Abstract

In a first embodiment, the present invention concerns a colloidal dispersion of a cerium compound, characterised in that it has a CeO.sub.2 concentration of between 500 and 700 g/l and a conductivity of at most 50 mS/cm. In a second embodiment, the colloidal dispersion is characterised in that it has a CeO.sub.2 concentration of more than 700 g/l. A process for the preparation of the dispersion of the invention is characterised in that a starting suspension or dispersion is treated by dialysis or with a cationic resin and an anionic resin. Colloidal dispersions of the invention can be used in automobile post combustion catalysis, in cosmetics, in lubrication, in ceramics or as an anticorrosion agent.
