ilmenite

Ilmenite was identified in samples returned from the Apollo 17 site.

The raw material used in the process is ilmenite.

High concentrations of ilmenite were found at the Aristarchus site, scientists said.

The common problems with this material are the presence of ilmenite and chloride compounds.

It is a member of the ilmenite group.

Ilmenite is weakly magnetic, with a weak response to a hand magnet.

Protests over the mining of ilmenite on the West Coast.

This reacts to remove the iron oxide group in the ilmenite.

The most common method for the production of titanium dioxide utilizes ilmenite.

Europe's largest ilmenite (titanium) deposits are near the southwest coast.

The example shown in the image at right is typical of leucoxene-rimmed ilmenite.

Oxides, such as magnetite or ilmenite, are also common.

Raw ilmenite is refined by decreasing the iron content.

At higher temperatures it has been demonstrated there is a complete solid solution between ilmenite and hematite.

The world's two largest open cast ilmenite mines are:

The reserves of rutile and ilmenite rank highly in China.

Some of the ilmenite is then processed into synthetic rutile.

Typical is the conversion starting from the ore ilmenite:

The company planned to start mining in early 2007; the initial rate of ilmenite production was expected to be 700,000 t/yr.

Ilmenite is a common accessory mineral found in metamorphic and igneous rocks.

Most ilmenite is mined for titanium dioxide production.

The ship sank quickly, probably due to her cargo of 8,350 tons of ilmenite ore.

It's also the world's largest opencast ilmenite mine.

Some of them have high abundances of a ferro-titanic oxide called ilmenite.

The unusual blue coloration of the quartz is thought to be due to ilmenite inclusions.
