Process for the recorvery of sulphuric acid in the production of titanium dioxide

摘要

A process for the preparation of an improved quality TiO2 pigment by hydrolysis of titanyl sulphate, isolation of the hydrolysis product form the waste acid produced during the hydrolysis, washing of the hydrolysis product and calcination of the hydrolysis product to form the TiO2 pigment, wherein the hydrolysis of the titanyl sulphate is carried out using separately produced hydrolysis nuclei which have been produced by a reaction of titanium salts with alkaline reagents, and in which waste acid and/or wash liquid containing waste acid is added after at least 50% of the total duration of the hydrolysis process.
