===Mineral beneficiation processes===
* The [[Becher process]] is an industrial process used to produce synthetic [[rutile]], a form of titanium dioxide, from the ore [[ilmenite]].
* The [[Chloride process]].
* The [[Titanium dioxide#Sulfate_process|Sulfate process]]: "relies on [[sulfuric acid]] (H2SO4) to leach titanium from [[ilmenite]] ore (FeTiO3). The resulting reaction produces [[titanyl sulfate]] (TiOSO4). A secondary hydrolysis stage is used to break the titanyl sulfate into hydrated TiO2 and H2SO4. Finally, heat is used to remove the water and create the end product - pure TiO2."<ref name="bar1">{{cite news |url=https://www.barbenanalytical.com/-/media/ametekbarbenanalytical/downloads/application_notes/tio2_an_reva.pdf?la=en&revision=eee43ea5-f5e3-4167-af19-4c177cc3dcdd |title=Application Note Titanium Dioxide - Sulfate Process |publisher=Ametek |agency=Barben Analytical |date=2015}}</ref>
