Abstract
The hydrolysis of Ti(IV)-bearing acid solution to prepare titanic acid particles is a crucial step for the production of TiO2 material. The hydrolysis which takes place in HCl medium was investigated particularly with the purpose of preparing coarse particles with narrow size distributions for applications such as Ti metal powder production. The key factors that affect the hydrolysis ratio and rate, the morphology, and the size of the titanic acid particles were investigated. The results illustrated that temperature, initial free acid and equivalent TiO2 concentrations cross-influence the above-mentioned key attributes of the product particles. Near spherical rutile particles with a D50 of around 30 μm were obtained under the optimal parameters. Four stages, including incubation, acceleration, near steady-state reaction, and deceleration, were observed during the progress of the hydrolysis reaction, while the precipitate morphology evolved from irregular to smooth, and to round as a result of the nucleus agglomeration.
