Leucoxene is a titanium-bearing mineral formed by the alteration (weathering) of ilmenite. During this natural process, iron is leached out, leaving a material rich in titanium dioxide (TiO₂). It commonly occurs in heavy mineral sands alongside rutile, ilmenite, and zircon. 🔬 Key Characteristics Origin: Altered ilmenite (secondary mineral) TiO₂ Content: Typically 65–90% (can be upgraded further) Color: Yellowish-brown to gray Magnetic Nature: Weakly magnetic to non-magnetic Crystal Form: Often amorphous or microcrystalline Density: High (similar to other titanium minerals) ⚙️ Industrial Uses Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Feedstock Pigments White pigments for paints, plastics, paper, inks Welding Electrodes Flux coating material Ceramics & Refractories Advanced Materials Precursor for synthetic rutile production
