Lawe ʻia ʻo Ilmenite mai ka ilmenite concentrate a i ʻole titanium magnetite, me nā mea nui ʻo TiO2 a me Fe. ʻO Ilmenite ka mineral titanium i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he kumu nui e hana ai i nā puaʻa titanium dioxide (TiO2). ʻO Titanium dioxide ka puaʻa keʻokeʻo koʻikoʻi loa ma ka honua, ʻo ia ka 90% o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea titanium ma Kina a me ka honua.
Haʻaheo kā mākou hui e hāʻawi i kahi ākea nui o Ilmenite kiʻekiʻe e hoʻokō i nā koi ulu o nā ʻoihana like ʻole. Hoʻopili ʻia ʻo Ilmenite mai ka ilmenite concentrate a i ʻole titanomagnetite a he mineral i loaʻa ka titanium dioxide (TiO2) a me ka hao (Fe). ʻO ia ka mea nui i hoʻohana ʻia i ka hana ʻana o ka titanium dioxide, kahi puaʻa keʻokeʻo kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe kaulana me ka nui o nā hoʻohana.
Ma muli o kona keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, opacity a me ka ʻōlinolino, hoʻohana nui ʻia ka titanium dioxide i ka hana ʻana i nā pena, nā uhi, nā plastics a me nā huahana pepa. He kūpaʻa maikaʻi loa ia i ka wā, ka pāhawewe UV a me nā kemika. Hoʻohui ʻia, hoʻonui ka titanium dioxide i ka lōʻihi a me ke ola o nā huahana like ʻole, e lilo ia i mea waiwai nui i nā ʻoihana he nui.
Ua hoʻokumu kā mākou hui i kahi pilina pili lōʻihi me nā mines ma ka home a ma waho e hōʻoia i ka hoʻolako mau a hilinaʻi o ka ilmenite kiʻekiʻe. Ma o kā mākou mau loulou ikaika me kēia mau mines, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolako i kā mākou mea kūʻai waiwai me ka ilmenite no Sulfate a i ʻole Chloride me ka lōʻihi o ke kūpaʻa a me ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe.
ʻAno Sulfate Ilmenite:
P47, P46, V50, A51
Nā hiʻohiʻona:
ʻO nā maʻiʻo TiO2 kiʻekiʻe me ka solubility acid kiʻekiʻe, nā mea haʻahaʻa o P a me S.
ʻAno Chloride Ilmenite:
W57, M58
Nā hiʻohiʻona:
ʻO nā mea kiʻekiʻe o TiO2, nā mea kiʻekiʻe o Fe, nā mea haʻahaʻa o Ca a me Mg.
ʻO kā mākou hauʻoli e hui pū me nā mea kūʻai aku ma ka home a ma luna.
