Abstract

A method for manufacturing a zinc oxide based powder by coprecipitation with one or more additions is disclosed. The method comprises: PA1 a step for the preparation of one or more solutions by dissolving defined quantities of salts of elements that go into the composition of the powder: zinc and addition(s), PA1 a step for the preparation of a buffer solution pre-saturated by the said elements, the said buffer solution possessing a pH which is defined so as to cause the precipitation of the hydroxylated compounds of elements corresponding to the elements saturating the buffer solution, PA1 a step during which the solutions are added to the said buffer solution, the drop in the pH being compensated for by the addition of a base and the volume of the buffer solution being kept constant by drawing off excess liquid, PA1 a step during which the precipitate obtained is treated to obtain the said powder.
