Where is 95% Titanium
The majorityof the naturally mined rutile today comes from Australian beaches, where it appears as common black sand.
The main economic reserves of rutile are found in South Africa, India, SriLanka, Austrialia and Sierra Leone.
The world reserves of ilmenite and rutile total about 80 years of current ilmenite and rutile production.
Today, while ilmenite provides 90% of the total world titanium mineral supply, it is almost totally used to upgrade the titanium content to synthetic rutile, and titanium slag. Together, the synthetic and natural rutile are the principal raw material of titanium production.
However, ofall of the mined and synthetic titanium minerals, only about 5% is used to make titanium metal. The other 95% is used to manufacture pure titaniumdioxide, TiO2.
Titanium dioxide, TiO2 is a pigment that imparts whiteness, brightness and opacity to pains, paper and ink, plastics and even food products and cosmetics.
We are just in valuable 5% line. And with 30 years experiences on this aspect. So, don’t hesitate to contact me at titaniumalloy@bjmkgs.com to know more information about titanium materals
