AMIS0601 TiO2 55.77% Ilmenite Mineral Sands South Africa
Origin of Material
The raw material was provided by Tronox KZN Sands situated at Empangeni in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Ilmenite is a naturally occurring mineral comprised primarily of titanium iron oxide, as well as other elements such as magnesium and manganese. It is highly magnetic and can be isolated from other minerals by magnetic separators and other metallurgical separation processes. The TiO2 content of ilmenite ranges between 45-65 percent.
Approximate Mineral and Chemical Composition
Mineral sands are within a class of ore deposits that contain heavy minerals such as ilmenite, zircon, leucoxene, and rutile. The most important, naturally occurring minerals that are mined to produce titanium dioxide.
