1. A method for producing an intimate mixture of metal oxide powder suited for preparation of ceramics, comprising the steps of:
- synthesizing guanidine oxalate;
providing a guanidine oxalate solution comprising stoichiometric guanidine oxalate, water, and a water soluble alcohol having 1-3 carbon atoms per molecule;
mixing the guanidine oxalate solution with a solution of at least two types of soluble metal salts to produce a resultant solution having a temperature less than approximately 5°
C.;
reacting the guanidine oxalate with the soluble metal salts, resulting in a produce consisting essentially of quantitatively coprecipitated metal oxalates having a uniform composition; and
heating the coprecipitated metal oxalates to produce an intimate mixture of multicomponent metal oxide powder.

Abstract
Guanidine oxalate is used as a precipitating agent in the coprecipitation of multicomponent oxide powder precursors. A solution of a soluble inorganic salt is combined with a solution of guanidine oxalate. A resultant metal oxalate is precipitated from the solution and can thereafter be subjected to heat to convert the metal oxalate into a multicomponent ceramic powder.
