Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is related to a method for the production of single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes, in particular in the geikielite crystal structure, to single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes obtained by this method as well as to the use thereof, in particular as pigments in several application media.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes by the following steps: a) forming a MgTiO 3 precursor by mixing at least a titanium compound, a magnesium compound and a phosphorous compound in an aqueous medium, which is held at a pH value of 6 to 8, and b) calcining the MgTiO 3 precursor at a temperature of 800° C. to 1400° C. as a single calcination step. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a fluxing agent is present in the mixing step. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the fluxing agent is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: Na 2 SO 4 , K 2 SO 4 , NaCl and KCl. 4. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises drying the MgTiO 3 precursor prior to the calcination step. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the calcining is in an oxygen containing atmosphere. 6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a product obtained in the calcination step is treated with water. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the titanium compound is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: titanium tetrachloride, titanyl sulfate, titanium sulfate and titanium trichloride. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the magnesium compound is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate and magnesium carbonate. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphorous compound is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: trisodium phosphate, phosphorous pentoxide, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid and tripotassium phosphate. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes prepared have a geikielite crystal structure. 11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes prepared have a particle diameter of 10 to 100 μm, according to an equivalent of a corresponding circle diameter. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous medium is held at a pH value of 7. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phosphorus compound is a phosphate compound. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phosphorus compound is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, phosphates, condensed phosphoric acid, and condensed phosphate. 15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calcining of the MgTiO 3 precursor is at a temperature of greater than 1000° C. to 1250° C. as a single calcination step. 16. A method for preparing single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes by the following steps: a) forming a MgTiO 3 precursor by mixing at least a titanium compound, a magnesium compound and a phosphorous compound in an aqueous medium, and b) calcining the MgTiO 3 precursor at a temperature of 800° C. to 1400 ° C. as a single calcination step, wherein a fluxing agent is present in the mixing step, which is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: Na 2 SO 4 , K 2 SO 4 , NaCl and KCl, and/or the phosphorous compound is one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: trisodium phosphate, phosphorous pentoxide, phosphorous acid and tripotassium phosphate. 17. A method for preparing single crystalline MgTiO 3 flakes by the following steps: a) adding a phosphorous compound, a titanium compound and a magnesium compound to an aqueous medium, forming a MgTiO 3 precursor by mixing at least the titanium compound, the magnesium compound and the phosphorous compound in the aqueous medium, wherein the phosphorous compound is added to the aqueous medium prior to the addition of the titanium compound and/or the magnesium compound to the aqueous medium, and b) calcining the MgTiO 3 precursor at a temperature of 800° C. to 1400° C. as a single calcination step. 18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the phosphorous compound is added to the aqueous medium prior to the addition of the titanium compound to the aqueous medium. 19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the phosphorous compound is added to the aqueous medium prior to the addition of the magnesium compound to the aqueous medium. 20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the aqueous medium is held at a pH value of 6 to 8.
