Titanium is not found in nature. Extracting the metal is a chemical process, not a separation. Titanium ore such as rutile is crushed and heated with chlorine and coke (carbon).

TiO2 + 2Cl2 + 2C = TiCl4 + 2CO

The TiCl4 is then reduced by either sodium or magnesium

TiCl4 + 4Na = Ti + 4NaCl

Remember the numbers after the element symbols must be subscripts.

The process is difficult and dangerous and needs a lot of special conditions.
