coating used rutile titanium dioxide factories

In addition to these traditional uses, titanium dioxide is gaining popularity in emerging fields such as photocatalysis and solar energy conversiontitanium dioxide product supplier. Its ability to absorb UV light and generate electron-hole pairs makes it suitable for use in devices that convert sunlight into electrical energy. Furthermore, titanium dioxide's photocatalytic properties allow it to break down organic pollutants in water and air, making it an eco-friendly solution for environmental remediation.

A few processes are used to produce TiO2 pigment. Rutile TiO2 is found in nature. This is because the rutile crystal structure is the thermodynamically stable form of titanium dioxide. In chemical processes natural TiO2 can be purified, thus obtaining synthetic TiO2. The pigment can be made from ores, rich in titanium, that are mined from the earth.

Two chemical routes are used to make both rutile and anatase TiO2 pigments.

Having thus described the origin and uses of the pigment, we now come to the question, what is lithopone? It is, in short, a chemical compound usually consisting of 30.5 per cent zinc sulphide, 1.5 per cent zinc oxide and 68 per cent barium sulphate, but these proportions vary slightly in the different makes. Lithopone of this composition is sold as the highest grade, either as red seal or green seal, as it best suits the idea of the manufacturer. Many manufacturers, especially in Europe, sell and also export other brands under other seals, containing 24, 20, 18 and as little as 12 per cent of zinc sulphide with very small percentages of zinc oxide, the balance being usually barium sulphate, but sometimes certain portions of China clay or gypsum (calcium sulphate) or whiting (calcium carbonate). Such brands are not a chemical compound, but mechanical mixtures of the chemically compounded lithopone and the admixtures referred to.
