Abstract

A blue light-emitting silicate phosphor favorably employable as a blue light-emitting source of a light-emitting apparatus which gives emission of a visible light upon irradiation of ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 254 nm, such as ultraviolet rays emitted by a fluorescent lamp is produced by a method comprising calcining a powdery mixture comprising a magnesium oxide powder, an MeO source powder, a EuO source powder and a SiO2 source powder, said magnesium oxide powder having a purity of 99.9 wt. % or higher and a BET specific surface area in the range of 3 to 60 m2/g and having been prepared by bringing a metallic magnesium vapor into contact with oxygen whereby oxidizing the metallic magnesium vapor.
