Ethyl Lactate. Ethyl Lactate is an environmentally benign solvent. Lactate esters have found industrial applications in specialty coatings, inks, cleaners and standard cleaning products. The solvent market is estimated at between 3.5 to 4.5 million tonnes per year, at prices ranging from US$ 2.00 to US$ 3.75 per kilo.io-solvents are progressively replacing petrochemical solvents and ethyl lactate serves as a biodegradable and non-toxic solvent which is sought after especially in the field of microelectronics and complies with the quality demands of the semiconductor industry.
Titanium is very expensive because it is awkward to extract from its ores-for example, from rutile, TiO2. You can't use carbon reduction Titanium can't be extracted by reducing the ore using carbon as a cheap reducing agent.t has a relatively low density (about 60% that of iron). It is also the tenth most commonly occurri â¦ ng element in the Earth's crust. That all means that titanium should be a really important metal for all sorts of engineering applications. In fact, it is very expensive and only used for rather specialised purposes.
Titanium is used to make hip replacements. Titanium is a light metal but very strong, e.g. it is as strong as steel but 45% lighter. For these properties it is used to make lightweight alloys for aircraft, bikes and laptop computers.The compound Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) absorbs UV light and is used in sunscreen.itanium is resistant to corrosion by sea water and therefore is used on parts of ships. The non-reactive properties of titanium make it ideal for use in the body as hip replacements and pacemakers, which won't be attacked by body fluids.
