Claims
- 1. A ceric oxide particulate composition, consisting essentially of ceric oxide particulates having a B.E.T. specific surface of from 100 to 130 m.sup.2 /g, measured at a temperature ranging from 400.degree. C. to 450.degree. C., said B.E.T. specific surface varying but slightly in response to an increase in temperature, said particulates having an aggregate mean diameter ranging from 0.9 to 1.1 .mu.m.
- 2. Ceric oxide particulates having a B.E.T. specific surface of at least 100 m.sup.2 /g measured at a temperature ranging from 400.degree. C. to 450.degree. C., said specific surface varying but slightly in response to an increase in temperature.
- 3. Ceric oxide particulates according to claim 2 having a B.E.T. specific surface ranging from 100 to 130 m.sup.2 /g measured at a temperature ranging from 400.degree. C. to 450.degree. C.
- 4. Ceric oxide particulates according to claim 3, said particulates having an aggregate mean diameter ranging from 0.9 to 1.1 .mu.m.
- 5. The ceric oxide particulates as defined by claim 4, having a standard deviation with respect to the aggregate mean diameter of the particulates ranging from 1.0 to 2.5.
- 6. The ceric oxide particulates as defined by claim 2, having a photomicrograph thereof comprising those of FIGS. 1 or 2.
- 7. The ceric oxide particulates as defined by claim 4, the B.E.T. specific surface thereof diminishing by no more than 30 m.sup.2 /g in response to an increase in the temperature thereof of from 400.degree. C. to 600.degree. C.
