After settling, the clear solution containing the titanium oxide, is run oil andfurther processed, whereby a roduct is obtained containing approximate y 35 per cent titanium oxide, 2 per cent sulphuric acid and 63 per cent of water. This product is known in the trade as titanium acid cake. It is a plastic mags having somewhat the consistency of mu 1 ljha've discovered that lithopone can be greatly improved by the suitable use of this titanium acid cake, and that the results obtained are dependent to a large extent upon the methods'by which this titanium acid cake is used,'in the production of lithopone.
Titanium is one of the most common metals on earth, but it does not occur naturally in this elemental form. TiO2, also known as titanium (IV) oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring compound created when titanium reacts with the oxygen in the air. As an oxide, titanium is found in minerals in the earth’s crust. It is also found with other elements, including calcium and iron.
