The produced barium sulfide enters the leacher, and the temperature is controlled above 65°C to obtain a barium sulfide content of 70%, and then enters the clarification barrel, add zinc sulfate for reaction after clarification, control the zinc sulfate content to be greater than 28%, pH=8~9, and obtain a mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide with a density of 1.296~1.357 g/cm3.

Titanium dioxide used for adhesive applications should contain an inorganic coating to control polarity, improve its ease of dispersion, and improve its weather resistance. The inorganic coating (zirconium dioxide, silica, alumina) is applied in the aqueous slurry by precipitation of one or more hydrated metal oxides and by neutralization of acidic and alkaline compounds.

Still, you may wonder whether it’s safe for consumption.

Lithopone 30% is a perfect alternative to titanium dioxide in all natural and synthetic pigmented elastomers, as it is non-abrasive and extremely acid resistant. 

③ Paper making industry: Paper making and paper products industry is the third largest application industry of titanium dioxide. Paper using titanium dioxide has good whiteness, high strength, luster, thin and smooth, and is not easy to penetrate when printing. Under the same conditions, the opacity is 10 times higher than that of paper using calcium carbonate and talc powder, and the weight can also be reduced by 15% to 30%. The amount of titanium dioxide in decorative paper accounts for 20%~40% of its raw materials, and the amount of titanium dioxide in other papers is about 1%~5%. Due to the continuous adjustment of the industrial structure of the paper products industry from 2016 to 2018, according to the data of China Paper Association, the output of China's paper products in 2019 was 72.19 million tons, a significant year-on-year increase of 29.4%, and the use of titanium dioxide increased significantly.
