A novel, economic and eco-friendly process for bulk synthesis of Phase pure Titanium dioxide nanoparticles.
The present process provides an economic, eco-friendly; easy and simple process for bulk synthesis of crystalline Rutile or Anatase phase TiO2 nanoparticles. Involves low temperature.
Process is feasible at commercial scale.
Technology Benefits Summary, Differentiation & Uniqueness:
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the most widely used white pigment, for example in paints. It has high brightness and a very high refractive index. TiO2 is also an effective opacifier, making substances more opaque. Clean, safe and eco-friendly process, environmentally much more benign compared to existing commercial process.
Process is feasible at commercial scale.
