Titanium Dioxide is a pure white powder. It is used as a white pigment in many commercially available products. Titanium Dioxide is used in paints, plastics, paper, printing ink, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics.The manufacturing of the pure Titanium Dioxide pigment starts with an impure titanium dioxide found in minerals and sand. Going from impure to pure Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) involves converting the TiO2 to another chemical, separating out the impurities, and then converting back to TiO2.There are two ways this is done, the chloride process and the sulphate process. The applications we are concerned with are found within the chloride process, so we will only cover that.
