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.

In addition, with the increasing demand for zinc compounds and lithopone, the continuous exploitation of zinc resources in China, the increasingly poor, fine and complex mineral resources, the comprehensive utilization and environmental protection requirements continue to improve, people have begun to study the recovery of low-zinc raw materials. Use technology. The so-called low-zinc raw materials are mainly low-grade zinc oxide ore, but in addition to low-grade oxidation In addition to zinc in zinc ore, zinc is also present in the acid leaching residue.

In a 2019 study published in the journal Nanotoxicology, researchers recreated the first phase of digestion in mice and fed them titanium dioxide, then examined whether accumulation occurred in the organs. Researchers wrote: “Significant accumulation of titanium was observed in the liver and intestine of E171-fed mice; in the latter a threefold increase in the number of TiO2 particles was also measured. Titanium accumulation in the liver was associated with necroinflammatory foci containing tissue monocytes/macrophages. Three days after the last dose, increased superoxide production and inflammation were observed in the stomach and intestine. Overall, [this] indicates that the risk for human health associated with dietary exposure to E171 needs to be carefully considered.”
