dissolving titanium dioxide factory

In a preferred technical solution, 3⁄40 2 is added to the Lide powder emulsion of the metathesis reaction step, and the mass fraction of 3⁄40 2 added is 10 to 33%, and the lithopone emulsion is desulfurized (mainly hydrosulfate ion or Elemental sulfur), slowly added 3⁄40 2 until the lithopone emulsion is colorless and transparent. The obtained sulfate ion can be recycled and reused in the production process. The chemical reaction equation is: 43⁄40 2 + HS— + OH— → SO/— + 5H 2 0

JECFA previously assessed titanium dioxide at its 13th meeting, at which time the expert committee assigned a “not specified” ADI for the additive due to an absence of significant absorption and a lack of toxicological effects in the available experimental animal and human studies. Since its original evaluation by JECFA, titanium dioxide has become a public point of contention, with its ban being introduced (and then subsequently withdrawn) in California legislation in 2023, a legal battle playing out in the EU over the additive’s ban and classification as a carcinogen in 2022, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) calling titanium dioxide unsafe. However, supporters of titanium dioxide say that claims about its dangers are founded in unreliable studies, and some recent research has supported its safety as a food additive.
