Abstract

See full text

In a method of producing TiO.sub.2 pigment particles a TiO.sub.a X.sub.b (OH).sub.c -based precursor is suspended in a liquid with or without fuel additives. The suspension is then sprayed to form droplets. The droplets are transported into a flow reactor with a carrier gas. The droplets are decomposed in the flow reactor at high temperatures to form TiO.sub.2 pigment particles which are collected downstream of the flow reactor. In a preferred embodiment, a colloidal suspension of an insoluble TiO(SO.sub.4).sub.b (OH).sub.c precipitate with suitable fuel additives was spray-calcined at 900.degree. to 1200.degree. C. to produce pigment-quality TiO.sub.2. The primary particle size of the TiO.sub.2 pigment particles is between 150-250 nm and the particles are minimally aggregated.
