Abstract: By controlling the hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride with adding (NH4)2SO4 and NH4OH, the
preparation process of superfine titania powder was investigated. As-prepared powders were characterized by XRD,TEM, SAEDand TG-DTA techniques. Both XRD
and SAED results showed that anatase phase existed in the sample dried at room temperature under vacuum and its primary particle size was about 3.8nm.
When calcined at 400℃ for 2h, it was the single anatase phase of titania and its primary particle size increased to 6.8nm, but rutile phase occurred at the temperature over 700℃ for 2h.

Key words: titania, preparation of powder, hydrolysis
