Abstract
Abstract A bright, color-pure iron oxide red pigment is produced by an improved process by precipitation of iron(II) salts in aqueous solution with an alkaline precipitating agent, oxidation at temperatures of from 20° C. to 100° C. and annealing of the resulting precipitation products under air to form iron oxide red pigments, wherein the improvement comprises before adding the alkaline precipitating agent, the iron(III) content of the aqueous solution is adjusted to 1 to 15 mol %, based on the total iron content of the iron salt solution.
