Rutile is the ore of what metal?

Rutile is the ore of titanium. It is a mineral that primarily consists of titanium dioxide and is a major source of titanium metal.


What is the name of a metal that can be ectracted from an ore?

Iron is metal that can be extracted from ore there is also titanium aluminum copper and others


How are these metals made or extracted Monel titanium Beryllium Stainless steel Flexon and aluminum?

Monel is an alloy of nickel and copper, typically made by melting and mixing the two metals. Titanium is extracted from its ore through a process called Kroll process, involving reduction of titanium tetrachloride with magnesium. Beryllium is extracted from beryl ore through various chemical methods. Stainless steel is made by melting iron ore with nickel, chromium, and other metals. Flexon is a type of titanium-based alloy, and aluminum is extracted from bauxite ore through electrolysis.


What metal is used to extract titanium from its ore?

The straight simple answer is sodium metal and also magnesium. Titanium ore is usually reacted with chlorine to produce TiCl4 often known as "tickle four". This is very volatile which makes it easy to purify by distillation. The purified tickle four is now reacted with sodium metal to produce sodium chloride and titanium sponge. TiCl4 + 4Na ------> 4NaCl + Ti However, other reactive metals are often used such as magnesium which in many ways is far easier to handle than sodium.


What types of ore that contains iron?

An ore is a rock that contains minerals that are useful. For an ore to be considered an ore reserve, it must be economically viable (the value of the extracted mineral must exceed the cost of extraction and processing) and must be technically and legally possible to extract.

How is titanium extracted and flow diagrams?

Titanium is primarily extracted from its ores, primarily rutile (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeTiO3), through the Kroll process. This involves converting the ore into titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) using chlorine and carbon at high temperatures, followed by reduction with magnesium to produce titanium metal. Flow diagrams typically illustrate stages such as ore crushing, separation, chlorination, and reduction, highlighting the transformation of raw materials into titanium. These diagrams visually represent the sequential processes and material flow from raw ore to finished titanium products.
