Product and Process Overview
TTI produces titanium slag primarily used in the production of white pigment
Titanium slag is also used in the production of titanium metal with applications
including airplane components and medical uses
Key process steps include pre-reduction, metallisation and smelting to upgrade
ilmenite into high-quality titanium products and high-purity pig iron
During ilmenite pre-reduction step, it is reduced to pellets that, during the smelting
step, are fed together with coal and anthracite into a furnace, thus producing slag
and pig iron
TTI produces high-purity pig iron (HPPI) that has high elasticity and tensile strength
valuable in such applications as wind turbines and automotive parts
Smelter uses one round 43 MWh AC Furnace with 3 Soderberg electrodes using
hydropower
