The control effect of P
O2 by oxygen buffers was hydrothermally examined, and it was observed that the oxygen buffers of HM and NNO react effectively for longer time 300 hours using an H
2O solvent at 530°C under 1000 atm.

2O produced anatase, potassium hexatitanate and rutile with increasing temperature, and it was not found the effects of P
O2 on the temperature range of their formation. Anatase grown by controlled P
O2 is characterized by the increase of c parameter with decreasing P
O2.
Anatase-rutile transformation was examined under the hydrothermal conditions of controlled P
O2. The rate equation of this transition abides by the Avrami model equation. It was found that the kinetic data of pure and stabilized anatase are expressed by the firstorder equation in an H
2O buffer. However, the stabilized anatase abides by the higherorder equation than n=1 in the buffers of HM and NNO.
