Summary:Water integration method is widely used in water minimization. Water minimization has great benefits to environmental and industrial sustainability. Both freshwater consumption and wastewater discharge can be minimized by practicing water system integration. Sulfate process (SP) is an important and mature method to produce titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment. A large amount of water is consumed and a large quantity of effluent is discharged, which may cause water resource waste and serious environmental pollution. The paper presents Mathematical Optimization Method for water minimization of a titanium pigment plant event in China. The result of this study shows that mathematical optimization method has been effectively applied for the titanium pigment plant, and the freshwater consumption is reduced by 45.97 %.
