The preparation of a new mineral composite material,calcium carbonate particles coated with titanium dioxide,was studied.The mechanism of the preparation process was proposed.The new mineral composite material was made by the mechanochemical method under the optimum condition that the mass ratio of calcium carbonate particles to titanium dioxide was 6.5:3.5.The mass ratios of two different types of titanium dioxide(anatase to rutile) and grinding media to grinded materials were 8:2 and 4:1 respectively,and the modified density was 60%.Under this condition,the new material was capable of forming after 120-min modification.The hiding power and oil absorption of this new material were 29.12 g/m2 and 23.30%,respectively.The results show that the modification is based on surface hydroxylation.After coating with titanium dioxide,the hiding power of calcium carbonate can be improved greatly.The new mineral composite materials can be used as the substitute for titanium dioxide.
