The deagglomeration of titanium-dioxide powder in water suspension performed in a stirring tank was investigated. Owing to the widespread applications of the deagglomeration process and titanium dioxide powder, new, more efficient devices and methods of predicting the process result are highly needed. A brief literature review of the application process, the device used, and process mechanism is presented herein. In the experiments, deagglomeration of the titanium dioxide suspension was performed. The change in particle size distribution in time was investigated for different impeller geometries and rotational speeds. The modification of impeller geometry allowed the improvement of the process of solid particle breakage. In the modelling part, numerical simulations of the chosen impeller geometries were performed using computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) methods whereby the flow field, hydrodynamic stresses, and other useful parameters were calculated. Finally, based on the simulation results, the population-balance with a mechanistic model of suspension flow was developed. Model predictions of the change in particle size showed good agreement with the experimental data. Using the presented method in the process design allowed the prediction of the product size and the comparison of the efficiency of different impeller geometries.

As anionic surfactant, a commercial salt of lauryl sodium sulfate was used. The effects of different amounts of dispersant on the measurement of particle size distribution between two titanium dioxide powders (anatase and rutile) in aqueous media were discussed. Diluted aqueous suspensions were characterized in terms of particle size distribution and zeta potential. The results demonstrate that the measurement of particle size distribution strongly depends on the amounts of dispersant. The amounts of dispersant have a significant effect on the behavior of the rutile-TiO2 particles. The particle size first decreases significantly with an increase in the amounts of dispersant and then lesser increases with a further increase in the amounts of dispersant. The tendency show significant differences between two particles.

Nano titanium dioxide (TiO2) with photocatalytic activity was firstly modified by diethanolamine, and it was then doped with broad spectrum antibacterial silver (Ag) by in situ method. Further, both Ag doped TiO2-chitosan (STC) and TiO2-chitosan (TC) composites were prepared by the inverse emulsion cross-linking reaction. The antibacterial activities of STC composites were studied and their antibacterial mechanisms under visible light were investigated. The results show that in situ doping and inverse emulsion method led to good dispersion of Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles on the cross-linked chitosan microsphere. The STC with regular particle size of 1–10 μm exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus under visible light. It is believed that STC with particle size of 1–10 μm has large specific surface area to contact with bacterial cell wall. The increased antibacterial activity was attributed to the enhancement of both electron-hole separations at the surface of nano-TiO2 by the silver ions under the visible light, and the synergetic and sustained release of strong oxidizing hydroxyl radicals of nano-TiO2, together with silver ions against bacteria. Thus, STC composites have great potential applications as antibacterial agents in the water treatment field.
