Resumen de TiO2 or tai bai fen? China's dominance to rise
"The [...] agreement between Henan Billions and Ti-Cons is for the delivering of the complete know-how for the erection and operation of a plant for the production of 100,000 tpa of TiO 2 using the chloride route," Christian Weiland of Ti-Cons, said.
Henan Billions is also developing chloride technology and has partnered with leading paint producer PPG Industries, which produced chloride-route TiO 2 itself in the 1970s, to develop a 100,000 tpa chloride-route plant.
Instead, chloride-route producers prefer to use natural rutile, synthetic rutile and chloride grade titanium slag. The most expensive of these, rutile, has the highest TiO 2 content so gives the lowest waste volumes, followed by synthetic rutile and chloride-grade slag.
