Geology C‑class Low‑importance

	Geology portal Talk:Ilmenite is part of WikiProject Geology, an attempt at creating a standardized, informative, comprehensive and easy-to-use geology resource. If you would like to participate, you can choose to edit this article, or visit the project page for more information.GeologyWikipedia:WikiProject GeologyTemplate:WikiProject GeologyGeology articles

Cornwall C‑class Low‑importance

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Cornwall, an attempt to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of Cornwall and all things Cornish. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project member page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.CornwallWikipedia:WikiProject CornwallTemplate:WikiProject CornwallCornwall-related articles

C

This article has been rated as C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Rocks and minerals C‑class Mid‑importance

Images

Please can someone give an idea of size, such as a scale bar. This is very basic stuff. Not including these is bad practice and makes the images of very little value. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.64.39 (talk • contribs)

I have answered here. Best regards Rhanyeia 12:36, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, it is good practise to include a scale bar or object for which the size is relatively well known. But you have to work with what you get on wikipedia. This is also not the only image without, not by a long shot.Rolinator 02:40, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clay mineral

Is Ilmenite really a clay mineral? I found some refs claiming that it is found in clays, but as clay mineral should it be a layered silicate? --

Stone (talk) 13:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. What refs? Perhaps it occurs as residual grains in clays formed by weathering or alteration of primary ilmenite bearing rock. Vsmith (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right. The ref says residual grains. Should we remove the clay mineral box at the end of the article ? --Stone (talk) 06:06, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chemical name

Isn't this Iron (II) Titanate? 76.124.224.179 (talk) 00:05, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from Ferrocarbon

I ended up on this page by looking for "ferrocarbon". As that is a redirect to Ilmenite, the term "ferrocarbon" should be explained/mentioned in the text, shouldn't it? 130.180.55.242 (talk) 12:00, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for raising this point. I have changed the Ferrocarbon article's redirect from Ilmenite to Steel, because I think ferrocarbon is steel with at least 10% carbon, so it seems more sensible to me. I've also added a sentence to the ilmenite article in a new section named "Alloys". GeoWriter (talk) 14:27, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wangdaodeite

Wangdaodeite is another natural polymorph of FeTiO3. Eudialytos (talk) 12:36, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (January 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Ilmenite. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added {{dead link}} tag to http://argex.ca/documents/Euro_Pacific_Canada_Titanium_Dioxide_August2011.pdf
Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120818182108/http://www.mineraldeposits.com.au/tizir/ to http://www.mineraldeposits.com.au/tizir/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Sorry, you have on the page: "Titanium dioxide is a very good white pigment and is also used in the production of Titanium metal." I have never heard and there is no sense to produce titanium metal from titanium dioxide pigment. Titanium metal could be produced from ilmenite.2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl4 + 2 FeCl3 + 6 CO and TiCl4 + 2 Mg → Ti + 2 MgCl2
