The agglomeration of two TiO 2 pigments (0.2‐1.0μ) dispersed in an agitated 1% saline solution has been studied by a sequential count method using a Coulter counter. A model based on collision frequency due to the turbulent motion in a stirred vessel predicts the second order rate constant k to be proportional to agglomerate volume and to stirrer speed to the power 3/2. Experimental values of k were proportional to threshold volume to the power 0.79, stirrer speed to the power 1.3, and independent of TiO 2 concentration
