tion of the precipitate, the mass is filter pressed, dried, muflled and processed in the on the market, in that the {covering capacity of the pigment is greatly increased, as well The titanium oxide is peptized or held in as its fastness to light, and ease of working in oils. It is also superior to the so called double strength lithopone made by doubling the zinc sulphide conent, in that it is very neutral to acid vehicles. It is also far superior to other titanium compounds on the market, inasmuch as greater opacities are obtained with a relatively small amount of titanium oxide, than has heretofore been obtained with far greater proportions of titanium oxide, thereby effecting a considerable economy over that of other similar products containing'titanium oxide.

Should a grade of lithopone be desired higher than the standard grade and another by-productas, for example, a forty-five*per= cent. grade of lithopone and barium chlorid the following process may be pi'acticed,\vhich, however, is quite analogous to the one already 10o described. Aqueous solutions of the ingredients are prepared as before, in these proportions: zinc sulfate, one hundred and sixty-one pounds; zinc chlorid, one hundred and thirty-six pounds, and barium sulfid, three hundred and thirty-eight pounds. Upon mixing these several solutions the lithopone will at once be precipitated in accordance with the following reaction:

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.
