Narrative: Production of fine titanium dioxide (TiO) powders by                 titanium tetrachloride (TiCl) oxidation will be investigated                    experimentally in a high temperature aerosol flow reactor.  The                 focus of this project is on understanding the interplay between                 chemical kinetics and aerosol dynamics during manufacture of TiO                particles.  Detailed, simultaneous measurements of chemical kinetics            and product aerosol characteristics in an aerosol flow reactor will             be made under precisely controlled experimental conditions.  The                rate of TiCl oxidation will be measured by a Fourier transform                  infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer.  Fundamental reaction rate                   expressions will be derived.  The aerosol size characteristics of               TiO will be measured by conventional aerosol instruments.  The                  effect of dopant silicon tetrachloride (SiCl) on product titania                size and polydispersity will be thoroughly investigated.  A theory              for TiO particle production will be developed in terms of basic                 aerosol processes (chemical reaction, nucleation, condensation and              coagulation).  This study will trigger the development of aerosol               processes for manufacture of high hiding power pigments and ceramic             powders for advanced ceramics.
