Scientific use of the titanium dioxide

In May 2012, British scientists have proposed a bold idea, they think it is through the stratosphere, enough titanium dioxide to reflect sunlight, so as to achieve the aim of to cool the earth, and to do so effectively offset of adverse as a result of global warming and climate factors.

Due to the direct titanium dioxide can effectively reflect sunlight, and its nature is stable, with good covering ability, if sprayed in the stratosphere can play a role for a long time. British scientists, can use high altitude balloon to the chemicals into the stratosphere, then release, once titanium dioxide evenly distributed in the earth's stratosphere, can effectively reflect sunlight and thus to cool the earth.

British consultancy Davidson, President of science and technology, chemical engineers Peter Davidson is the head of the project, he said, only need to the earth's stratosphere carrying 3 million tons of titanium dioxide, can form a layer in earth's stratosphere layer thickness to 1 mm, but it can play a role of huge twice - enough to offset the current content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere caused by the greenhouse effect.
