(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to improve the sinterability of rare earth oxides, which is the above-mentioned problem, the present inventors first focused on the shape, particle size, particle size distribution, etc. of rare earth oxide powder, which is a starting material. However, as a result of intensive study of the suitable range of these physical properties and the manufacturing conditions, it was found that it was sufficient to make the single particle of the rare earth oxide small and obtain a powder with good dispersibility. As a result, by adding a rare earth mineral acid aqueous solution to an ammoniacal basic oxalate solution, the rare earth oxalate is precipitated, and if this is separated and calcined, an oxide powder with a small single particle size can be obtained. In addition, by increasing the reaction temperature during rare earth oxalate crystallization, adding Ca ions during crystallization, and adjusting the amount, a rare earth oxide powder with good dispersibility and easy sinterability can be obtained. He discovered that the present invention can be made by adding a rare earth mineral acid aqueous solution to an oxalic acid aqueous solution whose pH was adjusted to 7 or more using ammonia to form a rare earth oxalate. The present invention provides a method for producing rare earth oxide powder, which is characterized by precipitating it and then separating and firing it.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。The present invention will be explained in detail below.

Rare earth oxalate salts are generally obtained by mixing a rare earth mineral salt aqueous solution with an oxalic acid aqueous solution or an ammonium oxalate aqueous solution. Only a powder was obtained, and even if this was crushed, a product with good sinterability could not be obtained. In the present invention, first, it was discovered that fine particles can be obtained when the liquid during the reaction is highly basic. During the reaction process, when rare earth oxalate precipitates, mineral acid or mineral acid ammonium is produced, so a rare earth mineral salt aqueous solution and further ammonia water are added to an aqueous ammonium oxalate solution that has been made highly basic in advance. If these are added at the same time and reacted, a fine precipitate of rare earth and competing acid salts will be obtained. This high basicity is preferably adjusted to a pH of 7 or more, preferably 9.0 to 9.5. If the pH is below 7, single particles become large, which is not preferable. However, the precipitate obtained by this method is so small that it aggregates and requires a pulverization step after separation and drying. However, in the present invention, by increasing the temperature during crystal formation, good dispersibility can be achieved. A powder can be obtained, eliminating the need for a pulverization process.

The reaction temperature is 50°C or higher, preferably 60°C or higher.

This calcium may be added in the form of Ca salt, but the form of Ca hydroxide has less influence on the physical properties after firing, and the amount added is 1500 p.
