Abstract
Abstract Claimed is a novel titanium dioxide composition having 95.0 to 99.5%, by weight, of titanium dioxide, no more than 1.0%, by weight, of iron oxides, a bulk density in the range of 1.73 to 2.4 g./cc., a hardness (VHN) of 337-650, and a porosity of 0.03 to 0.08 cc./g. produced by passing chlorine through a deep bed of titaniferous ore-carbon mixture containing about 25%, by weight, of carbon at a temperature of about 900* to 1100*C. The product is particularly useful as a raw material for producing titanium dioxide pigment but is also useful as a white pigment as such.
