Toward Decarbonization of the Titanium Industry via Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction. [PDF]
Hydrogen plasma smelting reduction enables direct, zero‐carbon conversion of low‐grade ilmenite into steel‐grade iron and a titania‐rich precursor for pigment production. The single‐step process merges smelting and refining, sharply lowers silica content, and offers a breakthrough path for sustainable, high‐value extraction from abundant mineral sands.

Chemical and mineralogical characterization of Kahnuj ilmenite concentrate and investigation of its reduction behavior in pure hydrogen gas [PDF]
Introduction: Ilmenite is considered the most important source of titanium and its oxide and is usually processed by sulfate, chloride, and smelting processes. In all these processes, incomplete removal of iron combined with titanium is the main problem.
