Titanium dioxide heat capacity

The oxidation is conducted in a proprietary burner, with extra heat supplied because, although the reaction is exothermic, it is not self-sustaining. The chlorine is recycled. The process was developed by Du Pont in the 1940s, and its first plant started operating in 1958. The Chloride process has progressively replaced the older Sulfate process because it produces less effluent. In 2005, 54% of the world capacity for titanium dioxide production used the Chloride process. See also ICON.
