Heavy Mineral Sands ZrSiO₄ · TiO₂
The dense mineral fraction separated from placer sands, chiefly zircon, rutile, ilmenite and kyanite. Each is a distinct product: zircon for opacity and refractoriness, rutile and ilmenite for titanium and welding-flux chemistry, kyanite for high-alumina strength.
- Application
- Foundry and refractory facings, titanium-dioxide feed, welding-electrode coatings, technical ceramics.
- Conditions
- Zircon, rutile, ilmenite and kyanite fractions; sand or milled, to grade.
- Industries
- Refractory & CeramicWeldingSteel
