Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is an inorganic chemical product containing white pigment. It is a well-researched product in chemistry. It is important due to its wide applications. Existing in 3 forms (rutile, anatase, and brookite) it has three types of crystal structure. Rutile and anatase are tetragonal crystalline solids while brookite is orthorhombic. It is also named ad titania, a naturally occurring oxide of titanium. It is an infusible amorphous solid.
It is used in numerous industrial applications like:-
Its appearance is a white pigment or colorless crystalline powder. It is soluble in ethanol and water. On decomposing, it converts to other titanium oxides like TiO, and Ti2O3. It is a metal compound with alkaline nature. It is a divalent chemical product of the laboratory. It is insoluble in organic compounds but soluble in acids. It is odorless and tasteless.
It can be formed by either titanium slag and ilmenite. One can extract titanium pigment by chlorine route or sulphate process. But sulphate process takes on simpler technology.
