Talk:Rutile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Both Ilmenite and this are linked to from titanium ore as the two most common forms of Titanium ore. Should the opening line of both mention that this is a titanium ore? Scottkeir 04:26, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rutile
This article ends in mid sentence.
[edit] Image dropped
This image was removed in my dit because the article had too many images and it was hard to make it look readable with it in. I've put it here so that it can be put back in, perhaps when the article is fleshed out more. The table may need fixing too.
[edit] Titania
Titania is not an "old-fashioned" chemical name; among Materials engineers, it is the term used almost exclusively when referring to TiO2, unless there is need to specificy which phases is meant.
[edit] Questionable Point
The statement "(Rutile) is primarily extracted for use in refractory manufacture or use as a base for paints. Rarely is it extracted as an ore of titanium" is questionable. TIMET - a global leader in Titanium based metal production for aerospace and other industries (as well as Russian and other manufacturers) chlorinate rutile ores as a first step in producing titanium tetrachloride, the intermediary in the production of titanium sponge - the raw material for titanium metal products.
