The refractive index of a pigment at each wavelength is determined by its crystal structure. Titanium dioxide pigments (rutile and anatase) differ from each other and from other white pigments or crystalline substances, like silicon dioxide, in the proportion of radiant energy that is transmitted, absorbed, or re-...

Titanium dioxide has higher opacity than other white pigments. Rutile is about 15% higher than anatase but more than double that of zinc sulfide, more than three times that of antimony oxide, and more than ten times that of calcium carbonate. 

Rutile pigments, prepared by dissolving chromophoric oxides in an oxidation state different from +4 in the mtile crystal lattice, have been described (25,26). To maintain the proper charge balance of the lattice, additional charge-compensating cations of different metal oxides also have to be dissolved in the mtile stmcture. Examples of such combinations are Ni " + Sb " in 1 2 ratio as NiO + Sb202, + Sb " in 1 1 ratio as Cr202 + Sb O, and Cr " +...

The main oxides are the dioxides. In fact, Ti02 is by far the most important compound formed by the elements of this group, its importance arising predominantly from its use as a white pigment (see Panel, p. 959). It exists at room temperature in three forms — rutile, anatase and brookite, each of which occurs naturally. Each contains 6-coordinate titanium but rutile is the most common form, both in nature and as produced commercially, and the others transform into it on heating. The rutile... 

Titanium dioxide exists in nature as three different polymorphs rutile, anatase and brookite. This material has been extensively studied during the last few decades due to its interesting physical properties and numerous technological applications. Rutile and anatase (a popular white pigment) are widely used in photocataly s and as sensors. Both of them have had new structural and electronic applications suggested recently (see for a review). 

There is a difference of a factor of five in energy consumption between the two processes, largely due to the avoidance of evaporation of large amounts of water in the latter process. Despite this both processes still operate, although the chloride process does dominate. There are two main reasons for this first the sulfate process can use lower grade and therefore less expensive ores and secondly it produces anatase pigments as well as rutile, which is the sole product of the chloride process.

Titanium dioxide (E171, Cl white 6) is a white, opaque mineral occurring naturally in three main forms rutile, anatase, and brookite. More than 4 million tons of titanium dioxide are produced per year and it is widely used for industrial applications (paints, inks, plastics, textiles) and in small amounts as a food colorant. ° "° Production and properties — Titanium oxide is mainly produced from ilmenite, a titaniferous ore (FeTiOj). Rutile and anatase are relatively pure titanium dioxide (Ti02) forms. Titanium oxide pigment is produced via chloride or sulfate processes via the treatment of the titanium oxide ore with chlorine gas or sulfuric acid, followed by a series of purification steps. High-purity anatase is preferred for utilization in the food industry. It may be coated with small amounts of alumina or silica to improve technological properties. 

Baudoin etal. [168,169] first presented qualitative depth profiles of lacquer and polymer coatings by means of r.f. GD-OES. Quantitative depth profiles were successively obtained by Payling et al. [170] on prepainted metal coated steel. Samples comprised a (rutile) pigmented silicone-modified polyester topcoat over a polymer primer, on top of an aluminium-zinc-silicon alloy coated steel substrate. With GD-OES in r.f. mode, it was possible to determine the depth profile through the polymer topcoat, polymer primer coat, metal alloy coating, and alloy layer binding to the steel substrate with a total depth of 50 im, all in about 60 min on the one sample. GD-OES depth profiles of unexposed and weathered silicone-modified polyesters were also reported [171]. Radiofrequency GD-OES has further been used to...
