The vitaminC@P25TiO2NPs, on the other side, did not have any effect on cell protection against ROS. This might be due to the fact that vitamin C, a well-known scavenger of ROS, could behave as prooxidant and even promote ROS and lipid peroxidation [39]. It was recently described that at small concentrations of vitamin C, the prooxidant effects dominate; while in large concentrations the antioxidant ones predominate [40]. The effect also depends on the cell state and the interaction of vitamin C with light. In this case, ascorbic acid may act as an antenna to harvest visible light when conjugated to P25TiO2NPs. Indeed, it was previously found that this combination (in some ratios) could have an improved photocatalytic activity, possibly due to a red shift in its light absorbance [41]. Further studies on vitaminC@P25TiO2NPs were not conducted, because of the poor antioxidant capacity [42].

One notable aspect of TiO2 factories is their commitment to sustainable practices. Given the potential environmental impact of titanium dioxide production, these factories often incorporate advanced technologies to minimize waste and reduce emissions. For instance, the chloride process and sulfate process, two primary methods used in TiO2 manufacturing, are continuously being refined for higher efficiency and lower environmental footprint.

Rutile, also known as titanium oxide (TiO2), is a hard, lustrous, and chemically inert mineral. It is composed of titanium and oxygen atoms and has a tetragonal crystal structure. Rutile is characterized by its high refractive index, high melting point, and excellent electrical conductivity. These properties make it an ideal material for a wide range of applications, including pigments, coatings, plastics, ceramics, and electronics.

A titanium dioxide powder factory is a complex operation that involves the extraction, purification, and conversion of titanium ore into a versatile pigment. While the production process has significant environmental impacts, manufacturers are taking steps to adopt more sustainable practices and reduce their environmental footprint. As demand for titanium dioxide powder continues to grow, it is essential that manufacturers prioritize environmental responsibility while maintaining high standards of product quality and safety.

1. The process for preparing from solution, lithoponeof various grades and a soluble commercial byproduct preferably of sodium, which consists in preparing separate solutions of zinc sulfate and barium'sulfid, which solutions are mixed with each other and with that of a third salt adapted to enter into combination with a freed acid group from the firstnamed salts, the same being brought together in equivalent and calculated amounts to produce and precipitate lithopone of the desired percentage, and leave in solution the soluble by-product, substantially as described.

TiO2 NPs appeared to be more toxic to nematode Caenorhabditis elegans than submicron-sized TiO2.  At a concentration of 1 mg/l, 7 nm particles affected its fertility and survival rate and were more toxic than 20 nm anatase particles. Similarly, Hu et al. showed that rutile particles (10–20 nm), at concentrations above 1 g/kg soil, can be bio-accumulated in earthworms, where they induce oxidative stress, inhibit the activity of cellulase and induce DNA and mitochondrial damage.
