A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2019 sought to examine the effects of titanium dioxide on intestinal inflammation. Researchers did this by feeding rats titanium dioxide nanoparticles and found that, after the course of two to three months, the animals had lower body weights and induced intestinal inflammation. The researchers also found the nanoparticles altered gut microbiota composition and aggravated chronic colitis. The rats also experienced reduced populations of CD4+T cells (which are cells that help organize immune responses by prompting other immune cells to fight infection), regulatory T cells, and white blood cells in mesenteric lymph nodes. The researchers wrote: “Dietary TiO2 nanoparticles could interfere with the balance of the immune system and dynamic of gut microbiome, which may result in low-grade intestinal inflammation and aggravated immunological response to external stimulus, thus introducing potential health risk.”
Prof. Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), wrote of the decision: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive. A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body.”
First, the ammonia leaching method is used as a technical means for the effective treatment of acid leaching slag, and the nano nitrite powder is prepared under a weak alkaline ( Ή 8 8.5 to 10) ammonia environment. In an alkaline environment, some metal impurities such as The solubility of Ca, Mg, Fe and Al hydroxides is low, and the impurities entering the final immersion liquid in the selective leaching of ammonia-ammonium sulfate are reduced, thereby ensuring the quality of the product; the traditional acid method for preparing lithopone is because of the zinc calcination. In the roasting and reduction process of the alkalized alkali, the elemental sulfur and sulfite are more or less produced, and the prepared white powder has a yellowish color, and the metathesis reaction of the patent is carried out in an ammonia solution (alkaline). The final product obtained is sulfate, which is quickly and thoroughly added by desulfurization through 3⁄40 2 , and the whiteness of the product can be ensured without high temperature calcination; the equipment requirement is lower than that of sulfuric acid leaching, and the ordinary steel leaching tank can complete the leaching; The environmental pollution problem of acid leaching residue, especially effectively solves the environmental pollution of heavy metals such as zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and arsenic in acid leaching residue and the influence of acid ions on the storage environment. Realize the recycling of high-value metal zinc in acid leaching slag, realize the acidity improvement of soil and have the comprehensive advantages of low cost, energy saving and environmental protection.
Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder, C.I. Pigment White 5, is a mixture of inorganic compounds, widely utilized as a white pigment. It is composed of a mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. These insoluble compounds blend well with organic compounds and confer opacity. Lithopone B301, Lithopone B311 powder is famous for the cheap production costs, greater coverage. Related white pigments include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide (zinc white), and zinc sulfide
Titanium dioxide morning tips
1 Rutile type titanium dioxide
As of the close of last Friday, the average price of the sulfuric acid rutile titanium dioxide market assessment is 15683 yuan/ton, the domestic market mainstream negotiation reference 15200-16200 yuan/ton, the mainstream factory in hand orders are okay, coupled with the upstream raw materials expected to be strong, the new single offer to maintain a strong state, the market low price supply reduction.
According to the feedback of manufacturers, the recent mainstream factory new single price, the overall market transaction focus has moved up. On the demand side, the terminal in August is still the off-season, many downstream last month to replenish just need inventory, the current batch purchase intention is limited, the market turnover is low. From the supply side, the mainstream manufacturers still have production reduction or maintenance adjustment inventory in the off-season, and the supply side output is low. Some plastics and papermaking related downstream feedback some models have high prices. Recent titanium dioxide raw material price upward support has been enhanced, comprehensive market factors, the current titanium dioxide market into the stable price state after rising.
2 Anatase titanium dioxide
As of the close of last Friday, the average price of the domestic anatene titanium dioxide market was estimated at 13,000 yuan/ton, and the mainstream reference range for negotiation was mostly centered on 12,500-13,500 yuan/ton. The actual direct selling link price is still more reference in 13,000 yuan/ton. Some lower-priced producers offer even lower prices. On the demand side, because the current price is still relatively low, some downstream bargain purchasing. On the supply side, some manufacturers operate at low load or have maintenance plans. The comprehensive market supply and demand situation and the trend of raw material prices rise, the current market actual transaction price is stable and strong, some manufacturers of titanium diox
On absorption of UV light, photo-generated titanium dioxide particles create singlet oxygen, superoxide anions (O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH-) that are potent free radicals (1,2). Irradiated particles of titanium dioxide can induce oxidative damage to DNA (2) which can lead to the development of mutant cells and skin cancers (3,4,5,6) and lipid peroxidation of essential functions on the cell membrane (7).
