Description

Titanomagnetite CAS NO 12178-54-0 is a naturally occurring iron-titanium oxide mineral belonging to the magnetite series. It is a critical raw material valued for its unique combination of ferrimagnetism and high density. This mineral is essential for industries requiring heavy media separation, advanced materials synthesis, and specialized pigments. Its magnetic properties and chemical stability make it a sought-after component in geological, industrial, and research applications.

Application

• Heavy Media Separation: Used as a dense medium in coal washing and mineral processing plants to separate materials based on specific gravity.
• Ferrite Production: Serves as a key precursor in the manufacturing of soft and hard ferrites for electronics, including transformers and inductors.
• Geological & Paleomagnetic Studies: Acts as a natural recorder of the Earth's magnetic field, crucial for understanding tectonic history and dating geological formations.
• Pigments & Coatings: Utilized in the production of corrosion-resistant and magnetic pigments for specialized paints and coatings.
• Catalysis & Environmental Remediation: Employed as a catalyst or catalyst support in certain chemical processes and for the adsorption of contaminants in water treatment.
• Radiation Shielding: Incorporated into composites for enhanced density in radiation shielding applications due to its high iron content.
• Foundry Sands & Abrasives: Used in metal casting as a molding sand additive and in the manufacture of abrasive materials.

Quality Control

Our Titanomagnetite is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through a series of tests including chemical assay, magnetic susceptibility measurement, particle size distribution (PSD), and density analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents. As a mineral powder, it is generally stable under these conditions but should be protected from excessive moisture to prevent caking.
