  • Patent number: 9909011
    Abstract: A method for coating the surface of inorganic solid particles in an aqueous suspension, particularly for coating titanium dioxide with SiO2 includes: a) disagglomeration of the solid particles contained in aqueous suspension, b) addition of a water-soluble precursor of the coating substance to the suspension, c) immediately following step b) homogenization of the suspension, where the temperature and pH value of the suspension do not change significantly in steps a) to c), d) feeding the slurry into a tank and precipitation of the coating substance onto the particle surface and, optionally, application of further coatings, and e) separation of the solid particles from the suspension. The method produces to a highly homogeneous and continuous skin on the particle surface, and to less separately precipitated coating substance.

  • Patent number: 9539560
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a photocatalyst, based on titanium dioxide containing carbon or metal, in a pulsation reactor, where a raw material mixture, consisting of nanoparticulate titanium oxyhydrate and an aqueous solution or suspension, containing at least one organic, carbon-containing compound or metal ions, is fed into the pulsating hot-gas stream of the pulsation reactor and the titanium dioxide particles containing carbon or metal are formed. The hot-gas stream has a temperature of ?450° C. following addition of the material and contains an excess of oxygen. In contrast to the known manufacturing methods, the method according to the invention allows reproducibly good product qualities to be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20090148364
    Abstract: A method for reprocessing cyclone dust occurring during the carbochlorination of titaniferous raw materials, which essentially consists of titanium dioxide, coke and other inert metal oxides, such as silicon dioxide, and for returning a coke-rich and/or a TiO2-rich fraction to the chlorination reactor includes: preparing an aqueous suspension of the cyclone dust; separating a coke-rich fraction (1) from the aqueous suspension by flotation; adding hydrofluoric acid to the remaining suspension; and separating a TiO2-rich fraction (2) by flotation from the remaining suspension.
