Abstract
Abstract By pouring a solution containing hydrolyzable tin and antimony salts into an aqueous dispersion of titanium oxide particles and mixing, the salts are caused to hydrolyze, whereby a uniform and strongly adherent coating layer of antimony-containing tin oxide is formed on the surface of each particle of the titanium oxide. The coated powder thus obtained is non-hygroscopic and non-toxic and exhibits stable electroconductivity. Furthermore, since it can possess excellent whiteness, it is suitable for forming the electroconductive layers of electro-thermosensitive papers and electrostatic recording papers, for use as the antistatic agent of resins, and for other uses.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A process for producing electroconductive powder which comprises the steps of: providing an aqueous dispersion of titanium oxide particles; providing a solution containing a hydrolyzable tin salt and a hydrolyzable antimony salt, said solution remaining free of hydrolyzed tin salt and hydrolyzed antimony salt; adding said solution to said dispersion under agitation while said dispersion is maintained at a temperature of 60° to 100° C., to hydrolyze said tin salt and said antimony salt as a result of contact between said solution and said dispersion, thereby to produce titanium oxide particles coated with antimony-containing tin oxide; and recovering the coated titanium oxide particles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A process for producing electroconductive powder which comprises the steps of: providing an aqueous dispersion of titanium oxide particles; providing a solution containing a hydrolyzable tin salt and a hydrolyzable antimony salt, said solution remaining free of hydrolyzed tin salt and hydrolyzed antimony salt; adding said solution to said dispersion under agitation while said dispersion is maintained at a temperature of 60° to 100° C., to hydrolyze said tin salt and said antimony salt as a result of contact between said solution and said dispersion, thereby to produce titanium oxide particles coated with antimony-containing tin oxide; and recovering the coated titanium oxide particles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the solution is poured into the dispersion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the hydrolyzable tin salt is tin chloride, and the hydrolyzable antimony salt is antimony chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 3 in which the solution contains 78 to 783 g/l of tin chloride and 0.084 to 410 g/l of antimony chloride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 3 in which the solution contains 78 to 783 g/l of tin chloride and 0.854 to 150 g/l of antimony chloride.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
65 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the solution is prepared by dissolving the tin salt and the antimony salt in a solvent selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, propyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, acetone, and aqueous solutions containing, in concentrations which are sufficient for substantially suppressing hydrolysis of said salts, acids containing counter ions of the tin salt and the antimony salt.
