The invention provides a preparation method and application of high-
dispersity food-grade
titanium dioxide, and relates to the technical field of food additives. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing a
titanium dioxide crude product with concentrated
sulfuric acid and deionized water, carrying out acid
pickling, stirring for 20-40 minutes, adding deionized water, carrying out
water washing, and carrying out filter pressing until filtrate is neutral, so as to obtain a
filter cake; s2, filtering the
filter cake through a
sieve shaker, sanding, adding deionized water to dilute and wash until the
conductivity of the
slurry is stabilized below 400 [mu] S / cm, and grading to obtain
slurry containing fine particles; s3, carrying out filter pressing on the
slurry containing the fine particles, adding deionized water into an obtained
filter cake, re-dispersing, and then carrying out
spray drying and crushing to obtain food-grade
titanium dioxide; the food-grade
titanium dioxide obtained by the preparation method provided by the invention has excellent
dispersity and long-term suspension stability, extremely high whiteness and extremely low color cast, the content of harmful
heavy metals is reduced to an extremely low level, the particle size is controlled to be 0.3 mu m or below through fine
processing steps of sanding, diluting and grading, the pore structure is larger than 50 nm, and the food-grade
titanium dioxide has relatively good compactness and is suitable for industrial production. The agglomeration phenomenon is effectively reduced, and the method can be widely applied to food.
