This invention provides a production process, which can stably produce
high-quality satin white (calcium trisulfoaluminate) having very small
and homogeneous particulate shapes suitable for incorporation into coated
paper for printing, and an apparatus for use in said process. In this
process for producing calcium trisulfoaluminate, a calcium hydroxide
suspension (A) is reacted with an aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B)
to produce calcium trisulfoaluminate (C). The aqueous aluminum sulfate
solution (B) is added in plurality of stages to the calcium hydroxide
suspension (A). At least any one stage of the plurality of stages
addition, addition of the aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B) to the
calcium hydroxide suspension (A) is carried out in such a manner that the
aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B) is continuously added to the
calcium hydroxide suspension (A) being continuously transferred.
