titanium dioxide (rutile cr681) manufacturers

Rutile, the most common form of titanium dioxide, is a reddish-brown pigment with a high refractive index and excellent weathering resistance. It is mainly used in paints, coatings, plastics, and paper industries due to its ability to provide excellent whiteness, opacity, and UV protection. Rutile titanium dioxide is typically produced by the sulfate process, which involves the reaction of titanium ore with sulfuric acid to produce titanium sulfate. The resulting solution is then treated with ammonia to precipitate titanium hydroxide, which is subsequently calcined at high temperatures to obtain rutile titanium dioxide.

The process described is seen to consist of preparing separate solutions of readily-soluble salts of zinc and barium together with a third salt, which will further the reaction and at the same time upon uniting the solutions produce by one set of combinations lithopone and a marketable byproduct. This process, moreover, insures the greatest purity of the substances produced and avoids the expense attendant upon more difficult methods in common use. Thisis particularly true with respect to the manufacture of various grades of lithopone, since by properly calculating the amounts of the ingredients used, as above illustrated, any desired quality of lithopone may be produced without mixing additional substances to increase or decrease the percentage of zinc sulfid. The entire product, too, is an absolutely uniform mixture when prepared in accordance with my process.

In 1970, Japanese scholars studied the phase diagram of iron oxide microcrystalline formation, which laid a theoretical foundation for the preparation method of iron oxide yellow crystal seed. According to the research results, iron yellow crystal seeds can be formed under acidic or alkaline conditions. Because iron yellow is a crystal structure, in order to crystallize into pigment particles, it must first form crystal nucleus and become crystal seed, and then the crystal nucleus grows into iron yellow. Otherwise, only thin and dim color paste can be obtained, which does not have pigment properties. Acid process can be divided into iron sheet process and drop addition process.

  • Inner wall coating factories are continuously working to develop new and improved coatings that meet the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products
  •  At present, Lide powder is mainly produced in China. Most of the domestic Lide powder production is still using traditional methods. The main raw materials are zinc oxide, sulfuric acid and barium sulfide (barite and coal are produced by high temperature reduction). Zinc 45% ~ 70%. The traditional method for producing the Liede powder process is to use zinc bakelite containing more than 45% zinc as a raw material to be leached with sulfuric acid to obtain a crude zinc sulfate solution, and then to remove iron by potassium permanganate, and then replace the heavy metal with zinc powder and filter to obtain zinc sulfate. The refined liquid is further subjected to metathesis reaction, pressure filtration, calcination, rinsing, drying, and pulverization with strontium sulfide to obtain a series of different types of lindose powder containing zinc sulfide of 30% or more. The whole process is carried out in an acidic (ra<7) environment, which consumes a large amount of sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid has strong corrosiveness and requires high production equipment. The final discharged slag is acidic slag, which brings new pollution to the environment. High requirements, high production costs, and poor quality of the products obtained.
  • In 2016, the European Food Safety Authority, or EFSA, assessed titanium dioxide and determined that the evidence available at the time didn’t conclusively point to any health problems for consumers.
