Abstract: Inorganic oxides of substantially uniform particle size distribution are prepared by contacting aqueous solutions of an inorganic salt and an inorganic base across a porous membrane wherein the membrane contains a plurality of pores which allows for precipitation of a substantially mono-disbursed size inorganic oxide particles on one side of the membrane and precipitation of a salt of the corresponding base on a second side of the membrane.
