Abstract
Disclosed herein is a process for producing fine metal oxide particles comprising the step of heat-treating an aqueous solution of a metal salt at a temperature of not lower than 200.degree. C. under a pressure of not less than 160 kg/cm.sup.2 for 1 second to 1 hour so as to bring into the decomposition reaction of said metal salt.
Claims4
A process for producing fine metal oxide particles having a particle size of 20 to 2,000 nm comprising the steps of heat-treating an aqueous solution of a water-soluble metal salt at a temperature of not lower than 200.degree. C. at a pressure of 250 to 500 kg/cm.sup.2 for 1 second to 10 minutes to achieve a decomposition reaction of said metal salt to form said metal oxide, wherein said aqueous solution of said metal salt is continuously supplied in a tubular reactor in such a manner as to remain in a reaction zone of the tubular reactor at a temperature of not lower than 200.degree. C. and a pressure of 250 to 500 kg/cm.sup.2 for 1 second to 10 minutes, and separating said fine metal oxide particles, and wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of copper, barium, calcium, zinc, yttrium, silicon, tin, zirconium, titanium, antimony, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel.
