Rutile Production Costs - Q4 2022
Rutile Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Rutile is a natural form of Titanium Dioxide. It is a common mineral found in high-temperature and high-pressure rocks. Since only a small number of rutile deposits can be mined economically many different processes have been developed to purify ilmenite (a mineral that contains titanium dioxide and greater amounts of iron impurities) through the reduction of Fe3+ with carbon or hydrogen. The resulting material is called synthetic rutile and contains 90-96 wt% Titanium Dioxide - much more than the 44-65 wt% Titanium Dioxide found in ilmenite.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Rutile production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q4 2022).
Synthetic Rutile Production from Ilmenite (Benelite Process)
This study comprises a techno-economic analysis of an industrial process for Synthetic Rutile production from ilmenite in a United States-based facility. In this process, ilmenite is reduced to transform trivalent iron into the divalent form, then the reduced iron is leached with acid, producing Synthetic Rutile.
Details: 200 kta United States-based plant | Q4 2022 | 0 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Rutile E11A target a 200 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Synthetic Rutile Production from Leucoxene (Becher Process)
This report analyses the economics of Synthetic Rutile production from leucoxene in a United States-based facility. In this process, ilmenite is oxidized forming iron(III) oxide. Subsequently, the iron(III) oxide is reduced to its metalic form, which is then separated from the product by aeration and leaching with acid, resulting in Synthetic Rutile.
