Ilmenite is a heavy mineral mainly used as a source of titanium. Ilmenite is iron black metallic oxide comprising titanium dioxide and iron. Ilmenite occurs as igneous rocks and is present into layers as a result of magmatic segregation. Heavy opaque crystal of ilmenite deposit on bottom of magma chambers and ilmenite is collected in layers. Ilmenite is also a constituent of sand and is commonly accompanied by small amounts of magnetite, rutile and zircon among others. Other sources of ilmenite include pegmatites, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. Planning to lay down strategy for the next few years? Our report can help shape your plan better. Ilmenite is magnetic and is separated from other minerals using magnetic separators. Ilmenite is processed into synthetic rutile and used as a feedstock in the production of titanium pigment. Conversion of ilmenite to synthetic rutile increases the titanium dioxide concentration in the mineral. Synthetic rutile is the fastest g...

Solar Powered Train Market: Introduction Solar energy can be considered a major renewable source of energy. It can be used as a source of energy in trains. Solar powered trains are powered by placing photovoltaic panels close to or on rail lines. These photovoltaic panels are able to generate considerable amount of electricity that could trigger traction current to enable trains in moving forward. Train can quickly get recharged using electricity by a static solar panel at each stop, as it follows a straight and fixed route The idea of attaching solar panels to railway sleepers on roof is also gaining considerable traction in the industry, as it potentially allows for solar photovoltaic panels to work on long routes at relatively low costs The basic principle of solar powered train is to use energy stored in battery systems during and after charging it from roof mounted solar panels. The energy from charged storage batteries is used to drive the engine and move the train in for...

Ultra-lightweight Cement Composites Market: Introduction Ultra-lightweight cement composite is a type of composite cement that is used for developing onshore and offshore infrastructure. Different types of fibers such as smooth steel fiber (SF), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber, polyethylene (PE) fiber, and their combinations are employed in the development of ultra-lightweight cement composites to increase their flexural tensile strength. Ultra-lightweight cement composites offer high compressive strength due to creation of strong cement paste matrices that provide ‘three dimensional’ confinement to cenospheres Ultra-lightweight cement composites also possess low thermal conductivity due to the incorporation of hollow cenospheres as micro-aggregates. This effectively decreases the density of ultra-lightweight cement composites and introduces voids. Ultra-lightweight cement composite’s thermal conductivity is 80% and 54% lower than that of concrete and cement paste, respectively. ...
