In a study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology in 2020, researchers examined the effects of food additives titanium dioxide and silica on the intestinal tract by grouping and feeding mice three different food-grade particles — micro-TiO2, nano-TiO2, and nano-SiO2.  With all three groups, researchers observed changes in the gut microbiota, particularly mucus-associated bacteria. Furthermore, all three groups experienced inflammatory damage to the intestine, but the nano-TiO2 displayed the most pronounced changes. The researchers wrote: “Our results suggest that the toxic effects on the intestine were due to reduced intestinal mucus barrier function and an increase in metabolite lipopolysaccharides which activated the expression of inflammatory factors downstream. In mice exposed to nano-TiO2, the intestinal PKC/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated. These findings will raise awareness of toxicities associated with the use of food-grade TiO2 and SiO2.”

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
