Both pdfs are interesting but I doubt if these minute additions have much effect on the bulk solubility of the anatase in conc. H2SO4.

Most, but not all, of it dissolved. The insoluble stuff is a grey powder. The solution is very viscous; I will probably have to dilute it with water
in order to filter it.

Yes, concentrated solutions of titanyl sulphate are quite viscous. Over-dilution will cause the oxide to precipitate again (the basis of the 'sulphate
process' for TiO2). Unless you have glass (or ceramic) filters, decantation may be better than filtering.

That's good to know. No, I don't have anything other than paper filters. Decantation is going to be tricky.
About how much can I dilute it before the titanyl sulfate hydrolyzes?

Not sure really, I know it also depends on temperature.
Take a ml of the original solution and dilute it 1:1. Then take 1 ml of that dilution and dilute it again 1:1. Carry on until cloudiness sets in. Use
the dilutions to check your paper: it gets chewed up badly if the acid is too strong.
