A Standard Ilmenite product with composition that compares favourably with other similar high iron(II) oxide ('FeO') ilmenite products:\no typical titanium dioxide ('TiO2') content of 46% and FeO content >38% that is readily soluble in low strength sulphuric acid at high process efficiency\no low levels of key impurity chromium(III) oxide ('Cr2O3') at 0.06% and Vanadium(V) oxide V2O5 at 0.35%\no radioactive elements below detection limits\n \n2. A Premium Ilmenite product that has all the attributes of the Standard Ilmenite Product plus favourable low alkali (magnesium oxide ('MgO') and calcium oxide ('CaO')) content that ensures suitability for chloride slag production. Typical key composition shown below:\n \n\n\n\n\nTiO2\n\n\n46.5%\n\n\n\n\nFeO\n\n\n39.2%\n\n\n\n\nSiO2\n\n\n0.71%\n\n\n\n\nCaO\n\n\n0.15%\n\n\n\n\nMgO\n\n\n0.78%\n\n\n\n\nU\n\n\n<10ppm\n\n\n\n\nTh\n\n\n<10ppm\n\n\n\n\n \n· Run-of-Mine (ROM), Heavy Mineral Concentrates (HMC), Standard Ilmenite and Premium Ilmenite samples an...
