Titanium Electrochemistry in Minerals Processing. Australia is on of the world's largest producers of titanium minerals for industrial and consumer products. This project aims to improve the efficiency of the Sulfate Process which is used to convert the titanium containing ore ilmenite into pure titanium dioxide pigment. The impovements expected include a decrease in the cost of production for the relevant industries, as well as a reduction in the volume of waste materials generated by the proce ....Titanium Electrochemistry in Minerals Processing.

Template-free Control of Titania Precipitation from Homogeneous Aqueous Solution. Used in the paint, plastic, ceramic, paper and synthetic fibre industries and having strategic nano-technological applications, titania is an important commodity for Australia, earning about $1.3 billion p.a. in exports. Better production methods through improved understanding of titania precipitation chemistry will help to increase our industrial productivity and minimise energy consumption. It may also lead to us ....Template-free Control of Titania Precipitation from Homogeneous Aqueous Solution. Used in the paint, plastic, ceramic, paper and synthetic fibre industries and having strategic nano-technological applications, titania is an important commodity for Australia, earning about $1.3 billion p.a. in exports. Better production methods through improved understanding of titania precipitation chemistry will help to increase our industrial productivity and minimise energy consumption. It may also lead to useful new processes and/or materials with catalytic properties. In an increasingly competitive global market, this is most relevant to Australian titania exporters and to Australian renewable energy programs (particularly for generating photovoltaic power).
