Titanium slag, which refers to the slag material rich in titanium dioxide obtained by selectively reducing iron to elemental iron through an electric furnace (submerged arc furnace) smelting of titanium concentrate, is a metallurgical term published in 2019. It can be divided into acid-soluble titanium slag and high titanium slag.
Segmented Market Analysis
According to the different content of titanium dioxide (TiO2), commonly used titanium slag in the industry currently includes types such as TiO2 content less than 80%, TiO2 content of 81%-85%, TiO2 content of 86%-90%, TiO2 content of 91%-95%, and TiO2 content over 95%. Among them, titanium slag with TiO2 content between 86%-90% and 81%-85% dominates the market. According to our research data, the global production of titanium slag with a TiO2 content of 86% -90% and 81% -85% in 2023 was 1775.9 tons and 1254.5 tons, respectively, with production proportions of 39.92% and 28.20%, respectively.
From the perspective of downstream application patterns, the application of titanium slag mainly involves two aspects: titanium sponge and titanium pigment. Among them, the titanium pigment field is the largest application market. Data shows that in 2023, the consumption of titanium slag in the titanium pigment industry reached 4046.7 tons, accounting for 90.97% of the total consumption.
