A regolith beneficiation testbed was developed at DLR Bremen which is a TRL 4 level representation of the technology. The testbed has multiple process parameters that can be adjusted to produce the desired feedstock. This work focuses on the optimization of this testbed to produce a feedstock with higher ilmenite content than the input regolith.

Beneficiation of ilmenite using carbonitrothermy seems a promising route. It is a simple process and the process happens irrespective of the starting variety of carbon. (2) The process progresses first by reducing the iron oxide component of ilmenite, followed by TiO 2 reduction. The ultimate products obtained after the carbonitrothermy process ...

The principal mineral sources of titanium are rutile, anatase (both TiO2), ilmenite (FeTiO3) and leucoxene (a weathered ilmenite of variable concentration of TiO2 but similar to pseudorutile Fe2Ti3O9). These titaniferous minerals along with their value added products like Synthetic Rutile and TiO2 slag constitute "Titanium Feedstocks" for TiO2 pigment, Ti …
