and subsequent annealing of the products was studied. TiOSO4· xH2O and anhydrous
Na2CO3 powders in the molar ratio 1: 1 were used as starting reactants. The Na2SO4·
xH2O by-product was removed by simple water washing process. The synthesis of
nanocrystalline rutile is almost complete after 60 min milling and particles with average size
of 15 nm were obtained. Nanoparticles of anatase with average size of 5–35 nm were …
