Titanium-zirconium mixed oxide powder in the form of aggregated primary particles, which powder has a content of titanium dioxide of from 40 to 97 wt . % and a content of zirconium dioxide of from 3 to 60 wt.%, wherein the sum of the contents of titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide is at least 99.7 wt.% and wherein the contents are in each case based on the total amount of powder, and which exhibits reflections of titanium dioxide modifications and does not exhibit reflections of monoclinic, tetragonal and cubic zirconium dioxide in X-ray diffraction analysis. It is prepared by transporting into a mixing chamber a starting compound, in vapour form, for the first mixed oxide component by means of primary air and a starting compound, in vapour form, for the second mixed oxide component by means of an inert gas, mixing the mixture with hydrogen in a mixing chamber and burning it into a reaction chamber. It can be used as a catalyst support. |
