ilmenite - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The major titanium minerals are anatase, brookite, ilmenite, leucoxene, perovskite, rutile, and sphene, but only ilmenite, leucoxene, and rutile have economic importance (USGS, 2013). Titanium is a light metal compared to iron, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and high corrosion resistance.
