Abstract

A process for obtaining precursors for high critical temperature superconductor ceramics by precipitating salts which are insoluble in water comprises the following stages: A starting solution of soluble salts is prepared in which the cations are in the stoichiometric proportions of the required superconductor phase. A first full precipitation is carried out of a first series of cations at a first value of pH. The first precipitates obtained is filtered out and washed and the filtrate is retained. The pH of the filtrate is changed to a second value and the residual cations are precipitated. The second precipitate is filtered. The first and second precipitates are homogenized. The product obtained is dried, calcined, and ground.
