          Appeal No. 1998-2248                                                        
          Application No. 08/552,407                                                  


               (b) suspending the solid mixture in an aqueous                         
          suspension,                                                                 
               (c) classifying the solids particles of the aqueous                    
                         suspension in a hydrocyclone or hydrocyclones                
          connected           in parallel to create two recovered                     
          fractions one of         which is titanium dioxide-rich but                 
          which still contains          some quantity of silica and coke;             
               (d) grinding the recovered titanium dioxide-rich                       
          fraction            so that at least about SO % of the                      
          particles of the         fraction are smaller than 0.1 mm, and              
               (e) and then without any farther classification step                   
                         returning the ground recovered titanium dioxide-             
          rich           fraction to the chlorination reactor.
