1. Introduction Titanium is widely used as titanium dioxide (TiO 2) for production of white pigment[1].Ilmenite (FeTiO 3, 52.6% TiO 2 and 47.4% FeO) is the most common source of titanium dioxide[2]. The term Ilmenite, as used in the titanium industry, commonly covers the entire range from unweathered Ilmenite with TiO 2 contents below 50% to altered Ilmenite containing more than 60% TiO …
Technical Report Fang, Zhigang Zak. The objective of this project was to demonstrate the potential of a new process technology to reduce the energy consumption and CO {sub 2} emission from the production of titanium dioxide (TiO {sub 2}) pigment. TiO {sub 2} is one of the most commonly used minerals in the chemical manufacturing industry.

1. Introduction. Ilmenite (FeTiO 3) is one of the titanium mineral resources ranking second after rutile (TiO 2) in titanium industries [1] [2] [3] .Today, the high-grade sources of titanium minerals such as rutile are diminishing; hence, for the low-grade ores like ilmenite an attempt is made to convert ilmenite …

Ilmenite smelting is a carbothermic process to upgrade the mineral ilmenite, yielding TiO2-rich slag (which is mainly used as a feed stock for TiO 2 pigment production) as primary pr oduct and pig iron as a by-product. This smelting process …
Comminution, an energy-intensive process, usually begins with blasting of rock in the mining operation followed by crushing in large, heavy machines, often used in stages and in combination with screens to minimize production of particles too fine for subsequent treatment (Sidebar 3-3). Grinding is usually done in tumbling mills, wet or dry ...
The mineral sands industry is booming right now. The rebound in the titanium feedstock market since late 2020 has continued and with the closure of Rio Tinto's (ASX:RIO) Richards Bay mine in South Africa and the impending suspension of Iluka's (ASX:ILU) Sierra Rutile mine in November (pending any potential return to profitability) the supply side is looking tight.
Data Mining is an iterative process where the mining process can be refined, and new data can be integrated to get more efficient results. Data Mining meets the requirement of effective, scalable and flexible data analysis. It can be considered as a natural evaluation of information technology.

Sand ilmenite containing anywhere between 45% and 55% wt. TiO 2 is also common feedstock for the production of TiO 2 pigment by the Sulfate process. When its TiO 2 grade exceeds 58% wt., sand ilmenite can be converted to synthetic rutile via the Becher and the Benelite processes.
and mining concessions held by Kenmare ILMENITE AND RUTILE Ilmenite and rutile are the principal feedstocks used to produce TiO 2 pigment, which accounts for ~90% of global feedstock consumption. TiO …

The lifecycle of a gold mine. People in hard hats working underground is what often comes to mind when thinking about how gold is mined. Yet mining the ore is just one stage in a long and complex gold mining process. Long before any gold can be extracted, significant exploration and development needs to take place, both to determine, as accurately as possible, the size of the deposit as well ...
The mineralization consists of ilmenite and hemo-ilmenite associated with magnetite, which is sometimes titanium-bearing, spinel (hercynite), and, locally, apatite, rutile, iron and copper sulphides and silicates. Major mineral resources of ilmenite …
