Abstract
Highly transparent alumina hydrate particles having a large pore volume, having a pore diameter which falls in a specified range and, when formed into a high-concentration dispersion sol, exhibiting a low viscosity are provided. Alumina hydrate particles having a composition represented by the general formula xMO.y(NH)O.AlO.zHO (2×10≦x≦25×10, 0.1×10≦y≦20×10, 0.6≦z≦2.5, M represents an alkali metal; when the alkali metal is in the form of MO, x is the number of moles thereof per mol of AlO; when ammonia is in the form of (NH)O, y is the number of moles thereof per mol of AlO; and z is the number of moles of hydration water (HO) per mol of AlO), the alumina hydrate particles having an average particle diameter of 0.02 to 0.2 μm, a total pore volume of 0.5 to 1.5 ml/g, and a volume of pores whose diameter is from 15 to 30 nm ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 ml/g.
