    Titanium Dioxide Introduction Titanium Dioxide IntroductionTitanium Dioxide, English Titanium Dioxide, is an important inorganic chemical pigment.
    The main component is titanium dioxide and the molecular formula is TiO2.
    It is insoluble in water and weak acid, but soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid, alkali and hydrofluoric acid
    .
    Titanium dioxide can be made from ilmenite, rutile, or titanium slag
    .
    It has important applications in coatings, printing inks, papermaking, plastic rubber, chemical fiber, ceramics and other industries
    .
    Melting point and boiling point Anatase will transform into rutile at high temperature, so the melting point and boiling point of anatase titanium dioxide are practically non-existent
    .
    Only rutile titanium dioxide has a melting point and boiling point.
    The melting point of rutile titanium dioxide is 1850°C, the melting point in air is (1830±15)°C, and the melting point in oxygen enrichment is 1879°C.
    The melting point is related to the purity of titanium dioxide
    .
    The boiling point of rutile titanium dioxide is (3200±300)°C, and titanium dioxide is slightly volatile at this high temperature
    .
    Titanium Industry Chain Diagram Titanium Industry Chain Diagram The main raw material of titanium dioxide upstream is titanium ore.
    The sulfuric acid method titanium dioxide is obtained by adding sulfuric acid, and the chloride method titanium dioxide is obtained by adding titanium tetrachloride
    .
    The main downstream products include coatings and plastics
    .
    Production process production process The production process of titanium dioxide has two process routes: sulfuric acid method and chloride method.
    Anatase is referred to as A type, and Rutile is referred to as R type
    .
    The sulfuric acid process started in 1925 and was first applied by the National Lead Industry of the United States
    .
    The chlorination process started in 1932 and was first invented by the German Farben Company.
    In 1959, DuPont developed the DuPont process and built a 100,000-ton/year production plant, realizing the industrialization of the chlorination process
    .
    Relatively speaking, the chlorination process is technically difficult, and the core technology is only mastered by a few companies
    .
    The production capacity of foreign chlorination process accounts for 76%
    .
    Proportion of downstream consumer products Proportion of downstream consumer products 
    The main downstream products of titanium dioxide in China are coatings, which account for 61%, plastics and rubbers for 19%, papermaking for 7%, and other industries for 13%
    .
    2020-2021 China's titanium dioxide output and operating rate 2020-2021 China's titanium dioxide output and operating rate     From January to November 2021 , the cumulative output of titanium dioxide was approximately 3,479,100 tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.
    88% , and the output increased by approximately 312,900 tons
    .
    2020-2021 China's titanium dioxide import and export 2020-2021 China's titanium dioxide import and export    2021 Nian 1-10 Yue titanium dioxide imported a total of about 15.
    91 million tons last year, an increase of 2.
    35 million tons, an increase of 17.
    30% 2021 Nian 1-10 Yue titanium dioxide, total exports of about 105.
    45 million tons last year, an increase of 6.
    23 million tons, The increase was 6.
    32% .
    2020-2021 China's apparent consumption of titanium dioxide 2020-2021 China's apparent consumption of titanium dioxide  
     
    As of 2021 Nian 10 months, China's total apparent consumption of titanium dioxide 224.
    11 million tons last year, an increase of 26.

    2021 China's titanium dioxide prices 2021 China's titanium dioxide prices   2021 Nian Chinese titanium dioxide prices Change up a whole was down trend, rutile titanium dioxide, for example, a quarter of the price from the beginning of the quarter 16150 up 2800 Yuan / ton to 18950 Yuan / ton, or 17.
    3% ; the second quarter, prices continue upward from 18950 up 1300 to 20250 , or 6.
    9% ; the third quarter, prices were down rising trend, enter 6-7 Yue into the off-season market, prices fell to 19850 Yuan / ton, the market season in September, the price rebounded to the current mainstream 20000 Yuan / About ton, the price dropped from 20,250 yuan / ton at the beginning of the third quarter to 20,000 yuan / ton, a drop of 1.
    23% ; into the fourth quarter, the price showed a steady trend of rising and falling , and the price at the beginning of the quarter increased from 20,000 yuan / ton.
    The ton rose to RMB 20,250 / ton.
    As the market entered the off-season, the market price fell twice in a row, at the beginning of November and at the end of November .
    The price dropped by RMB 250 / ton to RMB 19,750 / ton .
    In the off-season of the titanium dioxide market, downstream demand remains weak, and market prices have fallen; near the end of the year, some manufacturers have planned to maintain their equipment and, coupled with the stabilization of raw material prices, some titanium dioxide manufacturers have strong intentions to stabilize prices.
    According to market news, Longqi prices will increase.
    The titanium dioxide market is improving .
