Single copy - October issue
Mineral Sands Report is a monthly newsletter covering all aspects of the titanium minerals, TiO2 pigment and zircon industries. It provides up to date news, analysis, pricing and data, making it the source of information for the industry. In the October 2004 issue of Mineral Sands Report: News- Changing fortunes for titanium slag… Early shutdown for Ticor SA furnace… Tinfos announces extended halt to production… Kerr-McGee closes Savannah sulfate plant… Pigment producers raise prices again...
Industry Insight: The sulfate dragon awakens. September marked a milestone in the history of the TiO2 pigment industry, with the closure of the last sulfate process plant in the US: Kerr-McGee Chemical announced that it was to close the 54,000 tpa sulfate plant at Savannah by the end of the month. This closure marks the end of an era in the sulfate process in the US; but it comes at a time of unprecedented expansion of the process in Asia, where rapid-growth economies are prompting exceptional demand growth for TiO2 pigment. In this article we investigate the implications of these changes for feedstock requirements.
Country Profile- Ukraine in review. Ukraine is one of the few countries in the mineral sands industry with a truly vertically integrated titanium industry. Ukraine has a globally important titanium feedstock industry, as well as being a producer of TiO2 pigment and titanium metal. Furthermore, Ukraine is a producer of zircon sand, flour and zirconium chemicals. In this article TZMI examines the Ukrainian titanium and zircon industries.
Trade Data- Asian Feedstock Imports. TZMI examines trends in import statistics for the Asian countries of Japan, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, India and China, and Asian TiO2 pigment production capacity.
Pricing Pages- Regular pricing information and pricing developments for feedstocks, and TZMI’s global feedstock price index.
