Development of cyclic process producing rutile from beach sand ilmenite in a fluid bed reactor. Further experiment on reaction rates required.

Magnetic separation was carried out on a sample of titaniferous hematite to produce a concentrate for chlorination and direct reduction tests. A concentrate containing 81.7 per cent Fe203 and 6.35 per cent Ti02 was produced.

At the request of the South Australian Department of Mines a survey of current Australian usage of mineral fillers and pigments was made. The survey was intended to determine the consumptions and specifications typical of various industries and to...

The heavy mineral fraction of an alluvial sand south of Moomba contains fine black magnetic grains. X-ray diffraction and electron probe analyses show that the magnetic grains have a hexagonal crystal structure intermediate between that of hematite...

Drilling and testing of a new groundwater production well APCEL 14 at Snuggery has indicated a production rate of about 8000 cubic m/day (80,000 gallons per hour), which should have only minimal effects on groundwater levels in both the upper...

The heavy mineral potential of Tertiary sediments in the Chundie Swamps was investigated with 2 drill traverses (43 RC open vertical holes totalling 863 m) and reconnaissance soil mineralogical sampling. Heavy mineral contents were very low.

A process for extracting titanium dioxide from ilmenite by chlorination is described. Fluidising characteristics of ilmenites from various sources have been determined experimentally. A small fluid bed reactor, constructed for investigation described....

The cyclic chlorination process for conversion of rutile produced from beach sand, and of ilmenite, into titanium tetrachloride, has potential for commercial production. Further testing work is recommended.

Experiments were carried out which measured the rates at which chlorine reacts with oxidized ilmenite contained in, and also the rates of heat transfer to, a chlorination reactor set up for extracting titanium dioxide from ilmenite - bearing beach...

A three-stage process has been proposed for producing ferric oxide and titanium dioxide as seperate products from ilmenite. Thermodynamic data avaliable from the literature were insufficient for assessment of the process. This report is an account of...

Methods were investigated to remove titanium from sulphate leach liquors from Radium Hill ore.

A total of 380 stream sediment samples and 40 heavy mineral samples were collected from Giles Complex norites in the Musgrave Ranges and the -80 mesh fraction tested for copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, manganese, titanium,...
