The primary commercial titanium-containing minerals are ilmenite and rutile. In 2019, South Africa accounted for approximately 12% (820 t, 2nd only to China) of the world's ilmenite production and 18% (110 t, 3rd overall) of the world's rutile production (Gambogi, 2020).Furthermore, South Africa is estimated to possess approximately 5% of world ilmenite …

Experiments to evaluate the performance of the ilmenite were carried out in a laboratory-scale cylindrical fluidized bed. Losses of the ilmenite were investigated by mixing and recovering the ilmenite using two different coal samples of 13.2–50 mm particle size. Density tracers were used to determine the écart probable moyen (EPM).
