Titanium dioxide (TiO2), often referred to as titanium, is a white, shiny powder widely utilized in various industries. Its applications range from paints, coatings, and adhesives to paper, plastics, rubber, and textiles. Additionally, it’s used in printing inks, ceramics, flooring, roofing materials, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, water purification, food coloring, and the automotive industry.
Global reserves of rutile, a high-grade ore for titanium dioxide, are depleting. As a result, the production of synthetic rutile has gained attention as a vital raw material for manufacturing titanium dioxide pigments and metallic titanium. There are several methods for synthesizing synthetic rutile, most of which involve acid leaching. These processes are among the most advanced technologies globally, characterized by their complexity.
Mahan Sanat Company has successfully developed a proprietary method, after years of research, to utilize aluminate deposits containing just 1% titanium to produce titanium dioxide with a purity exceeding 98%. Notably, Iran’s plaster iron ore, which contains similar titanium levels, is typically unsuitable for the steel industry due to its slow melting properties. The technology Mahan Sanat has developed is considered one of the most advanced in the world, a capability previously only held by Canada. This method is economically efficient as it allows for the direct use of low-purity raw materials. For the first time in Iran, this innovative process has enabled the production of titanium dioxide with a final purity of 99%, a milestone not previously achieved domestically or through conventional means.
