  • Patent number: 8668888
    Abstract: A composition containing titanium and iron compounds, in particular decomposition residue that accumulates as a production residue after the sulphate process during the production of titanium dioxide, is used as an adsorbing agent for inorganic and organic compounds, for example compounds containing phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, sulphur, selenium, tellurium, the cyano group or heavy metal. Toxic substances and pollutants may be removed from a fluid using the adsorbing agent.

  • Publication number: 20120298647
    Abstract: A process for producing a coating material for coating welding electrodes and/or for producing a welding powder which can be used in an electric welding, such as in an under-powder welding, a welding powder additive, and/or a flux additive, includes obtaining a titanium-containing by-product or waste product, such as a titanium dioxide-containing material, in at least one of a production step and a production stage during a titanium dioxide production process, such as a titanium dioxide pigment production process. The titanium-containing by-product or waste product is added and/or mixed into a coating material, a welding powder, a welding powder additive, and/or a flux additive so as to obtain a titanium-containing material mixture. The titanium-containing material mixture is processed so as to provide the coating material, the welding powder, the welding powder additive, and/or the flux additive.
