food safe titanium dioxide manufacturers

The determination of sulfate in various matrices is a critical task for environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and quality assurance in chemical production. When present in high concentrations, sulfates can pose health risks and impact the ecosystem. However, the analytical challenge often lies not just in detecting the presence of sulfates but also in accurately quantifying them, especially when they are to be determined as titanium dioxide (TiO2). This article delves into the methodologies used to determine sulfate as TiO2, highlighting the complexities and nuances involved in such an analysis.

 At present, Lide powder is mainly produced in China. Most of the domestic Lide powder production is still using traditional methods. The main raw materials are zinc oxide, sulfuric acid and barium sulfide (barite and coal are produced by high temperature reduction). Zinc 45% ~ 70%. The traditional method for producing the Liede powder process is to use zinc bakelite containing more than 45% zinc as a raw material to be leached with sulfuric acid to obtain a crude zinc sulfate solution, and then to remove iron by potassium permanganate, and then replace the heavy metal with zinc powder and filter to obtain zinc sulfate. The refined liquid is further subjected to metathesis reaction, pressure filtration, calcination, rinsing, drying, and pulverization with strontium sulfide to obtain a series of different types of lindose powder containing zinc sulfide of 30% or more. The whole process is carried out in an acidic (ra<7) environment, which consumes a large amount of sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid has strong corrosiveness and requires high production equipment. The final discharged slag is acidic slag, which brings new pollution to the environment. High requirements, high production costs, and poor quality of the products obtained.

There are numerous manufacturers of titanium dioxide; the largest include Delaware-based Chemours (a spin-off of DuPont Chemical), Texas-based Kronos, and China-based Lomon Billions Group, all of which manufacture pigments for use in products like paints, coatings, and plastics. UK-based Venator is a major supplier of titanium dioxide used in food and cosmetics, along with paints, paper, plastic, and more. As a pigment, it is called Pigment White 6 (PW6), titanium white, or CI 77891. As a food additive, it is known as E171.
