Recovery of Titanium from Beach Sand by Physical Separation
100.00. The titanium and iron distribution of raw beach sand was studied. The results of titanium and iron distribution in different size fractions of raw beach sand are presented in Table 1. It was found that titanium and iron assays were 0.43% and 3.82% respectively in the +1000 microns particle size fraction.
