ILMENITE AND RUTILE I ndia is endowed with large resources of heavy minerals which occur mainly along coastal stretches of the country and also in inland placers. Heavy mineral sands comprise a group of seven minerals, viz, ilmenite, leucoxene (brown ilmenite), rutile, zircon, sillimanite, garnet and monazite. Ilmenite (FeO.TiO 2) and rutile (TiO 2

The typical mineral composition is: ilmenite 80%, zircon 10%, leucoxene 5%, rutile 1%, monazite 0.5%, others 3.5%. Rutile (TiO2) is a red to black, naturally occurring titanium dioxide with a theoretical TiO2 content of 100%, but impurities such as Fe2O3 and Cr2O2 reduce this to 93–95%. Ilmenite (FeTiO3) is black and opaque when fresh, but ...

UMCC is the largest miner of ilmenite and the only miner of rutile and zircon in Europe. Ukraine also has significant logistical advantages – delivery to European consumers in as little as days, compared to up to 30 days from Asia, Australia, Africa or North America. UMCC's estimated global market shares for 2020 are i lmenite 2.3%; …

a floating separator. The heavy mineral concentrate is then road-hauled to a plant (RBIT), some 7 km inland, for separation of the heavy minerals into ilmenite, rutile and zircon fractions. The ilmenite is smelted and transformed to titanium slag, with pig-iron recovered as an important by-product. The slag is then milled and then
