Titanium in Africa

Overview of ore deposits and extraction

Titanium mining in Africa has been beset by environmental problems due to the polluting nature of processing rutile, a principal titanium ore. The extraction and refinement of rutile often lead to the release of heavy metals and other contaminants, impacting soil, water, and air quality. Titanium production in Africa is concentrated in the following principal countries and companies.
