Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Titanium dioxide manufacturing workers produce titanium dioxide (TiO₂), used as white pigments, in plastics, paints, and more, through chemical processes.
Description
Titanium dioxide manufacturing workers mainly produce titanium dioxide powder using the sulfate or chloride process. They dissolve raw mineral ores with acid or chlorine, followed by precipitation, filtration, washing, drying and calcination, and carry out processes such as pulverization and classification. They appropriately control process parameters (temperature, pH, concentration) and perform quality inspections on particle size, color tone, purity, etc., to meet product specifications. They thoroughly conduct regular equipment inspections and maintenance, as well as safety and environmental management, to ensure stable production and workplace safety.
Future Outlook
TiO₂ is a major material in the white pigment market for paints and plastics, with high demand for production technologies that comply with environmental regulations. Demand for engineers involved in advancing manufacturing processes and developing cost-reduction technologies is expected to remain stable going forward.
