The manufacturing process of lithopone involves several steps, including sulfide precipitation, grinding, classification, and packaging. During the sulfide precipitation stage, zinc sulfide and barium sulfate are reacted in an aqueous solution under controlled conditions to form a precipitate of lithopone. The precipitate is then washed, dried, and ground to the desired particle size distribution. Finally, the ground pigment is classified to remove any oversized or undersized particles and packaged for storage and transportation.

In addition to its biocompatibility, titanium dioxide also possesses excellent photocatalytic properties. When exposed to ultraviolet light, it can generate reactive oxygen species, which have potent antibacterial effects. This property makes titanium dioxide a promising candidate for developing anti-infective medical products. For example, titanium dioxide-coated medical devices could reduce the risk of bacterial infection by killing bacteria on their surface.

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.
