Niobium (V) and tantalum (V) halides are converted to Nb2O5 and Ta2O5 that are free of detectable levels of halide in a two step process. In the first step, the metal halide is reacted with an alcohol and with a replacement species, such as ammonia, which reacts with the halide. This produces a metal alkoxide which is soluble and a halide salt of the replacement species which is insoluble in the alcohol and precipitates. After physically separating the alkoxide in alcohol solution from the precipitate, in a second step, the metal alkoxide is hydrolyzed with purified water to produce the oxide. |
