Patent number: 8734750Abstract: Sodium silicate solutions of modulus 3.0 to 3.8 are provided. In some embodiments, the solution is made by a process that uses two specific principal reaction stages. A sodium silicate solution having a low SiO2:Na2O molar ratio, in the range from 2.0 to 2.8, is first produced by reaction of the SSS, as a cost-effective SiO2 source, with aqueous caustic soda. The conversion of this intermediate sodium silicate solution of low modulus to a high SiO2:Na2O molar ratio is made possible by using a SiO2 source that is prepared as precipitated amorphous silica from the intermediate sodium silicate solution produced above.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: The National Titanium Dioxide Co. Ltd. (CRISTAL)Inventors: Fadi Mohammed Saeed Trabzuni, Hassan Moenes El Dekki, Chathangat Cheroolil Gopalkrishnan

Patent number: 7264672Abstract: A process for producing an improved titanium dioxide pigment composite is provided, as are particles produced thereby. The process comprises producing a slurry comprising titanium dioxide particles, leaching alumina from the surface of the titanium dioxide particles in the presence of a soluble phosphate and precipitating aluminum phosphate from the slurry onto the surface of the titanium dioxide particles thereby forming a uniform coating of aluminum phosphate on the surfaces of the titanium dioxide particles. An anionic poly-electrolyte can be added to the resulting slurry. The slurry can then be treated such that the anionic poly-electrolyte forms an additional coating on the aluminum phosphate-coated titanium dioxide particles.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: National Titanium Dioxide Co. Ltd. (Cristal)Inventors: Fadi Mohammed Saeed Trabzuni, Chathangat Cheroolil Gopalkrishnan
