ilmenite specification
Ilmenite is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks although it very rarely forms a
major component of a rock. If that happens (in iron- and titanium-rich magmatic
cumulates) then ilmenite is usually mined for its titanium content. Titanium
extracted from ilm. in the form of titanium dioxide is used as a white pigment
in paints and sunscreens among other things. Millions of tonnes of ilmenite are
mined every year, but the majority of ilmenite comes from sand, not from the
hard rocks.
