Is titanium oxide basic or acidic?

Titanium occurs mainly in the form of rutile which is white when pure and is the preferred ore for most refinery operations of titanium metal. The mineral ilmenite (left), is a black, basic oxide. Today large producers have balanced its production between the use of sulfate and chloride processes.

Is titanium oxide and titanium dioxide the same?

Titanium dioxide is a titanium oxide with the formula TiO2. A naturally occurring oxide sourced from ilmenite, rutile and anatase, it has a wide range of applications. It has a role as a food colouring. Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(IV) oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium.
