Bismuth vanadate is often combined with organic pigments to achieve the full range of colours from yellow through to red. In general, the redder the colour target, the higher the organic pigment loading required and this can give rise to the problems cited above. Bismuth vanadate itself is weatherfa

✦ Synopsis
Dimona -precipitated silica from porcellanite
Dimona Silica Industries Ltd (DSI) recently completed the construction of facilities at Dimona in the Negev Desert for mining and processing porcellanite to make 40,000 tonnes/y of precipitated silica. There are substantial deposits of porcellanite, containing 40-45% of amorphous silica, in this region. As well as having abundant raw materials, sufficient to support operations at current levels for more than 200 years, DSI also has access to relatively low energy costs thanks to the proximity of a 115 MWh power station.
DSI sells its precipitated silica under the Dimosil brandname, mainly to tyre manufacturers. During 2007, the company plans to launch its range of highly dispersible (HD) silicas. The company also supplies precipitated calcium carbonate for applications in paper, paint, rubber and plastics.
