Introduction
Titanium, a versatile metal renowned for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to corrosion, is increasingly sought after in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and biomedical. The primary mineral sources for titanium production are ilmenite and rutile, with ilmenite being the more abundant feedstock. Though, the direct utilization of ilmenite is frequently enough limited due to its lower titanium content and the presence of impurities. Upgrading ilmenite into more refined titanium slag represents a crucial step in maximizing extraction efficiency and improving the quality of titanium products. This article examines the methodologies involved in ilmenite upgrading through both physical and chemical processes, highlighting the significance of slagging techniques in enhancing titanium feedstocks and their resulting applications in various sectors.
