Titanyl sulfate is a chemical compound of titanium from the group of sulfates .
Extraction and presentation
Titanyl sulfate monohydrate can be obtained by reacting titanium (IV) oxide with concentrated sulfuric acid.
The monohydrate is obtained from the action of sulfuric acid salts of titanium (IV) compounds such as titanium (IV) sulfate Ti (SO 4 ) 2 with water.
The anhydrous form is obtained from the reaction of titanium (IV) chloride with concentrated sulfuric acid, the resulting still strongly HCl -containing solution having to be freed from HCl in vacuo and dried, since yellowish gelatinous or Resin-like masses precipitate.
When titanium (IV) oxide or its hydrates react with concentrated sulfuric acid, titanyl sulfate is also formed. When using 70% sulfuric acid, the easily water-soluble dihydrate is formed.
properties
Titanyl sulfate is a moisture-sensitive white odorless solid that is soluble in water. In the titanyl sulphate there are endless Ti-O-Ti-O-zigzag chains in which the structure is completed by the sulphate and (with the hydrate) by water molecules. Titanyl sulfate has an orthorhombic crystal structure with the space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 (space group no. 19) . The monohydrate also has an orthorhombic crystal structure, but with the space group Pmn 2 1 (no. 31) and converts into the anhydrous form at 350 ° C. This decomposes at 500 ° C.
use
Titanyl sulphate is used as a detection reagent for hydrogen peroxide and titanium, since the intense orange-yellow colored peroxotitanyl ion (TiO 2 ) 2+ is formed when it is present . This proof is very sensitive and traces of hydrogen peroxide can already be detected. It is also produced as an intermediate product in the sulphate process for the production of titanium dioxide .
