Titanium: From Ore Extraction and Processing to Its
The most crucial titanium minerals are anatase, rutile (both TiO 2), and ilmenite (FeTiO 3), which contains up to 53% TiO 2. Primary deposits occur in Australia, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, India, and Norway. The most useful mineral for the extraction of titanium is rutile. Although it is rarer than ilmenite, its TiO 2 content is higher.
