Abstract

The invention concerns a procedure for preparation of a precursor of a mixed cerium and zirconium oxide-based composition, characterized by the following steps: PA1 a liquid mixture is prepared containing cerium and zirconium compounds; PA1 the preceding mixture is placed in contact with carbonate or bicarbonate, thus forming a reactive medium exhibiting a neutral or basic pH during the reaction; PA1 the precipitate obtained is collected. A mixed cerium and zirconium oxide-based composition is obtained by calcining this precursor. This composition is characterized by the fact that it has a total pore volume of at least 0.6 cm.sup.3 /g, and that at least 40%, and more particularly at least 50%, of the total pore volume is composed of pores having a diameter of at most 1 .mu.m.
