- Synthetic rutile
was first produced in 1948 and is sold under a variety of names.
- Very pure
synthetic rutile is transparent and almost colorless (slightly
yellow) in large pieces.
- Synthetic rutile
can be made in a variety of colors by doping, although the
purest material is almost colorless.
- The chemical
formula of synthetic rutile is TiO2, and it crystallizes in the
tetragonal system in boules similar to those of synthetic
corundum.
- Synthetic rutile
is manufactured through the upgrading of ilmenite ore to remove
impurities and yield a feedstock for production of titanium
tetrachloride through the chloride process.
- Synthetic rutile
concentrates are com posed of very fine crystals and are porous,
whereas natural rutile grains a recomposed of single
crystals.
- The development of
processes to produce synthetic rutile was necessitated by the
small quantity of economic reserves of natural rutile
worldwide.
- Rutile is seldom
used in jewellary because it is not very hard
(scratch-resistant), measuring only about 6 on the Mohs hardness
scale.
- Since 1977,
Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp oration has produced synthetic rutile
at its mobile, Alabama plant; it is the only U.S. producer of
synthetic rutile today.
- Synthetic rutile
prices have risen more strongly, up by around 12%, and ilmenite
prices have increased by around 8%.
- Synthetic rutile
is the starting material for the production of titanium
tetrachloride, titanium metal and titanium dioxide.
- Synthetic Rutile
is used for chloride route Pigment production and also for the
production of Titanium Sponge/Metal.
- Indian Synthetic
Rutile Plants are based on reduction roasting followed by acid
leaching with or without generation of hydrochloric acid.
- The CMRL, which
began production at its 10,000 tpy synthetic rutile plant in
Kerala in 1990, has gradually raised the production capacity to
around 36,000 tpy in 2005-06 for exports.
- Synthetic rutile
is used for coating welding electrodes and for manufacture of
titanium tetrachloride which in turn is used in making titanium
sponge.
- Synthetic rutile
made from ilmenite can be substituted for natural rutile.
- Synthetic rutile
or slag is likely to be used as feed in increasing amount.
- The process of
converting ilmenite to synthetic rutile generates 0.7 tons of
waste per ton of product, and the chloride process generates
about 0.2 tons of waste per ton of TiO2 product using rutile as
a feedstock.
- Two commercial
systems are in current use for production of the world's
synthetic rutile, namely: The well-documented Becher process, as
used extensively in Western Australia, and The Benilite process,
used in India, Malaysia and the USA, which involves leaching
treated ilmenite with hot hydrochloric acid under pressure.
- Synthetic rutile
is manufactured using ilmenite feed to create an upgraded
titanium dioxide product.
- Iluka is the
world’s largest producer of synthetic rutile, accounting for
approximately 66% of global production in past years.
- Synthetic rutile
or upgraded ilmenite, is a chemically modifi ed ilmenite that
has had most of the ferrous, non-titanium components removed and
is suitable for use in the chloride pigment process.
- Ilmenite ores are
also upgraded into “Synthetic Rutile” products containing
92-95wt.% TiO2 by processes consisting in the leaching of
ilmenite ores with mineral acids.
