Alkaline earth metal titanates ATiO 3 (A: Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) were prepared from two types of layered potassium titanates [K 2 Ti 2 O 5 and K 0.6 Ti 1.85 O 4 (hereafter, Lss)] by using alkaline earth metal molten salts [ACl 2 + A(NO 3 ) 2 (1:1)]. For A = Ca a single phase of perovskite-type compound was prepared at 600°C by using both starting compounds and the reaction temperature was lower than in 400°C that of the solid state reaction with TiO 2 (anatase) and CaCO 3 . A single phase of perovskite-type SrTiO 3 was obtained at 600 and 700°C for K 2 Ti 2 O 5 and Lss, respectively and these temperatures were much lower than that (1200°C) of the solid state reaction with TiO 2 (anatase) and SrCO 3 . In the case of perovskite-type BaTiO 3 a single phase of perovskite-type compound was prepared at 700°C by using both starting compounds and also this temperature was much lower than that (above 1300°C) of the solid state reaction with TiO 2 (anatase) and BaCO 3 . Although neither K 2 Ti 2 O 5 nor Lss could produce a single phase of ilmenite-type MgTiO 3 , it was prepared by the solid state reaction with TiO 2 (anatase) and magnesium basic carbonate at 900°C. A single phase of ilmenite-type CdTiO 3 was prepared from K 2 Ti 2 O 5 by using cadmium molten salts [CdCl 2 + Cd(NO 3 ) 2 (1:1)] at 500°C. By taking account of the fact that ilmenite-type CdTiO 3 transforms to perovskite-type structure, this preparative method using layered potassium titanates with molten salts preferred to crystallize perovskite-type titanates at lower temperature rather than ilmenite-type ones.
