1. A powder inorganic oxide comprising Al, Ce and Zr as constituent elements,
wherein a molded product, which is produced by placing 4.0 g of the inorganic oxide in a cylindrical container having a diameter of 20 mm and performing uniaxial molding under conditions of room temperature and pressure of 29.4 MPa for 30 sec., has a density of 1.0 to 1.3 g/ml and
wherein an average shrinkage percentage calculated by the following formula is not more than 14.0%:
average shrinkage percentage (%)=100×{(1−(c)/(a))+(1−(d)/(b))}/2,
wherein (a) and (b) respectively represent a diameter and a height of the molded product, and (c) and (d) respectively represent a diameter and a height of a calcined product obtained by heating the molded product from room temperature to 1300° C. under an air atmosphere at a temperature-rising rate of 200° C./hr., maintaining the product at 1300° C. for 2 hr., and lowering the temperature thereof from 1300° C. to room temperature at a temperature-decreasing rate of 200° C./hr.
