Definitions
- the present invention relates to a zirconium composite oxide and a method for producing a zirconium composite oxide.
- Patent Document 1 discloses that a composition containing zirconium oxide and cerium oxide has an apparent surface area of about 1.0 to about 6.0 m 2 /g after heating at 1200° C. for 10 hours or longer. (see especially claim 1).
- Patent Document 2 describes a composition comprising a mixture of four oxides of zirconium, cerium, lanthanum, and any one of yttrium, samarium, or gadolinium among rare earth elements, and heated at 1200 ° C. for 10 hours. It is disclosed that the subsequent specific surface area is 7 m 2 /g or more and 12 m 2 /g or less (especially see claim 1 and examples).
- Patent Document 3 discloses a composition based on zirconium oxide, cerium oxide and yttrium oxide, having a specific surface area of at least 15 m 2 /g after calcination at 1150° C. for 10 hours (especially claim Item 1) and that the specific surface area after heating at 1200° C. for 10 hours is 12 m 2 /g or less (especially see Examples).
- Patent Document 4 discloses that a composition containing zirconium, cerium, and lanthanum has a specific surface area of 35 to 50 m 2 /g after heating at 1100° C. for 4 hours in air. (see especially claim 1).

- the catalyst and its carrier are exposed to higher temperatures. That is, the heat load on the catalyst and its carrier increases. Higher heat loads sinter the catalyst support. Sintering of the carrier causes a decrease in the specific surface area of the carrier.
