Characterization of Langkawi Black Sand for the Recovery of Titanium

摘要

Characterization of Langkawi black sand for the recovery of titanium had been carried out in this study. In this study, the size distribution of black sand particles was determined by the sieve analysis whereas the specimen of different portion of black sand for each size of particle was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The highest percentage in particle size was illustrated as 75.40% in 75μm. Techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used to identify and analyze the ilmenite and rutile phase in the Langkawi black sand.
