rutile and anatase titanium dioxide factory


Why all of a sudden is there so much interest in the safety of Titanium Dioxide?

Researchers from France and Luxembourg gave E171 (the much more food friendly name for Titanium Dioxide) in Europe and the United States, to lab rats in their drinking water for 100 days.

Of those rats, 40 per cent of the exposed rodents developed “preneoplastic lesions” or precancerous growths. The Titanium Dioxide also inhibited the immune systems of the rats and “accelerated” the growth of the lesions. France’s INRA agricultural research institute, which took part in the study, said in a statement.“These results demonstrate a role in initiating and promoting the early stages of colorectal cancer formation,” though it said no conclusion could be drawn about later phases of cancer, or of any danger to humans……….(not till they test it on us!!)

The results of the study were published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.

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.

  • The production of rutile and anatase titanium dioxide involves several steps, including the extraction of titanium ore, purification, and finally, the conversion of the ore into the desired crystalline form

  • The CaCO3 and TiO2 factory plays a crucial role in producing these materials on a large scale to meet the growing demand from various industries. The factory utilizes advanced technology and processes to extract and refine CaCO3 and TiO2 from natural resources such as limestone and mineral sands. The production process involves crushing, grinding, and chemical treatment to obtain the desired properties of CaCO3 and TiO2.

  • “Unlike some other chemicals used in food, titanium dioxide has no nutritive, preservative, or food safety function—its use is purely cosmetic,” said CSPI principal scientist for additives and supplements, Thomas Galligan. “The prospect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles damaging DNA is concerning enough for us to recommend consumers avoid foods that have it.”

  • Is Titanium Dioxide Safe?

  • Other scientists, however, have called into question the experimental designs of such studies, citing inconsistent results specifically in studies used to test DNA damage.

  • TiO2 comes in many different forms. However, only a few of these forms are considered food-grade (acceptable to be added to food). Many studies that raised concern about the safety of TiO2, including the concern for genotoxicity, used forms of TiO2 that are not considered acceptable for use in food and have different properties than food-grade TiO2. Other studies did use food-grade TiO2, but took steps to break the material down into smaller particles than what would normally be found in food.

  • 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.
