rutile titanium dioxide

 2) Purification: Add ammonium persulfate to the final immersion solution for one-time oxidation and iron removal, and add activated carbon to adsorb arsenic and iron co-precipitation to achieve the purpose of removing arsenic. Add the polyacrylamide coagulant to separate and filter before separation. The sulfide solution is added to the solution to remove sulfur, and the separated filtrate obtained by the separation is replaced with zinc powder to remove the remaining impurities to obtain a zinc sulfate ammonia complex liquid, which is used in the next step;

A 2023 study published in the journal Particle and Fibre Toxicology set out to examine the impact of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in mice “on the course and prognosis of ulcerative colitis,” by creating an ulcerative colitis disease model. Researchers found that the titanium dioxide nanoparticles significantly increased the severity of colitis. They also “decreased the body weight, increased the disease activity index and colonic mucosa damage index scores, shortened the colonic length, increased the inflammatory infiltration in the colon.” Researchers concluded: “Oral intake of TiO2 nanoparticles could affect the course of acute colitis in exacerbating the development of ulcerative colitis, prolonging the ulcerative colitis course and inhibiting ulcerative colitis recovery.”

As awareness of the environmental consequences associated with industrial activities heightened, TiO2 industry factories began to adopt cleaner production technologies. Innovations such as the chloride process offered not only improved yields but also reduced energy consumption and waste generation. Moreover, the introduction of advanced filtration systems and waste treatment protocols significantly mitigated the environmental impact of TiO2 manufacturing.
