Abstract

See full text

A process for the production of coarse scrubbing aggregates of TiO.sub.2 particles by vapor phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride. The particle aggregates of sizes above 0.15 mm are separated from the TiO.sub.2 fines by wet screening on a moving screen, calcined and returned to the process. In a preferred embodiment of the process, the titanium dioxide prior to calcination is admixed with 0.01 to 0.3% by weight alkaline hydroxides (related to anhydrous TiO.sub.2), hard particle aggregates of sizes between 0.2 to 2.0 mm being generated that are returned to the hot reaction mixture and used for the prevention of deposit formation on the surfaces of the heat exchanger. The process can be carried through in such a way that the quantities of coarse scrubbing TiO.sub.2 aggregates per unit of time consumed by abrasion and newly formed by sintering are equal, their percentages in recycling TiO.sub.2 thus remaining constant which simplifies the TiO.sub.2 production process.
