Crystalline phases of titanium (IV) phosphate have been obtained from titanium(III) chloride in phosphoric acid solutions. The {alpha}-titanium phosphate synthesis is possible at low temperature (60--80 C). {gamma}-Titanium phosphate is obtained by reflux with very concentrated phosphoric acid in 3--5 hours by oxidation with O{sub 2}. The influence in these reactions of several factors (concentration of reagents, molar ratio P:Ti in the reaction mixture, temperature and reaction) was studied. The {alpha}-titanium phosphate formation takes place in several steps through the sequential formation of amorphous titanium(IV) phosphate, {gamma}-titanium phosphate and/or a semicrystalline titanium(IV) hydroxophosphate, Ti(OH){sub 2}(HPO{sub 4}){center_dot}H{sub 2}O.
