Abstract

The present invention relates to valve metal particles uniformly containing nitrogen and a method for preparing the same, and a valve metal green pellet and a sintered pellet made from the particles, and an electrolytic capacitor anode. The present invention provides valve metal particles uniformly containing nitrogen, wherein the difference ratio of nitrogen contents of particles is 20% or less. The present invention provides a process for preparing said valve metal particles uniformly containing nitrogen, wherein the raw material particles of the valve metal were heated in a nitrogen-containing gas at a temperature of 200° C. or less for 2 hours or more. The present invention also provides a valve metal green pellet made from said valve metal particles. The present invention also provides a valve metal sintered pellet.
