Synthesis and Characterization of Titanium Dioxide Using a Caustic Hydrothermal with moderate Molarity and Ratio from synthetic Rutile Waste

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of molarity and ratio of caustic hydrothermal method for extracting the Titanium dioxide (TiO2) from synthetic rutile waste. Synthetic rutile waste as a starting material will undergo two processes; decomposition process and sulphate process. The formed of Sodium titanate, NaTiO3 from the caustic hydrothermal decomposition will continue treated with sulphate process with a moderate molarity and ratio. The product will be characterized with the Electron Dispersive (EDX) to characterize its chemical composition, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) to determine its micrographs and particle size and lastly is X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to identify the crystalline phase and crystallite size. The TiO2was succesfully extracted by using this caustic hydrothermal method and the effects of molarity and ratio to our TiO2 growth was determined. Lastly, the effects of calcination process to the selected best conditions was studied
