In nature, titanium dioxide can occur in three crystallographic forms, that is, in the form of the three minerals rutile, anatase, and brucite. However, if it is obtained industrially from titanium-containing raw materials (mainly ilmenite, titanium and iron-bearing mineral), different crystallographic forms with slightly different properties can be obtained depending on the method of preparation.
During TiO2 production, a salt, either titanium sulfate or titanium chloride, is formed from which titanium white is eventually produced. Therefore, the two main methods for producing TiO2 are called sulfate (the older method) and chloride. In the sulfate method, titanium dioxide is obtained by precipitation from titanium sulfate, and in the chloride method by oxidation at high temperature with titanium tetrachloride. The newer chloride method was created as an alternative to sulfate, an alternative that generates less waste and provides higher quality titanium white. Older method, however, has a serious advantage - it can produce TiO2 in both rutile and anatase forms, which is preferable in some applications, while the chloride method allows only one crystallographic form, rutile. In addition, not all waste products from TiO2 production by the sulfate method are useless and harmful - for example, iron sulfate is successfully used for wastewater treatment. Therefore, this method is still widely used and dominates in Europe. New TiO2 plants, established mainly in the United States, Canada or Japan, already use the chloride method.
White titanium is widely used mainly in the steel industry for the production of electrodes, in the paint industry as a white pigment, for coloring concrete products, for the production of paper, rubber products, and food (as dye E171) and cosmetics. It is predominantly intended for use as a paint component because of its high brightness and very high light reflection coefficient, so it is often used in paints intended for roofing or other elements that should not be heated. An important advantage of TiO2 is also its absorption of ultraviolet radiation (which ensures high durability of products containing this pigment), as well as its non-toxicity and environmental friendliness.
