Fourth, since the sulfate required for the production of the present invention is provided by the acid leaching slag itself, the mass fraction of the SO/- contained in the acid leaching slag is 15% or more, and the nanometer is prepared by using the acid leaching residue as the zinc and sulfate raw material of the lithopone. Lide powder products not only realize the resource utilization of acid leaching slag, but also turn waste into treasure, and treat and improve the acidic soil of acid leaching residue to purify the environment. Low production costs and simple operation. The metathesis reaction is carried out in a low-density ammonia system (the metathesis reactant is dissolved in recovered ammonia water), and the crystal nucleus formed is smaller. It is non-toxic and safe. The ammonia solution after synthesis and separation is returned to the leaching. There is no waste water in the whole production process. The produced waste residue meets the national solid waste discharge standard for efflux, conforms to the national industrial policy, and is an environmentally friendly “green” type process.
Infrared analysis showed that the characteristics bands for the bare nanoparticles are still exhibited in the vitamins@P25TiO2NPs spectra, such as a wide peak in 450–1028 cm−1 related to the stretching vibration of Ti-O-Ti and other peaks in 1630 cm−1 and 3400 cm−1, which represent the surface OH groups stretching. The IR spectrum of vitaminB2@P25TiO2NPs showed signs of binding between compounds. The OH bending peak (1634 cm−1) corresponding to bare nanoparticles disappeared, and the NH2 bending band characteristic of vitamin B2 appeared (1650 cm−1). The IR spectrum of vitaminC@P25TiO2NPs also showed signs of successful functionalization. Bands at 1075 cm−1; 1120 cm−1; 1141 cm−1 were observed, which are originated by C
O-C vibrations present in the vitamin C. The intense band at 1672 cm−1 is attributed to the C = O stretching in the lactone ring while the peak at 1026 cm−1 is ascribed to the stretching vibration Ti-O-C. Wide bands at 3880–3600 cm−1 are related to stretching vibration OH groups, but those disappear in the modified nanoparticles spectrum. These observations confirm the interactions between the P25TiO2NPs and the vitamins [35].
For a review published in 2023 in the journal Environmental Pollution, researchers examined E171 as a possible factor promoting obesity-related metabolic disorders. Because gut microbiota play an important role in immune function maintenance and development, and because titanium dioxide as a food additive has been shown to alter gut microbiota, researchers wanted to review “the dysregulations along the gut microbiota-immune system axis after oral TiO2 exposure compared to those reported in obese or diabetic patients, and to highlight potential mechanisms by which foodborne TiO2 nanoparticles may increase the susceptibility to develop obesity-related metabolic disorders.” The study authors discovered recurrent changes in the gut microbiota composition when exposed to titanium dioxide nanoparticles, with an imbalance of intestinal symbiotic microbiota. These changes and imbalances were also reported and played a role in the development of obesity, the authors wrote. This highlights “foodborne TiO2 nanoparticles as an endocrine disruptor-like chemical promoting obesity-related disorders,” the authors concluded.
Be it known that I, Inns P. LIHME, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Processes of Manufacturing Lithopone, of which the following is a specification.
One of the main uses of TiO2 powder is as a pigment in paints and coatings. It is valued for its excellent opacity, brightness, and UV resistance, making it ideal for use in exterior paints, industrial coatings, and automotive finishes. TiO2 powder suppliers work closely with paint manufacturers to supply them with the right grade and quantity of TiO2 powder to meet their specific requirements.
