AMIS0454 Ti 37.14% Fe 37.14% Ilmenite South Africa
Origin of Material: The raw material for AMIS0454 is ilmenite from the Tronox Namakwa Sands Mine, situated at Brand-se-Baai, 385 km north of Cape Town in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa. The ore is mined and processed at primary concentration plants to produce a mineral concentrate. It undergoes further processing at the secondary concentration plant to yield a magnetic and non-magnetic stream. These concentrates are then put through a Mineral Separation Plant where the minerals in the streams are separated to produce zircon, rutile and ilmenite.
Mineral and Chemical Composition: Ilmenite is the titanium-iron oxide mineral with the idealized formula FeTiO3. Ilmenite is mined primarily for the production of titanium dioxide.
