Abstract
A finely divided metal oxide powdery composition, preferably with a narrow particle size distribution, is produced from a particulate, sol-gel derived composition containing agglomerates by heating the particulate composition in the presence of an effective amount of a composition which decomposes upon heating and forms a gas to break at least a portion of the agglomerates so as to yield the desired finely divided ceramic particle composition. Examples of suitable gas-forming agents for use in the present invention include the ammonium salts or amides of organic and inorganic acids, volatile acids, and gases dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as water, alcohol or ammonia.
