Abstract

Provided is a ceric oxide having a specific surface of at least 85 m.sup.2 /g after calcination between 350.degree. and 550.degree. C., and being further characterized in that it has a pore volume of at least 0.15 cm.sup.3 /g and a median pore diameter greater than 50 .ANG.. The ceric oxide is prepared by destabilizing an aqueous colloidal dispersion of a cerium (IV) compound by the addition of base thereto, separating the precipitate which results and subjecting it to a heat treatment.
