Sulfuric Acid → Titanium disulfate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The essence of the herein-disclosed method of obtaining a titanium tanning agent resides in the fact that ammonium sulfate is added to a sulfuric acid solution of titanium available from titaniferous material to precipitate ammonium titanyl double sulfate monohydrate [(NH4)2TiO(SO4)2.H2O], whereupon said salt is treated with ammonium sulfate solution, thus stabilizing the above monohydrate form and obtaining titanium sulfate compound as a tanning agent applicable as a tannin in tanning pelt and fur skins.
