Mineral sands orebodies essentially fall into two categories based on the mode of deposition: alluvial or aeolian. Alluvial deposits are further split into marine beach placers (or …
Iluka is targeting a sand deposit that contains heavy mineral concentrate (HMC), the majority of which is naturally occurring ilmenite, which is a titanium dioxide mineral. This ilmenite will be processed at Iluka's nearby synthetic rutile kilns in North Capel to produce a valuable titanium feedstock which is used for pigment production.
The project proposes to produce high-mineral concentrate of zircon and ilmenite from the Atacama mineral sands deposit. The Atacama project site is located adjacent to the existing J-A mine and would be developed as a satellite deposit making use of J-A's existing facilities to maximise efficiency and reduce impacts where possible.
Mineral sands flowsheets vary according to the properties of the minerals present, wet magnetic separation often preceding high-tension separation where magnetic ilmenite is the dominant mineral, for example. A generalized flowsheet is shown in Figure 13.39. Low-intensity drum separators remove any magnetite from the feed, after which high ...
The demerger has resulted in two independent ASX-listed companies - Iluka Resources Limited, a global leader in the mineral sands industry and Deterra Royalties Limited, the largest independent royalty company listed on the ASX, with the MAC iron ore royalty as its cornerstone asset.

The term "mineral sands" normally refers to concentrations of heavy minerals (HM) in an alluvial (old beach or river system) environment. Occasionally these deposits are referred to as "beach sands". However mineral sands are also …
High-grade metamorphic and igneous rocks that contain heavy minerals weather and erode, contributing detritus composed of sand, silt, clay, and heavy minerals to fluvial systems.
Heavy mineral sands are the source of various commodities such as white titanium dioxide pigment and titanium metal. The three case studies in this paper show the value of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and statistical methods such as data clustering for process optimization and quality control during heavy mineral processing. The potential of XRD as an automatable, …
Mine Overview. The Rgc Mineral Sands-Green Cove Spring Titanium Mine is located near the town of Penney Farms in Florida. This mining site has been historically included in the Clay Phosphate Mining District, which is known for its significant mineral deposits. At this mine, the extracted ore consists of a mixture of ilmenite, kyanite, and rutile.
