Calcium titanate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca Ti O₃. As a mineral, it is called perovskite, named after Russian mineralogist, L. A. Perovski (1792-1856). It is a colourless, diamagnetic solid, although the mineral is often coloured owing to impurities.

Synthesis

CaTiO₃ can be prepared by the combination of CaO and TiO₂ at temperatures >1300 °C. Sol-gel processes has been used to make a more pure substance, as well as lowering the synthesis temperature. These compounds synthesized are more compressible due to the powders from the sol-gel process as well and bring it closer to its calculated density (~4.04 g/ml).^[2]

Structure

Calcium titanate is obtained as orthorhombic crystals, more specifically perovskite structure.^[3] In this motif, the Ti(IV) centers are octahedral and the Ca² centers occupy a cage of 12 oxygen centres. Many useful materials adopt related structures, e.g. barium titanate or variations of the structure, e.g. yttrium barium copper oxide.^{[citation needed]}

Applications

Calcium titanate has relatively little value except as one of the ores of titanium, together with several others. It is reduced to give titanium metal or ferrotitanium alloys.^[4]
