Thusfive hundred and sixty-three pounds of a seventeen-per-ccnt. grade of lithopone will be precipitated, from which the soda liquor may be filtered and then washed out. Fifty six pounds of sodium hydrosulfid may then be recovered from the solution, if no further treatment thereof is contemplated, by any suitable evaporating process. By employing sodium sulfate and suitably altering the reaction I have also produced lithopone and sogo dium sulfid. The products of these reactions will be found to be of unusual purity and require no subsequent treatment for placing them upon the market.

Lithopone was developed in the 1870s as a substitute for lead carbonate (lead white), to overcome its drawbacks of toxicity and poor weathering resistance. Within a few years, titanium dioxide displaced lithopone to become the white pigment (PW6) par excellence in the industry and the world’s best-selling inorganic pigment. However, titanium is a product whose price is subject to large price variations due to product availability. These price increases affect the competitiveness of finished products, and so the search for an alternative to titanium dioxide has generated a variety of possibilities to optimise its use.
