Titanium oxide production process

摘要

A process for producing a titanium oxide is provided which comprises the steps of (i) reacting a titanium compound with ammonia in an amount exceeding the stoichiometric amount necessary to convert the titanium compound to a titanium hydroxide or reacting a titanium compound with a base at pH of from about 2 to about 7, to obtain a reaction product and (ii) calcining the obtained product. The titanium oxide exhibits a high photocatalytic activity by visible light radiation.
