About Ilmenite & Titanium. Ilmenite is a common accessory mineral in igneous rocks, sediments, and sedimentary rocks in many parts of the world. It is an oxide mineral of iron and titanium, also known as titanium magnetite, and its composition is FeTiO3. Ilmenite is a heavy (specific gravity 4.7), moderately hard (Mohs hardness 5.6 to 6), opaque black mineral with a submetallic luster.
Mining. Although mineral sand deposits were noticed back in 1870, sands were first mined in Australia in the 1930s at Byron Bay on the north coast of New South Wales. Mining of ilmenite began in the mid-1950s near Bunbury in southwest Western Australia. ... In the Becher process, ilmenite concentrate containing 55%-65% TiO 2 (the rest is mainly ...
