摘要:
The invention relates to titanium dioxide pigment particles which have improved photo stability, their surface being coated with a dense SiO2 skin that is doped with at least one doping element. The SiO2 skin is characterized in that the doping with the at least one doping element reduces the energy level densities in the valence band and/or in the conduction band in the vicinity of the band gap or that additional energy levels in the band gap are produced. The doped dense SiO2 skin is applied using known wet-chemical methods or is applied in the gas phase to the surface of the titanium dioxide particles. Particularly suitable doping elements are Sn, Sb, In, Ge, Y, Nb, F, Mn, Cu, Mo, Cd, Ce, W and Bi. The following known doping elements AI, B, Ge, Mg, Nb, P, Zr for the gas phase method and Ag, AI, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mg, Mn, Ni, Nb, Sn, Sr, Ti, Zn, Zr for the wet-chemical method are excluded from the invention.
摘要:
A spiral jet mill for grinding granular product, such as TiO2 particles, includes multiple, such as at least two product injector nozzles for mixing and injecting a corresponding number of streams of steam or other pressurized gas and the granular product into the grinding chamber. In use, the ratio of total pressurized gas, such as the sum of all input steam and grinding steam injected into the grinding chamber, to granular product, such as TiO2 pigment particles, is preferably less than the corresponding ratio used in conventional processes so as to realize energy savings relative to the amount of steam or other pressurized gas that is used per unit of granular product that is milled.
摘要:
A method for coating the surface of a substrate, such as inorganic particles, with a metal oxide. A suspension is formed containing the substrate, a polyvalent anion and a metal ion where the molar ratio of the polyvalent anion to the metal ion is greater than three and the metal ion is precipitated onto the substrate as a metal oxide. Preferably, the method is used to coat titanium dioxide pigment particles with aluminum oxide.
摘要:
The invention relates to the method step of reducing trivalent iron in the production of titanium dioxide according to the sulfate method. According to the invention, after the removal of the poorly soluble decomposition residue, the reduction occurs by means of metallic iron in such a way that the trivalent iron is completely reduced to divalent iron and tetravalent titanium is partially reduced to trivalent titanium in a deliberate manner. A Ti(III) content of 1 wt% to 5 wt% with respect to the total titanium is preferably sought. The method step according to the invention preferably occurs in continuous operation at a temperature of > 50°C to 2 product quality is achieved.
