Patent number: 11932543Abstract: Composite oxide fine particles are produced by sol-gel method under conditions in which coarse particles and aggregated particles are unlikely to be generated, and the composite oxide fine particles are further wet-filtered using a filter to remove the coarse particles and the aggregated particles. Then, a salt is added to a dispersion of the composite oxide fine particles to produce weak aggregates of the composite oxide fine particles in the dispersion. A solid content is separated from the dispersion of the composite oxide fine particles containing the aggregates, and then dried. The solid content is easily made finer because no firm aggregates are generated during the drying. That is, composite oxide fine particles containing no coarse particles and aggregated particles are obtained. Use of a known cracking means can further reduce the amount of coarse particles.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: TOKUYAMA CORPORATIONInventors: Hiromasa Fujioka, Hiroaki Taira, Osamu Tanaka
