tinox titanium dioxide factory

  • Wholesale TI02 powder plays a critical role in photocatalysis, a process that harnesses sunlight to drive chemical reactions
  • For that reason, the Center for Science in the Public Interest has graded titanium dioxide as a food additive that consumers should seek to “avoid.” Scientists at the nonprofit nutrition and food safety watchdog group today published a new entry for titanium dioxide in its Chemical Cuisine database of food additives.  

  • The purified titanium ore is then subjected to the chloride process, which is the most common method for producing titanium dioxide powder. In this process, the ore is reacted with chlorine gas and hydrogen to produce titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The TiCl4 is then purified and oxidized in a furnace at high temperatures to produce titanium dioxide powder.
