Abstract
Improved process for making Bi-Pb-Sb-Sr-Ca-Cu oxide superconductors. A solution of the nitrates of Bi, Pb, Sr, Ca, and Cu is reacted with a quaternary ammonium carbonate in a dispersion (heel) of Sb.sub.2 O.sub.5. Carbonates of Bi, Pb, Sr, Ca, and Cu precipitate homogeneously on the Sb.sub.2 O.sub.5 particles. Solids are recovered, dried, and heated to make a superconductor. The method minimizes handling toxic antimony compounds and reduces introduction of contaminants. Novel compositions result.
