Abstract
A method for producing an anatase type titanium dioxide powder which comprises subjecting a titania sol, a titania gel or a titania sol-gel mixture to a heat treatment and simultaneously to a pressure treatment in a closed vessel, and subsequently drying the resulting product; and a method for producing an anatase type titanium dioxide slurry which comprises subjecting a titania sol, a titania gel or a titania sol-gel mixture to a heat treatment and simultaneously to a pressure treatment in a closed vessel, and subsequently agitating the resulting product to provide a dispersion. This method can be used for producing an anatase type titanium dioxide powder which exhibits high photocatalytic activity and has a large specific surface area, and an anatase type titanium dioxide slurry which has high storage stability and high dispersibility in a process operated at a relatively low temperature and having a small number of steps. A slurry thus obtained can be used as a coating material having photocatalytic activity which can be coated on a material having poor heat resistance.
