The invention provides a method of using TiCl4 to prepare a high-activity double-effect
crystal seed and control
titanium dioxide particle size. Specifically, the method employs TiCl4 as a
raw material, a precipitate is prepared through a certain proportion and rapid
neutralization of a dilute base solution, the precipitate is subjected to peptizing, curing and
quenching and then is adjusted to have a proper pH value, then soluble salt compositions are removed through washing, so that the high-activity double-effect
crystal seed, which is applied to
hydrolysis process and calcining process of production of sulfuric-acid-process
titanium dioxide, is prepared. The prepared
crystal seed is uniform in particle size and high in activity, and also during application of
hydrolysis of a
titanium solution, by adjusting the addition amount of the
seed crystal and cooperating with addition of a proper salt treating agent and control on calcining intensity,
rutile type
titanium dioxide with different particle sizes can be prepared, and thus the particle size demands on different products are satisfied. The preparation technology is simple, not high in equipment investment and high in operation
controllability, and the prepared double-effect crystal seed is capable of producing
titanium dioxide hydrate primary particles with uniform particle size, so that the uniformity of calcined product particle size is guaranteed, and optical performances and
pigment performances of
titanium dioxide are perfectly exhibited.
