Introduction: It is well known that shergottites have a large variation of rare earth elements (REEs) abundance patterns and isotopic compositions. Jones [1] and Borg and Draper [2] suggest that light REEs (LREEs)-enriched shergottites resulted from mixing of a LREEs-enriched component with their parental magma. The LREEsenriched component is thought to be either Martian crust [1] or a KREEP-li...

Abstract In the present study, a Babbitt-Ilmenite composite was developed via stir casting and mechanical properties (hardness tensile strength) of were optimized using Taguchi philosophy. The effects variations in percentage weight Ilmenite, stirring speed aging time on studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis confirmed presence Ilmenite metal matrix uniform dispersal Babbitt establish...

TiO2 production is a key part of Ti metallurgy and recycling, the process itself has turned out to be energy-consuming material-consuming. New technologies are needed utilize complex ores, such as ilmenite, reduce carbon footprint extraction. Ammonium sulfate roasting been revealed an efficient way carry phase transformations minerals. A low-temperature sulfation approach was studied chemically...
