PRODUCTION METHOD YTTRIUM OXIDE-STABILIZED ZIRCONIUM OXIDE SOL

摘要

There is provided a production method of an yttrium oxide-stabilized zirconium oxide aqueous sol and organic solvent sol capable of producing a sol having extremely advantageous transparency with which the heating condition is eased compared to that of a conventional method and secondary aggregation of the obtained colloidal particle is hardly caused. A production method of an yttrium oxide-stabilized zirconium oxide aqueous sol, characterized by comprising: a process of subjecting a mixed aqueous solution produced by dissolving an yttrium carboxylate and zirconium oxyacetate in water in an Y/(Y+Zr) atomic ratio in a range of 0.10 to 0.60 to hydrothermal treatment at 160 to 280° C. for 2 hours or more.
