Preparation and Characterization of BariteTiO2 Composite Particles

الملخص EN

To make full use of barite mineral and obtain a kind of composite particles material which has the property of both barite and TiO2, the composite particles material with TiO2 coated on the surface of barite particle was prepared by the method of TiOSO4 solution chemical hydrolysis and precipitation to form hydrolysis composite, removing the impurities of hydrolysis composite, drying, and calcination in this study.

The results were evaluated by the covering power of composites.

Composite structure and properties were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, FTIR, and XPS.

The results showed that the surface of barite had been coated with rutile TiO2 uniformly and compactly and the hiding power value and oil absorption value of the composite powder were 18.50 g/m2 and 15.5 g/100 g, respectively, which had similar pigment performances to TiO2.

The results also showed that it was mainly the strong chemical bond between barite and TiO2 that combined them firmly in barite/TiO2 composite particle (B/TCP).
