UGS-Rutile :

QIT stands for Quebec Iron & Titanium, it owns an ilmenite mine
in northeastern Quebec; the ore is shipped to Tracy where it is processed
to titanium dioxide slags, iron pigs,steel billets and steel auto parts.

« UGS »(stands for upgraded slag) is a form of titanium dioxide slag,
obtained by refining Sorelslag by diluted hydrochloric acid.

 Sorelslag has the following general formula:

TiO2                     82%
FeO                      8.0%
 SiO2                    2.0%
Al2O3                  3.0%
MgO                     5.0%
Total                    100%

The « UGS » slag used in this experiment  has the following formula
It is a « synthetic rutile » :

TIO2                    94.13%
FE2O3                 1.09%
AL2O3                 0.45%
CAO                     0.11%
MGO                    0.45%
P205                     0.004%
MNO                    0.02%
SIO2                     2.69%
CR2O3                 0.08%
V2O5                   0.42%
ZRO2                   0.07%
NB2O5                0.01%
CL-                       0.12%
L.O.I                     0.35%


It was 140 mesh sieved.
