The photocatalytic properties of rutile titanium dioxide make it an important material in environmental applicationstitanium oxide rutile. When exposed to ultraviolet light, it can catalyze reactions that break down organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water, thereby helping to purify air and water. This feature is utilized in self-cleaning surfaces, air purification systems, and even in the development of certain antimicrobial products.

The production process of titanium dioxide involves several stages, starting with the extraction of raw materials from mineral ores such as ilmenite, rutile, and anatase. These ores are then processed through various methods, including the sulfate and chloride processes, to produce high-purity titanium dioxide powder. The sulfate process involves treating the ore with sulfuric acid to extract titanium dioxide, while the chloride process uses chlorine gas to produce a purer form of the pigment.
