  • TiObased scrubbing granules, and methods of making and using such TiObased scrubbing granules
    Patent number: 9862616
    Abstract: TiO2 based scrubbing granules, and methods of making and using such TiO2 based scrubbing granules are described. TiO2-based scrubbing granules include granulated TiO2 and about 0.5% to about 20% dry weight inorganic salt binder. Other TiO2 based scrubbing granules include unsintered granulated TiO2 and about 0.5% to about 20% dry weight inorganic salt binder. Inorganic salt binder include sodium aluminate. Methods of making TiO2 based scrubbing granules include i) combining TiO2 particles with inorganic salt binder to form TiO2-binder mixture comprising from about 0.5% to about 20% dry weight binder; ii) granulating the TiO2-binder mixture; and drying the granulated TiO2-binder mixture to form TiO2-based scrubbing granules.

  • TITANIUM DIOXIDE PRODUCTION, AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING PARTICLE SIZE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20150329372
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method/system for the production of titanium dioxide particles. The titanium dioxide particles are produced by oxidizing titanium tetrachloride in the presence of an agent which includes ultrafine titanium dioxide particles, and optionally, the presence of a Group 1a metal compound. The presence of the agent, with or without the optional Group 1a metal compound, also serves to control the particle size of the produced titanium dioxide particles.
