1. Introduction. Synthetic Rutile (SR) is an upgraded ilmenite product that has TiO 2 content between 88 and 96%. Ilmenite can be upgraded into SR via two methods: (i) ilmenite (iron oxide) reduction and separation by acid leaching and (ii) ilmenite reduction and aeration (Grey and Reid, 1973, Duong et al., 2020, Xiang et al., 2020).The SR …
In Western Australia, mineral sands production is largely made up of titanium minerals such as ilmenite, leucoxene, synthetic rutile and zircon. Most of these minerals are used to produce titanium dioxide pigments, which are used in paints, papers and plastics.
November 1, 2006 OKLAHOMA CITY - Tronox Incorporated announced that the Tiwest synthetic rutile plant in Chandala, Western Australia, restarted production, and its daily production has returned to pre-shutdown levels.
The company started production with a modest capacity of 10000 TPA of Synthetic Rutile and 12500 TPA of Ferric Chloride. Subsequent through innovations and debottle-necking, the company enhanced its production capacity of synthetic rutile to 50,000 TPA, ferric chloride to 30,000 TPA, ferrous chloride to 82,500 TPA and cemox to …

Western Australia, Australia Client Tiwest Joint Venture Timeframe 1996 - 1997 Commodity Mineral Sands Upgrading, debottlenecking and expansion of the Synthetic Rutile Plant and the North Mine for the Tiwest Joint Venture.
Products: Mineral Sands Mineral sands are within a class of ore deposits that contain heavy minerals such as ilmenite, zircon, leucoxene, and rutile. The most important, naturally occurring minerals that are mined to produce titanium dioxide (TiO 2) feedstock are ilmenite, leucoxene and rutile.
Three primary products of the mineral sands industry are called 'heavy sands' due to their specific gravity: Rutile = 4.2, typical titanium content ~60%, Ilmenite = 4.5-5.0, typical titanium content ~30% Zircon = 4.6-4.7, zirconium silicate Another important product is synthetic rutile, which is essentially an 'upgraded' ilmenite after thermal …
The synthetic rutile fabricated through the selective chlorination of FeO may have large benefits in terms of the reaction efficiency because its porosity is higher than that of natural...
Ilmenite is upgraded to synthetic rutile (>90% TiO 2) by removing contained iron at plants located at Capel, Geraldton and Muchea, all in Western Australia. The technology used is called the Becher process …
A range of alumino silicate minerals show industrial potential, as does activated carbon, iron oxide and gypsum, by-products of the synthetic rutile process. Tiwest is a good example of a company maximising revenue from the accessory minerals as well as from by-products of the synthetic rutile process. Contributor (s): P Grigg, D von Horn
Ilmenite (TiO 2 > 52%) can be upgraded to synthetic rutile (TiO 2 > 88%) using a reduction and leaching process. Australian ilmenites (FeTiO 3) contain variable amounts of titanium dioxide, iron oxide and other impurities.Ilmenites from different deposits can have different physical and chemical properties that affect ilmenite reduction and the …
