Water-soluble titanium complexes are attractive titanium sources for solution synthesis of titanium-based materials using water as a solvent due to their high stability in aqueous solution in wide range of pH, and have been made from expensive metal titanium ultrafine powder. In this study, TiCl
4 and Ti(SO
4)
2 that are inexpensive reagents than metal titanium fine powder were chosen as starting materials. TiCl
4 and Ti(SO
4)
2 were dropped into distilled water and large amount of NaOH solution was added here, then precipitates of Ti(OH)
4 were obtained. Then precipitates were washed with distilled water and dissolved into mixed solution of H
2O
2 and NH
3. And lactic acid as complexing agent was added to the solutions to obtain water-soluble titanium lactate complex solutions. These complex solutions generated no precipitate at pH 0 to 12 for 6 months. Yields of Ti in the both processes were 85 % and removal ratios of Cl
- and SO
42- ions were 99 and 93 %, respectively. MCO
3 (M=Ca
2+, Sr
2+, Ba
2+) were dissolved in the complex solution prepared from TiCl
4, and the solution was dried and heated at 873 K for 5 h. Very fine and crystalline particles of CaTiO
3, SrTiO
3 and BaTiO
3 were obtained by heating at 873 K in this solution method, while large particles of CaTiO
3, SrTiO
3 and BaTiO
3 were obtained at 1273 K in solid-state reaction. Low temperature synthesis of titanium complex oxides by a new synthetic route of water-soluble titanium complex from titanium chloride and titanium sulfate as starting materials was successfully achieved.
