One of these is known as akaogiite and should be considered as an extremely rare mineral. [8][9][10] It is mainly sourced from ilmenite ore. This is the most widespread form of titanium dioxide-bearing ore around the world. Rutile is the next most abundant and contains around 98% titanium dioxide in the ore. The metastable anatase and brookite phases convert irreversibly to the equilibrium rutile phase upon heating above temperatures in the range 600a 800 A C (1,112a 1,472 A F).[11] Titanium dioxide has eight modifications a in addition to rutile, anatase, and brookite, three metastable phases can be produced synthetically (monoclinic, tetragonal and orthorombic), and five high-pressure forms (I -PbO2-like, baddeleyite-like, cotunnite-like, orthorhombic OI, and cubic phases) also exist: FormCrystal system Synthesis rutiletetragonal Anatasetetragonal Brookiteorthorhombic TiO2(B)[12] monoclinic Hydrolysis of K2Ti4O9 followed by heating TiO2(H), hollandite-like form[13] tetragonal Oxidation of the related potassium titanate bronze, K0.25TiO2 TiO2(R), ramsdellite-like form[14] orthorhombicOxidation of the related lithium titanate bronze Li0.5TiO2 TiO2(II)-(I -PbO2-like form)[15]orthorhombic akaogiite (baddeleyite-like form, 7 coordinated Ti)[16] monoclinic TiO2 -OI[17] orthorhombic cubic form[18]cubicP > 40 GPa, T > 1600 A C TiO2 -OII, cotunnite(PbCl2)-like[19]orthorhombicP > 40 GPa, T > 700 A C The cotunnite-type phase was claimed by L. Dubrovinsky and co-authors to be the hardest known oxide with the Vickers hardness of 38 GPa and the bulk modulus of 431 GPa (i.e. close to diamond's value of 446 GPa) at atmospheric pressure.[19] However, later studies came to different conclusions with much lower values for both the hardness (7a 20 GPa, which makes it softer than common oxides like corundum Al2O3 and rutile TiO2)[20] and bulk modulus (~300 GPa).[21][22] The oxides are commercially important ores of titanium. The metal can also be mined from other minerals such as ilmenite or leucoxene ores, or one of the purest forms, rutile beach sand. Star sapphires and rubies get their asterism from rutile impurities present in them.[23] Titanium dioxide (B) is found as a mineral in magmatic rocks and hydrothermal veins, as well as weathering rims on perovskite. TiO2 also forms lamellae in other minerals.[24] Spectral lines from titanium oxide are prominent in class M stars, which are cool enough to allow molecules of this chemical to form. A ball-and-stick chemical model of an anatase crystal Structure of anatase. Together with rutile and brookite, one of the three major polymorphs of TiO2. Production: Evolution of the global production of titanium dioxide according to process. The production method depends on the feedstock. The most common mineral source is ilmenite. Ilmenite is treated with sulfuric acid to extract iron(II) sulfate. The resulting synthetic rutile is further processed according to the specifications of the end user, i.e. pigment grade or otherwise.[25] In another method for the production of synthetic rutile from ilmenite the Becher Process first oxidizes the ilmenite as a means to separate the iron component.
