Introduction and Market Study :This study aims to develop a process for the production of titanium dioxide for paint pigments from rutile sands. From this developed process, a titanium dioxide plant will designed. This study also aims to determine if a titanium dioxide manufacturing plant is a profitable investment in the Philippines by evaluating the plants projected cash flows, internal rate of return, and payback period over a 20-year plant life. The GDP, population, construction and coating demand are continuously rising, These are positive factors for the company since these are main driving force for the need for more production of TiO2. Our target market is the coating industry which imports TiO2 from foreign producers since there is not a single TiO2 manufacturers but we are determined to emerge by attracting the target market with lower prices of product and also distribution since we are located within the Philippines.Process Selection and Synthesis:Reaction Path Selection :There are two known methods of titanium dioxide production: the chloride process and the sulphate process. Parameters such as the hazards of chemical usage, atom economy, and raw material purity and compared for both processes. From Table A1, it is preferred to use the chlorine process because of its high atom economy, high raw material purity, and fewer main reaction schemes. Separation Pathway Selection :The main separations steps in the chlorine process involve using the boiling point difference to separate the titanium tetrachloride from the other impurities. One notable impurity is the vanadium oxychloride, VOC13 which has a boiling point of 127 celsius. The boiling point of titanium tetrachloride is 136 celsius, so separation by direct distillation is not possible.Process :Among the two process, the chloride process is chosen for this study. The chloride process converts 95 percent TiO2rutile sand into pigment-grade TiO2by the reactions:TiO2 + C12 + C -> TiC14 + CO2 Titanium dioxide. Chemical plants Design and construction.
