately neutralized with an aqueous ammonia solution to pH 8 without the heat treatment in an autoclave reactor, to thereby obtain cerium oxide hydrate in the form of a slurry. The slurry was then subjected to solid-liquid separation with a Nutsche filter, followed by separation of the mother liquor, to obtain a filter cake. The filter cake was calcined at 300° C. for 10 hours in a box-type electric furnace under air atmosphere, and ground in a mortar into ceric oxide powder. The obtained powder was subjected to the same measurements as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2. Further, as in Example 1, the ceric oxide powder obtained by calcining at 300° C. for 10 hours, followed by pulverization in a mortar, was further calcined at 1000° C. for 5 hours, and then the TDR measurement was made.
