Titanium resources,. It refers to titanium ore reserves, reserve base and resources. According to the annual assessment of world mineral resources, the world's ilmenite (concentrate) output in 2002 was 4.95 million tons, and rutile (concentrate).

annotations: In addition, 2.35 million tons of titanium slag (a by-product of steel smelting). 95% of the raw materials are used to produce titanium dioxide, and the remaining 5% are used to produce sponge titanium, titanium based chemical products, etc. Titanium dioxide has three major uses: pigments and coatings account for about 49.3%; Paper making accounts for about 15.6%; Plastic accounts for about 25.0%. In 2002, the United States produced 14700 tons of titanium metal (sponge titanium), 55% of which was used in the aerospace industry. On the whole, resources are abundant and supply and demand are balanced. In 2003, the world's proven ilmenite reserves were 420 million tons. Including 200 million tons in Australia, 63 million tons in South Africa, 40 million tons in Norway, 30 million tons in China and 30 million tons in India; The rutile (TiO2) reserves are 48 million tons, including 22 million tons in Australia, 8.3 million tons in South Africa, 6.6 million tons in India and 2.5 million tons in Ukraine. Reserves base: 740 million tons of ilmenite and 87 million tons of rutile. It is estimated that the global resource of ilmenite (TiO2) is about 1 billion tons, and the resource of rutile (TiO2) is about 230 million tons. [1]
