Rutile sand is a kind of sand containing rutile minerals, its main component is titanium dioxide, widely used, mainly including the following aspects:
Titanium dioxide production
Rutile sand is a high quality raw material for producing titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide has high hiding power, high whiteness and good weather resistance, and is widely used in coatings, plastics, paper making, ink, cosmetics and other industries.
Welding rod manufacturing
Rutile sand can be used as an important component of electrode cover. It can improve the welding process performance of the electrode, make the arc stable, reduce spatter, and improve the quality and appearance of the weld.
refractory
Rutile sand has a high melting point and good chemical stability, can be used to manufacture refractory materials, such as refractory bricks, refractory coatings, etc., used in metallurgy, building materials, glass and other high-temperature industrial fields, can withstand high temperature environment, protect equipment and kiln lining.

Black sands are sandy deposits that contain a high percentage of heavy metals of economic importance because they enter into important strategic industries, and they are named so because they contain a high percentage of dark-black minerals (iron minerals) such as ilmenite and magnetite.
Black sand contains a percentage of economic minerals (ilmenite - zircon - magnetite - rutile - agate) and monazite, which contains radioactive minerals. Many countries extract heavy minerals from the black sands they host due to their economic importance. Also, the beaches are cleared of environmentally harmful radioactive substances
