| 1. A process for producing Bi12MO20 particles, in which M represents an element selected from the group consisting of Si and Ge, the process comprising the steps
of:
i) preparing an alkaline solution of an alkali-soluble compound, which is selected from the group consisting of an alkali-soluble
silicon compound and an alkali-soluble germanium compound,
ii) preparing a water-soluble bismuth compound solution, and
iii) subjecting the alkaline solution and the water-soluble bismuth compound solution to mixing processing with agitation
at a temperature of at least 80° C. by use of a shearing agitator comprising a rotating blade and a stator,
whereby the alkaline solution and the water-soluble bismuth compound solution are allowed to react with each other;
wherein the mixing processing with agitation is performed while each of the alkaline solution and the water-soluble bismuth
compound solution is being added at a certain feed rate to an alkaline mother liquor having been heated to a temperature of
at least 80° C.
