Ti

1. Titanium ore:
Titanium-bearing ores in nature are primarily composed of titanium as their chemical element. The most industrially valuable minerals are ilmenite and rutile. Ilmenite is FeTiO₃ and often occurs alongside magnetite; rutile is TiO₂ and has a higher purity. The ores often contain associated elements such as iron, vanadium, zirconium, rare earth elements, and scandium. It is the initial raw material for the titanium industry, and through mining and beneficiation processes, it provides the foundation for the subsequent production of titanium dioxide and metallic titanium.

2. Titanium concentrate:
Titanium ore is a product obtained after enrichment through processes such as crushing, gravity separation, magnetic separation, electrostatic separation, and flotation. Depending on the raw ore, it is mainly divided into ilmenite concentrate and rutile concentrate. Ilmenite concentrate is the main raw material for producing titanium dioxide (sulfuric acid process or chloride process); high-grade natural rutile concentrate (TiO₂ >90%) or synthetic rutile is a high-quality raw material for the chloride process titanium dioxide and sponge titanium production, with extremely strict requirements on impurity content.
