TITANIUM NANOXIDE SYNTHESIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C01G23/07 C09C3/04 B82B3/00 B01F3/02 

FIELD: industrial inorganic synthesis.

SUBSTANCE: method of preparing high-quality titanium nanoxide with particle size 10 to 100 nm comprises generation of gas plasma, introducing gas plasma flow, oxygen, and titanium tetrachloride vapors, oxidation of titanium tetrachloride with oxygen in synthesis zone to form titanium dioxide and chlorine, and quenching synthesis products in supersonic nozzle by way of transforming subsonic synthesis products flow escaping synthesis zone into supersonic flow, which is then expanded and cold quenching gas is injected thereto. Prior to enter synthesis zone, titanium tetrachloride is mixed with oxygen at molar ratio between 0.05 and 0.25, respectively. Cold quenching gas is injected when supersonic flow is expanded inside expanding portion of supersonic nozzle having opening angle 10-15°.

EFFECT: improved quality of titanium nanoxide.
