Abstract
Abstract Transparent red iron oxide pigments of outstanding quality and particularly high clarity and strength and good dispersibility characteristics are described. The pigments are produced by heating a dry mixture of alpha-ferric oxide hydrate particles and at least 0.2 part per part of hydrate of a salt which is an alkali metal nitrate, nitrite or mixtures thereof to a temperature above the melting point of the salt and recovering the resulting ferric oxide as a pigment.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A process for producing transparent red iron oxide pigments having improved optical qualities comprising forming a dry mixture of particulate alpha-ferric oxide hydrate and at least 0.2 part per part of hydrate of at least one salt selected from the group consisting of alkali metal nitrates and nitrites, heating the mixture to a temperature above the melting point but below the decomposition temperature of said salt until the desired red shade of ferric oxide is obtained, separating the ferric oxide from the salt in water whereby the salt is dissolved, and recovering the separated oxide as a pigment.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A process for producing transparent red iron oxide pigments having improved optical qualities comprising forming a dry mixture of particulate alpha-ferric oxide hydrate and at least 0.2 part per part of hydrate of at least one salt selected from the group consisting of alkali metal nitrates and nitrites, heating the mixture to a temperature above the melting point but below the decomposition temperature of said salt until the desired red shade of ferric oxide is obtained, separating the ferric oxide from the salt in water whereby the salt is dissolved, and recovering the separated oxide as a pigment.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the particulate ferric oxide hydrate is acicular particles having an average particle length of 0.03 to 0.2 micron and a length:width ratio of at least 3:1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the amount of salt ranges from 0.5 part to 3 parts per part of hydrate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the ferric oxide is transparent yellow alpha-FeOOH.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 4 wherein the salt is sodium nitrite.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 4 wherein the salt is sodium nitrate.
