Abstract

Flame-hydrolytically produced titanium dioxide mixed oxide having a BET surface of 10 to 150 m.sup.2 /g and 1 to 30% by weight aluminum oxide or 1 to 30% by weight silicon dioxide is produced by evaporating aluminum chloride or silicon tetrachloride, transferring the evaporated aluminum chloride or silicon tetrachloride, together with an inert gas, into the mixing chamber of a burner, mixing them with hydrogen, air and gaseous titanium tetrachloride, burning the resulting 4-component mixture in the reaction chamber of the burner, and separating the titanium dioxide mixed oxide from the gaseous reaction products.
