yes......however there are better examples of iron ores but ilmenite and rutile ARE iron ores.
Yes, ilmenite and rutile are sources of titanium, not iron. They are titanium-bearing minerals commonly found in beach sands.
True
1.Titanium 2.ilmenite 3.Rutile.
Both contain the useful metal titanium. Titanium can be refined from them profitably.
The most common titanium ores are rutile and ilmenite. Though there are many more.
Because with rutile they have to deal with much lower quantities of iron byproduct/waste.
why are manufacturers more likly to obtain titanium from rutile then from ilmenite
Titanium
G. W Elger has written: 'Producing synthetic rutile from ilmenite by pyrometallurgy' -- subject(s): Rutile, Ilmenite
Titanium is obtained from ilmenite or rutile through a process known as the Kroll process. These minerals are primarily used as feedstock for producing titanium dioxide, which is commonly used in pigments, coatings, and various industrial applications.
Rutile (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeTiO3).
(Fe,Mg,Mn,Ti)O3, Ilmenite {mostly FeTiO3} and Titanium Dioxide, TiO2, Rutile. By the formulas, Ilmenite includes Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Titanium and Oxygen. Rutile is simpler and composed of Titanium and Oxygen (Oxidized Titanium, Titanium rust!)
