Magnesium potassium titanates, K0.8Mg0.4Ti1.6O4 and K2MgTi7O16, whose oxygen-site was partially substituted by fluorine, with anisotropic particle forms were synthesized via KDC (Kneading-Drying-Calcination) process. Those synthesis temperatures (1000 °C) fell by 200 °C by use of MgF2 as a reactant.
The former consisted of platy particles ca. 50 μm long and 5 μm thickness. Its hydrated compound showed adsorption ability of ammonium ion by 2.2 mmol/g. The latter consisted of rod-like particles with ca. 10 μm length and 5 μm diameter.
