china formation of titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide (TiO2). Titanium dioxide is the most common white pigment used today. As a pigment, titanium dioxide is unique because it combines both high colouring and high opacifying capacity. This is mainly due to its high refractive index (2.7). Furthermore, titanium dioxide is an excellent UV absorber (it is used in sun protective creams). Some typical properties are: density 3.3-4.25 g/cm3; pH of water suspension 3.5-10.5; particle size 8–300 nm; oil absorption 10–45 g/100 g; specific surface area 7–160 m2/g. Most titanium dioxide is produced from the rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (titanate of ferrous iron). Titanium dioxide can be obtained using different processes.

Anatase TiO2 with 99.6% purity finds widespread application in various industries. It is extensively used as a pigment in paints, coatings, plastics, and textiles due to its excellent whiteness, opacity, and weather resistance. In the construction industry, it is employed as a photocatalyst for self-cleaning surfaces and as a filler to improve the strength and durability of cement and concrete. Additionally, it finds applications in the electronics industry as a transparent conductor and in the food industry as an additive to enhance the whiteness and brightness of products.
