Abstract
In order to obtain a highly acidic hydrated niobium oxide, the preparation methods and conditions such as niobium precursors, precipitating reagents, treatment of precipitates, washing of precipitates, final pH in precipitation, and calcination temperature were systematically examined. Strong acidic sites of H 0⩽−8.2 were found to appear on hydrated niobium oxide when the oxide was prepared by boiling the precipitates, which were obtained by hydrolysis of niobium oxalate with KOH, in a diluted mild acid solution(preferably 0.1N HNO 3) followed by washing with hot water several times and heating in air at 300 °C. Final pH in the precipitation must be below 11.
