Pigments

Pigments are colored, this substance have vary there are organic and inorganic substances. Organic and inorganic insoluble substances used widely in surface coatings, but they are also employed in the ink, plastic, rubber, ceramic, paper, and linoleum industries to impart color.

A large number of pigments are dyes are consumed because different products require a particular choice of material to give maximum coverage, economy, opacity, color, durability, and desired refluctance. White lead, zinc oxide. and lithophone were once the principle of white pigments, colored pigments consisted of prusian blue, lead chromates, various iron oxides, and a few lake colors. Today titanium oxide in many varieties is almost the only white pigment used. Lead pigments, formely of major important, are now prohibited by law for many uses.

The kind example of many colored pigments are as follows:

White hiding pigments:
  • Titanium dioxide
  • Zinc oxide
  • Lithophone
  • Zinc Sulfide
  • Antimony oxide
Black pigments:
  • Carbon Black
  • Lampblack
  • Graphite
  • Iron black
Blue pigments:
  • Ultramarine
  • Copper phthalocyanine
  • Iron blue
Red pigments:
  • Red lead
  • Iron oxide
  • Cadmium reds
  • Toners and lakes
Metalics pigments:
  • Aluminum
  • Zinc dust
  • Bronze powder
Yellow pigments:
  • Litharge
  • Ocher
  • Lead or zinc chromate
  • Hanza Yellows
  • Ferrite Yellows
  • Cadmium Lithophone
Orange pigmets:
  • Basic lead chromate
  • Cadmium orange
  • Molybdenum orange
Green pigments:
  • Chromium oxide
  • Chrome green
  • Hydrated chromium oxide
  • Phthalocyanine green
  • Permansa greens (Phthalocyanine blue plus zinc chromate)
Brown pigments:
  • Burnt sienna
  • Burnt umber
  • Vandyke brown
Metal protective pigments:
  • Red lead
  • Blue lead
  • Zinc, basic lead and barium potasium chromate

Removing Iron Rust Using Electrochemical Process

One way to remove iron rust is by electrochemical process. The iron or metal that will be rusted is given a negative charge and the other electrode means that it is positively charged, so the rust will be released from the metal because negative ions will come out of the metal and go to the positive electrode. If the process is continued, the iron may become shiny, not because it is coated in therapy because the surface is partly faded. This is because the iron functions as a negative electrode, where the ions on the surface of the iron will decay and dissolve into the chemical solution. To give an idea of this process, see the following video:

Viscose Fiber Production Process

Viscose fiber is a base material for textile industry. The first production of this kind product is in Indian than spread over the Europe and United States also in South Asia Country like in Indonesia. Viscose fiber is produced to anticipate the shortage of natural yarn for raw material to produce yarn in textile industries, beside synthetic yarn as replace natural cotton to produce fabric. This one is a simple drawing of viscose fiber production process . Viscose fiber is used to substitute the using of cotton as raw material for textile industry. Beside of cotton availability will not enough to supply market demand in the future, also cotton just available on harvesting season. If people just depend on cotton to produce textile then people will shortage of raw material to produce textile. Using viscose fiber to fulfill of textile industry will not any shortage raw material, beside the price is lower than cotton, viscose fiber also have better quality compare with synthetic fiber fo

Sodium Sulfite and Sodium Hydrosulfite

Sodium Sulfite Sodium sulfite is a compound that is very easily oxidized. For this reason, it is employed in many cases where a gentle reducing agent is desired, e.g. to bleach wool and silk, as an antichlor after the bleaching of yarns, textile and paper, as a preservative for foodstuffs, and to prevent raw sugar solution from colouring upon evaporation. It is very widely used in the preparation of photographic developer to prevent from oxidation from hydroquinone and other agents. It has a small application in the field of medicine as an antiseptic and as an antizymotic for internal use. About 60% of the total merchant market is in the paper Industries. While merchant capacity is about 145,000 t/year, the paper mills have twice capacity to captive use. The demand for boiler feed water treatment is about 15%. It is use to remove oxygen from water and thus help to prevent corrosion and scale formation. These were four major production in 1891, one of which provided 50% percent of the
