DISPERSION OF ZIRCONIUM OXIDE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for producing an aqueous dispersion of zirconium oxide comprising:
- reacting a zirconium salt with an alkali in water to obtain a slurry of particles of zirconium oxide;
filtering, washing, and repulping the slurry;
adding an organic acid to the resulting slurry in an amount of one mole part or more per mole part of the zirconium in the slurry;
hydrothermally treating the resulting mixture at a temperature of 170°
C. or higher; and
washing the resulting aqueous dispersion of particles of zirconium oxide.
