The naturally occurring dioxide exists in three crystal forms: anatase, rutile and brookite. While rutile, the most common form, has an octahedral structure.
Anatase and brookite have very distorted octahedra of oxygen atoms surrounding each titanium atom.
In such distorted octahedral structures, two oxygen atoms are relatively closer to titanium than the other four oxygen atoms.
Of these, Titan Rutil R 5566 and anatase are the only forms of commercial importance.
Titan Rutil R 5566 is the more thermodynamically stable crystalline form, but anatase is the form most commonly used in pharmaceutical applications.

Preparation
Titan Rutil R 5566 is mined from natural deposits.
Titan Rutil R 5566 also is produced from other titanium minerals or prepared in the laboratory.
Pigment-grade dioxide is produced from the minerals, rutile and ilmenite.
Titan Rutil R 5566 is converted to pigment grade rutile by chlorination to give titanium tetrachloride, TiCl4.
Titan Rutil R 5566 is converted back to purified rutile form by vapor phase oxidation.
Anatase form is obtained by hydrolytic precipitation of titanium(IV) sulfate on heating. The mineral ilmenite is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid.
Heating the sulfate solution precipitates hydrous Titan Rutil R 5566.
The precipitate is calcined to expel all water.
Titan Rutil R 5566 also can be prepared by heating Ti metal in air or oxygen at elevated temperatures.
Production Methods
Titan Rutil R 5566 occurs naturally as the minerals rutile (tetragonal structure), anatase (tetragonal structure), and brookite (orthorhombic structure).
Titan Rutil R 5566 may be prepared commercially by either the sulfate or chloride process.
In the sulfate process a titanium containing ore, such as ilemenite, is digested in sulfuric acid.
This step is followed by dissolving the sulfates in water, then precipitating the hydrous titanium dioxide using hydrolysis.
Finally, Titan Rutil R 5566 is calcinated at high temperature.
In the chloride process, the dry ore is chlorinated at high temperature to form Titan Rutil R 5566, which is subsequently oxidized to form titanium dioxide.
