Wet process for the production of a readily sinterable powder material of perovskite or its solid solution

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6037233

A process is described for producing a powdered perovskite represented by the formula: ABO/sub 3/ wherein A is selected from the group consisting of Pb, Ba, Ca, Sr and La; and B is selected from the group consisting of Ti and Zr, which comprises contacting in a vessel an aqueous or alcohol solution of an ion of either component A or component B with a precipitating solution selected from the group consisting of solutions of ammonia, ammonium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and oxalic acid, to form a first precipitate of the component, mixing in the vessel an aqueous or alcohol solution of the other component thereby forming a second precipitate of the other component, drying and calcining the resulting powder mixture at a temperature of from 400/sup 0/ to 1200/sup 0/C, wherein during the calcining a solid phase reaction occurs in the powder mixture to form the perovskite.
