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%
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%
