Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

EC number: 308-551-1 | CAS number: 98072-94-7 Natural ilmenite ore is concentrated by selective removal of impurities, chiefly iron, to yield a product enriched in titanium dioxide. The process consists of an optional oxidative roast followed by a reductive roasting stage, an acidic leaching stage and washing and drying the product. Alternatively the process consists of selectively chlorinating the iron oxide present in the reduced ore.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No reliable results are available for the bioaccumulation of synthetic rutile in terrestrial organisms. Therefore, read-across is proposed to available monitoring data for elemental Ti-concentration in plants and corresponding soil or sediment samples. Reliable BSAF factors for plants vary between 0.0002 to 0.0008 kg/kg and point to the absence of bioaccumulation of Ti in plants. These results reflect equilibrium conditions for Ti in the environment, regardless of the speciation of Ti.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
