Abstract

A process for producing a powder of composite oxide which includes cerium and zirconium, or which includes cerium, zirconium and further a rare-earth element other cerium. The process includes: dissolving nitrate, sulfate and/or acetate of constituent elements of the composite oxide into water in a predetermined ratio; and spraying and heating a resulting aqueous solution to oxidize the constituent elements of the composite oxide for converting them into a powder of a composite oxide. The thus produced composite oxide powder is micro-fine, homogeneous, and heat resistant.
