Titanium(IV) oxide
Let’s start with the topic of titanium oxide—an indispensable inorganic chemical pigment and the primary component of titanium dioxide, presents itself as a white amorphous powder. Natural occurrences of titanium dioxide manifest in three distinct variants:
- Rutile, forming a tetragonal crystal
- Anatase also appears as a tetragonal crystal
- Titanite, taking the form of an orthogonal crystal
Upon exposure to mild heat, this compound exhibits a yellow hue, while under more substantial heat, it transforms into a rich brown color. It boasts excellent insolubility in water, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, and organic solvents. However, it can be dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid, with only slight solubility in alkali and hot nitric acid.
With this rewritten content, we have introduced the desired perplexity and burstiness, maintaining unpredictability that keeps readers engaged and interested in titanium oxide.

Description:
Preparation method:
1. The process commences by dissolving industrial titanium oxide sulfate in water, followed by filtration. Subsequently, ammonia water is added to precipitate gruel, and the mixture is filtered again. The next step involves dissolving it with an oxalic acid solution, followed by precipitation and filtration using ammonia water. Finally, the resulting residue is dried at 170℃ and roasted at 540℃ to yield pure titanium dioxide.
2. The extraction primarily relies on open-pit mining techniques. The beneficiation of titanium primary ore can be categorized into three stages:
- Preparation involving joint magnetic separation and gravity separation.
- Iron separation, which utilizes magnetic separation.
- Titanium separation, incorporating gravity separation, magnetic separation, electric separation, and flotation.
On the other hand, the beneficiation of titanium-zirconium placer (mainly seaside placer, followed by inland placer) involves two stages: roughing and selecting.

Physical and Chemical Properties | White powder. white powder with soft texture, odorless and tasteless, strong hiding power and coloring power, melting point 1560~1580 ℃. Insoluble in water, dilute inorganic acid, organic solvent, oil, slightly soluble in alkali, soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. It turns yellow when heated and white after cooling. Rutile (R-type) has a density of 4.26g/cm3 and a refractive index of 2.72. R type titanium dioxide has good weather resistance, water resistance and not easy to yellow characteristics, but slightly poor whiteness. Anatase (Type A) has a density of 3.84g/cm3 and a refractive index of 2.55. Type a titanium dioxide light resistance is poor, not resistant to weathering, but the whiteness is better. In recent years, it has been found that nano-sized ultrafine titanium dioxide (usually 10 to 50 nm) has Semiconductor properties, and has high stability, high transparency, high activity and high dispersibility, no toxicity and color effect. |
