Abstract
Submicronic zirconia particulates containing stabilizing amounts of yttrium or cerium, well adapted for ceramics applications, are produced by (i) admixing an aqueous suspension of zirconium fluosulfate particles having a pH of from about 0 to 3 with an aqueous solution of a salt of yttrium or cerium, (ii) neutralizing the resulting mixture at a pH of at least 7, (iii) separating a mixture of zirconium/yttrium or zirconium/cerium hydroxides from the medium of neutralization, (iv) washing said mixture of hydroxides to eliminate sulfate and fluoride ions therefrom, and then (v) calcining said mixture of hydroxides.
