2. Titania mainly presents in four polymorphs as rutile, anatase, brookite and TiO 2–B …

Naturally available ilmenite mineral is being used as a starting material to produce titanium
based products that have wide applications. Transformation of ilmenite to different titanium …

The continuous discharge of organic dyes into the aquatic environment represents a main
reason for water contamination. Removal of dye molecules via adsorption is suggested to be …

In this study, a facile method was developed to synthesize a new composite via the
impregnation of rutile (TiO 2) nanoparticles (Rt) into H 2 O 2–modified anthracite (MAn). This …

Sri Lanka is a major global producer of raw material-heavy minerals from beach placer
deposits. This study focusses on upgrading Sri Lankan ilmenite sands to synthetic rutile via …

The supply of the strategic metal titanium is of great significance in ensuring the sustainable
development of the national economy and national defense. As an irreplaceable raw …

Mineral resources in Egypt are diverse. This chapter deals with the metallic ores. The
chapter starts with the iron ores in Egypt and special emphasis is given to the origin of …

Carbothermic reduction reduces ilmenite into TiO 2 or acid-soluble intermediates. This
method gained more attention due to several industrial applications of TiO 2 and metal Ti …

Background Ilmenite and rutile are naturally occurring titanium-bearing heavy minerals. Sri
Lanka consists of ilmenite and rutile in placer deposits mainly along the northeast coast. The …

The high content of iron in ilmenite ore poses a great challenge, particularly in the synthesis
of titanium-containing products due to high susceptibility of iron (Fe) to corrosion. Direct …
