  • Moreover, China's stringent environmental regulations have prompted its importers to prioritize eco-friendly titanium dioxide products. This green initiative has encouraged international producers to adopt cleaner technologies and processes, thereby reducing the environmental footprint associated with titanium dioxide production and consumption. The commitment to sustainability showcased by Chinese importers serves as a model for responsible business practices across industries.

  • In the sulfate process, titanium ore is first converted into titanium sulfate by reacting it with sulfuric acid. The resulting solution is then treated with ammonia to precipitate titanium dioxide. This method is relatively simple and inexpensive but produces large amounts of waste sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate, which need to be treated before disposal.
  • The wholesale classification of calcium carbonate typically includes four main grades pharmaceutical grade, food grade, industrial grade, and agriculture grade. Each grade has specific characteristics and applications that make it suitable for different industries.
  • No. EFSA’s role was limited to evaluating the risks linked to titanium dioxide as a food additive. This included an assessment of relevant scientific information on TiO2, its potential toxicity, and estimates of human dietary exposure. Any legislative or regulatory decisions on the authorisations of food additives are the responsibility of the risk managers (i.e. European Commission and Member States).
