Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
In an aqueous titanium dioxide pigment slurry having high hiding power, a solids content of about 55 to 70 percent by weight, and an effective amount of a dispersing agent, the improvement comprising using undried, unmilled hydroclassified fines as the source of the titanium dioxide wherein said fines pass through a 325 mesh screen and are coated with about 0.3 to 3 percent by weight of hydrous aluminum oxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
In an aqueous titanium dioxide pigment slurry having high hiding power, a solids content of about 55 to 70 percent by weight, and an effective amount of a dispersing agent, the improvement comprising using undried, unmilled hydroclassified fines as the source of the titanium dioxide wherein said fines pass through a 325 mesh screen and are coated with about 0.3 to 3 percent by weight of hydrous aluminum oxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The slurry of claim 1 wherein up to about 60 percent of the fines is replaced by dried and milled titanium dioxide pigment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The slurry of claim 1 wherein the fines are formed by the combustion of titaniferous salts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The slurry of claim 3 wherein the combustion of titaniferous salts is performed in the presence of aluminum chloride so as to burn in up to about 2 percent by weight aluminum oxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The slurry of claim 1 wherein the fines are derived from the hydrolysis of a titanium iron sulfate solution.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The slurry of claim 5 wherein the resultant hydrolysate is calcined in the presence of an aluminum salt so as to burn in up to about 2 percent by weight aluminum oxide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The slurry of claim 1 wherein the solids content is about 60 to 65 percent by weight.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
The slurry of claim 1 wherein the fines, which are in the form of a dilute slurry, are concentrated by filtration or evaporation of the water.
