One common method to determine sulfate as TiO2 involves gravimetric analysis. In this technique, a sample containing sulfate is treated with barium chloride, resulting in the precipitation of barium sulfate. The precipitate is then filtered, dried, and weighed. The weight of the barium sulfate precipitate correlates directly with the amount of sulfate originally present in the sample. To express this as TiO2, a conversion factor based on stoichiometry is applied. This method, while straightforward, can be time-consuming and subject to errors in filtration and drying.

Over the last several years, nanoparticles have come under scrutiny for adverse health effects. Nanoparticles are ultrafine particles between 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter. (To put this in perspective, the average human hair is around 80,000 nanometers thick.) Because of their size, which can be engineered and manipulated at the atomic or molecular level, nanoparticles exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. Titanium dioxide is one of the most commonly produced nanoparticles in the world.
