Titanium Dioxide - Titania ( TiO2)

Titania TiO2 exists in a number of crystalline forms the most important of which are anatase and rutile.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

Pure titanium dioxide does not occur in nature but is derived from ilmenite or leuxocene ores. It is also readily mined in one of the purest forms, rutile beach sand.

These ores are the principal raw materials used in the manufacture of titanium dioxide pigment. The first step is to purify the ore, and is basically a refinement step. Either the sulphate process, which uses sulphuric acid as an extraction agent or the chloride process, which uses chlorine, may achieve this. After purification the powders may be treated (coated) to enhance their performance as pigments.

Key Properties

Physical and mechanical properties of sintered titania are summarised in table 1, while optical properties of titania are provided in table 2.

Applications

Applications for sintered titania are limited by its relatively poor mechanical properties. It does however find a number of electrical uses in sensors and electrocatalysis. By far its most widely used application is as a pigment, where it is used in powder form, exploiting its optical properties.

Pigments

The most important function of titanium dioxide however is in powder form as a pigment for providing whiteness and opacity to such products such as paints and coatings (including glazes and enamels), plastics, paper, inks, fibres and food and cosmetics.

Titanium dioxide is by far the most widely used white pigment. Titania is very white and has a very high refractive index &#; surpassed only by diamond. The refractive index determines the opacity that the material confers to the matrix in which the pigment is housed. Hence, with its high refractive index, relatively low levels of titania pigment are required to achieve a white opaque coating.

The high refractive index and bright white colour of titanium dioxide make it an effective opacifier for pigments. The material is used as an opacifier in glass and porcelain enamels, cosmetics, sunscreens, paper, and paints. One of the major advantages of the material for exposed applications is its resistance to discoloration under UV light.

Photocatalysis

Titania acts as a photosensitiser for photovoltaic cells, and when used as an electrode coating in photoelectrolysis cells can enhance the efficiency of electrolytic splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Oxygen Sensors

Even in mildly reducing atmospheres titania tends to lose oxygen and become sub stoichiometric. In this form the material becomes a semiconductor and the electrical resistivity of the material can be correlated to the oxygen content of the atmosphere to which it is exposed.  Hence titania can be used to sense the amount of oxygen (or reducing species) present in an atmosphere.

Antimicrobial Coatings

The photocatalytic activity of titania results in thin coatings of the material exhibiting self cleaning and disinfecting properties under exposure to UV radiation. These properties make the material a candidate for applications such as medical devices, food preparation surfaces, air conditioning filters, and sanitaryware surfaces.

Titanium dioxide - Properties


White amorphous powder. There are three variations of titanium dioxide found in nature: rutile is a tetra crystal; Anatase is tetragonal crystal; Plate titanite is an orthogonal crystal. It is yellow for mild heat and brown for strong heat. Insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid or dilute sulfuric acid and organic solvents, soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, slightly soluble in alkali and hot nitric acid. Long boiling to dissolve in concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid. Interacts with molten sodium hydroxide to form titanate. At high temperature, it can be reduced to low-priced titanides by hydrogen, carbon and sodium metal, and can react with carbon disulfide to form titanium disulfide. The refractive index of titanium dioxide, which is the largest among white pigments, is 8.70 for rutile and 2.55 for anatase. The melting and boiling points of both anatase and anatase TIO 2 are virtually non-existent because they are converted into rutile at high temperatures. Only rutile titanium dioxide has melting point and boiling point. The melting point of rutile titanium dioxide is &#;, the melting point in air ( soil 15)&#;, the melting point in oxygen-rich &#;, and the melting point is related to the purity of titanium dioxide. The boiling point of rutile titanium dioxide is ( soil 300)K. At this high temperature, titanium dioxide is slightly volatile.

Titanium dioxide - Preparation method


&#; Dissolve industrial titanium sulfate in water and filter. Add ammonia to precipitate gruel, then filter. Then it was dissolved with oxalic acid solution, precipitated with ammonia and filtered.

Primary titanium ore dressing can be divided into pre-separation (commonly used magnetic separation and gravity separation method), iron separation (magnetic separation method), titanium (gravity separation, magnetic separation, electric separation and flotation method) three stages; The beneficiation of titanium and zirconium placer (mainly coastal placer, followed by inland placer) can be divided into two stages: roughing and cleaning. In , Zhengzhou Institute of Comprehensive UTILIZATION of Ministry of Geology and MINERAL Resources adopted magnetic separation, gravity separation and acid leaching process to beneficiate Xixia super large rutile ore in Henan Province, which has passed the trial production, and all the indicators are in the leading level in China.
