Solid-Phase Synthesis in the Technology of Functional Materials Based on Titanium(IV)

Аннотация

A study was made of structural, morphological, and chemical transformations in solid-phase systems based on sulfate, oxide, and hydroxide compounds of titanium(IV) under the intense mechanical activation of solid particles. This enabled one to substantiate the phase formation mechanism initiated by the intense homogenization of the reaction mixture, which is accompanied by a decrease in the particle size, deformation of the particle structure, and the formation of a new active surface. The obtained results formed the physicochemical basis for developing an innovative nonwaste technology for producing a new grade of titanium dioxide in the rutile modification from titanium sulfate salt under a program performed by the Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities.
