Abstract
Abstract A process is described for producing rutile fibers of unusual dimensional uniformity. Titanium trichloride is reacted at 960*990* C. with humidified oxygen followed by dry oxygen in the presence of molten sodium and potassium chloride mixtures containing preformed titanium dioxide of pigmentary size.

The process of claim 1 wherein: In step (a) said reaction mixture comprises 14-17 percent by weight of titanium trichloride, 77-82 percent by weight of an equimolar mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride, and 4-6 percent by weight of pigmentary rutile titanium dioxide, and the reaction temperature is between 960*-990* C., In step (b) the humidified oxygen contains 0.4-0.6 atmospheres partial pressure of water vapor and is added at a rate of 5-6 milliliters per minute per gram of reaction mixture for 5-7 minutes, and In step (c) dry oxygen is added at a flow rate of 2.5-3.0 milliliters per minute per gram of reaction mixture for 13-15 minutes.
