Effects of Concentration of TiOSO₄ and Fe/TiO₂ Ratio on TiO₂ Anatase White Pigment Production via Short Sulfate Process

Abstract:

Using unconcentrated TiOSO₄ solution from sulfate process as titanium source, anatase TiO₂ white pigment was prepared by self-generating seed thermal hydrolysis route via short sulfate process. The effects of concentration of TiOSO₄ solution and Fe/TiO₂ ratio on the structure and pigment properties of the TiO₂ white pigments were investigated. The samples were characterized by XRD, particle size distribution and pigment properties test. The concentration of TiOSO₄ solution and Fe/TiO₂ ratio had great effects on the super-saturation of TiO²⁺, crystal formation, nucleation, crystallization and aggregation process, eventually determined the crystal structure, particle size distribution and its pigment properties. The optimized concentration of TiOSO₄ solution was of 195 g/L, and the Fe/TiO₂ ratio was at 0.30.The as-prepared anatase white pigment was appropriate particle size, narrow particle size distribution and good pigment properties.
