Process for the preparation of iron oxide pigments from the waste acid resulting from the preparation of titanium dioxide by the sulfate process, characterized in that in a first stage a partial neutralization of the sulfuric acid contained in the waste acid is performed with compounds from the group comprising metallic iron and/or iron compounds, the sulfuric acid is optionally further neutralized with a further alkaline compound, the precipitate containing Ti, Al, Cr and V compounds is separated from the resultant reaction product and an iron oxide yellow pigment or iron oxide black pigment is precipitated from the resultant iron sulfate-containing solution by addition of alkaline compounds as well as an oxidizing agent, each pigment being able to be baked to form an iron oxide red pigment.
