History. Titanium ore was first discovered in 1791 in Cornish beach sands by an English clergyman, William Gregor.The actual identification of the oxide was made a few years later by a German chemist, M.H. Klaproth.Klaproth gave the metal constituent of this oxide the name titanium, after the Titans, the giants of Greek mythology.. Pure metallic titanium was first produced in either 1906 or
Titanium is a rare metal that because of its dispersal and hard to extract. Also a silver-white transition metal. Its features are lightweight, high strength, resistance wet chlorine corrosion. Titanium is found in ore, such as Rutile and Ilmenite. Extraction of titanium from ore is called the titanium mining process.
Titanium mining uses two main methods: suction dredging and auxiliary mining. In the suction dredging method, an electrically powered suction dredge floats within a 15- to 20-acre man-made pond. At one end of the pond, the dredge draws in overburden, titanium
Titanium processing Titanium processing Extraction and refining: The production of titanium metal accounts for only 5 percent of annual titanium mineral consumption; the rest goes to the titanium pigment industry. Pigments are produced using either a sulfate process or a more environmentally acceptable carbo-chlorination process (described below) that converts TiO2 into TiCl4.
