Abstract
Morphologically improved ceric oxide particulates have a BET specific surface, measured after calcination at a temperature of from 350.degree. to 450.degree. C., of at least 100 m.sup.2 /g, a total pore volume of at least 0.3 cm.sup.3 /g, and the pores of which having a mean diameter larger than 50 .ANG.. The improved ceric oxide particulates are prepared by reacting a cerium salt with a strong base in the presence of carboxylate ions, or a cerium carboxylate with a strong base; separating the precipitate of true cerium hydroxide thus produced; and washing, heat-treating, and calcining such precipitate.
