Zirconyl ammonium carbonate obtained in this way is used as a raw material in the present invention, but it is subjected to an over-processing process at two points during the manufacturing process of zirconyl ammonium carbonate: at the stage where zirconia salts are dissolved in water, and at the stage at which the pH is adjusted to 7 to 9.5. There is also the advantage that impurities such as silica contained in the starting material zirconium salt can be removed by adding .

When the aqueous solution of zirconyl ammonium carbonate produced by the method described above is heated to 60° C. or higher, it decomposes, generating carbon dioxide gas and ammonia, and forming a precipitate. However, it is very difficult to separate the precipitate from the mother liquor only in an aqueous solvent. The precipitates separated by decantation, washing, evaporation to dryness, centrifugal sedimentation, etc., have solid particle aggregation after drying and calcination, and require mechanical pulverization.
