Abstract
The invention provides a process of producing a titanium oxide-forming solution, wherein a hydrogen peroxide solution is added to a titanium-containing starting aqueous solution to form a peroxotitanium complex, a basic substance is then added to the peroxotitanium complex to obtain a solution which is in turn let stand or heated, thereby forming a precipitate of a peroxotitanium hydrate polymer, at least a dissolved component derived from the titanium-containing starting aqueous solution, except water, is then removed from the precipitate, and a hydroxide peroxide solution is finally allowed to act on a dissolved component-free precipitate. The invention also provides a dispersion with titanium oxide dispersed therein.

A process of producing a titanium oxide-forming solution, comprising the steps of:
- adding a basic substance having hydroxyl groups in excess of the amount of titanium to metallic titanium;
- and then
- adding a hydrogen peroxide solution thereto, thereby forming a solution, in which solution the concentration of cations other than titanium ion, a titanium-containing ion and a hydrogen ion is at most one-half the concentration of titanium ion and titanium-containing ion, and wherein the concentration of cations derived from a remaining basic substance is in the range of {fraction (1/10)} to ½ of the concentration of titanium.
A process of producing a titanium oxide-forming solution, comprising the steps of:
- adding a basic substance having hydroxyl groups in excess of an amount of titanium, to metallic titanium or a solid titanium compound containing at least one of oxygen and hydrogen;
- and then
- adding a hydrogen peroxide solution thereto, thereby forming a second solution;
- and
- repeating twice or more a step for removal of cations other than titanium ion, a titanium-containing ion and hydrogen ion from the solution and decomposition of an excessive portion of the hydrogen peroxide solution while the second solution is maintained at pH 3.0 to 10, and wherein the concentration of cations derived from a remaining basic substance is in the range of {fraction (1/10)} to ½ of the concentration of titanium.
A process of producing a titanium oxide coating agent, comprising the steps of:
- adding a basic substance having hydroxyl groups in excess of the amount of titanium to metallic titanium or a solid titanium compound containing at least one of oxygen and hydrogen;
- and then
- adding a hydrogen peroxide solution thereto, thereby forming a second solution;
- removing cations contained in said second solution other than titanium ion, a titanium-containing ion and a hydrogen ion;
- then
- repeating at least twice a decomposition of an excessive portion of the hydrogen peroxide solution while the second solution is maintained at pH 3 to 10, thereby allowing a concentration of cations other than titanium ion, a titanium-containing ion and hydrogen ion to be at most one-half a concentration of titanium, and wherein the concentration of cations derived from a remaining basic substance is in the range of {fraction (1/10)} to ½ of the concentration of titanium;
- and then
- thermally treating the second solution at a temperature of 80° C. or higher for precipitation of an anatase particle.
A process of producing a solution with a crystalline titanium oxide particle dispersed therein comprising the steps of:
- adding a hydrogen peroxide solution to a titanium-containing starting aqueous solution to form a peroxotitanium complex;
- then
- adding a basic substance to the peroxotitanium complex to obtain a solution which is in turn let stand or heated, thereby forming a precipitate of a peroxotitanium hydrate polymer, and wherein the concentration of cations derived from a remaining basic substance is in the range of {fraction (1/10)} to ½ of the concentration of titanium;
- then
- removing from the precipitate at least a dissolved component derived from the titanium-containing aqueous solution other than water;
- and
- heating the peroxotitanium hydrate polymer at a temperature of 70° C. or higher while water remains unseparated therefrom.
